These aren't very nice looking but they must work well based on the description.  Anyone use them before? please provide your feedback.  Thanks

i wonder if u can use OTG from back from microusb to usb and use standard usb led lamp like this bulb? https://aliexpress.com/item/Elec ... st/32815984808.html

There are light also to legs mods - i seen video that its used at night - each need 1 x AA battery so its quite heavy finally - in forum here someone wrote that front of spark is then lower than back. In YT video its look fine but dont know how well it works

I wonder why you would want that?
Is the Spark not lit enough by it's led lights?

I would not recommend you fly at night. Since there is no sufficient light, the performance of VPS will be bad. In addition, led light from the third party is not tested and it will affect the performance.

yeah seems like a dodgy idea... Just wondering why would the GPS be lacking at night and not during the day?

thanks for the video.
I was surprised to see Spark flying with the lamps

I bought the same pkg, ie legs and lamps. I had no success in even taking off from the ground, cause Spark just tips forward into the ground. I returned the pkg. Did you launch from the ground when flying with the lamps.

I am wondering if having the stick sensitivity slider close to minimum could have added to my failure the launch?

I use them on all my drones for identification when flying , the also give you a visual indicator which way the drone is facing, if you loose the DJI Go4 app.

They are no use as lighting for the camera

I’ve done a bit of night flying, the lights on the drone seem more than sufficient for LOS flying.

Yeah, flytron is a good place to purchase LED lights for drones. Just ordered a few yesterday for both my Mavic and Spark.

I have these legs (without the lights) they offer good clearance and help keep the gamble from overload grass

I would not suggest you fly around evening time. Since there is no adequate light, and I think this is best lamp.) the execution of VPS will be awful.

Voice and an accent of the reviewer are just perfect. I am ready to sit there and listen him for ages.

I'm looking to get some LED lights for my Spark drone, or maybe something similar, to make night flying a bit more exciting. I was wondering if anyone has tried adding LED lights to their Spark or customized any of the available leg options. If you have any tips or suggestions on this, I would really appreciate your help. Thanks for taking the time to read my post! Oh, and by the way, if you have any insights on creating a bespoke lamp, that would be awesome too!
