  Just for the record this Web Site has nothing to do with me I was just looking for a strobe to help spot my AC in the air for longer distances.
  
http://www.flytron.com/
  
http://www.flytron.com/led-systems/322-strobon-cree-standalone.html
  
  Here is the site they sells Strobon Cree Lights that are about the size of postage stamp & are very, very Bright.
  
They say they are compatible with latest FAA and CAA anti-collision lights rules for drones. It's visible from 3 miles away at night.
  
I have the White & the Red ones the white is on the back & I helps me see it in the sky & what direction it is going even on a bright day.
  
The BONUS is that if you lose your AC (flyaway) or just dropped in the trees or whatever the Cree Strobon will keep blinking, you could go back at night to look for it. So far they have been lasting a lot longer than the 2+ hours advertised. Be careful when ordering they sell just the LED & tons of parts or the full system with charging (Micro Usb cable), (your old 5volt phone charger will work), battery. They took awhile to get here I just shipped my by Post from the UK at 14.90 UK translates to around $22.00 each.

They show on backorder now.  I have been interested in putting one or two on my Mavic, but that does get a little pricey.  However, I think it would help me keep a VLOS, which I seem to lose easily if I look away for a few minutes.
I would be interested to hear how others have configured these little strobes on their Mavic's.......

It is easier and cost $0.00 to look at your radar screen on the GO4 app...
