Yeah, I had a very late night. But my feeling are as follows. Do I love these LumeCubes? Yeah, they are great. I believe I got my money's worth...
But I need to repeat this, Please don't shine these into anyone's eyes, especially your own. Haha I accidently blasted my eyes tonight, and had to curtail my flight plans for nearly a half hour.
I found that aiming one LED straight forward, and one pointed slightly down I could cover a much broader area. Even while flying, these LumeCubes get pretty hot. Be very careful when handling them.
It would be easy to accidently drop one, much like a hot potato. ;-) Now one thing I like a lot, the increased distance that I could see my drones location even while it was not super high in the sky.
When using only the onboard LED diodes for orientation and error reporting, it needs to be fairly high, to see the coloured lights from any distance. With the LumeCubes, because they are so bright, you can be at nearly any elevation, and you can still see them clearly. Even at half power they glow so bright.
They feel quite stable, never noticed any stress or heard anything unsuual.
I never had a chance to fly full batteries, as there were so many patrolling and cruiseing officers nearly everywhere I visited.
Going back out tomorrow, for some full battery packs and see how all everything goes. I would still recommend others get these little LED wonders.
They aren't cheap, but being so well designed and so precisely manufactured, & with an amazing customer service. Nearly Worth their weight in Gold... Ha
