Of night flights, I think one of the main problems for the establishment against us, is that our drones are nearly invisible to regular aircraft.
One thing that I have done, and many other drone pilots as well, is adding sufficient lights to your drone, so that it can be seen clearly from a long distance away.
That also goes well, for your VLOS as well. There are numerous systems and kits available that can indeed light up your drone, giving it sufficient bright lights that will allow your drone to be seen from a couple of miles or more away.
What I chose were Lume Cubes. These things are incredibly bright, and very well constructed.

They are bright, adjustable, have several strobe modes, and soon there will be coloured filters and gels to change hue and tone, to add to them.
Presently they have a fresh Kickstarter campaign for these newer smaller lights called Life-Lite. ;-)
