Colour Selection 

Because of the human eye's limitations, Every colour has different visibility and energy transfer rate. 
Also, every LED colour has different chemical compounds and efficiency.
According to our experience in years;
 

WHITE:   The best visibility and efficiency. 
YELLOW:   Same as White but better mist penetration. 
RED:        2nd in visibility, efficiency is the same as white but the best for the warning. 
GREEN:   3rd in visibility and efficiency.  Best for Standard RED/GREEN (Left/Right) navigation usage.
BLUE:      4th invisibility and also efficiency.  We are not suggesting this colour for warning or navigation but for special usage. 

IR 850nm: Visible for Night Vision Goggles and surveillance cameras with night mode.
IR 940nm: Visible for Night Vision Goggles only. Completely invisible to the naked human eye. Some cameras can see in the short range. 

Bottom line: White and Red is the best option if you need long-range visible strobes. And you can use green to identify your flying platform direction. Blue is only for special applications.

Usage

• BATTERY STATUS: Press the button then release to learn the battery status when it is OFF.
  (1 blink: Need Charge, 2 blinks: It's OK, 3 blinks: Fully Charged)
     
• ON/OFF: Press and hold the button for 3 seconds to turn ON or OFF
      
• CHARGE: Plug it into any micro USB charger or computer port when charging is required.
  - The LED will blink with very short bursts when charging.
  - The LED will blink with a 1-second ON / 2 seconds OFF pattern when the battery is fully charged.
  It takes 2 hours to empty batteries.  

Notice:

The battery includes its own PCM module. This module protects the battery from overcharging and discharging for a long lifespan. If there is no life sign on the circuit when you press the button, probably discharge protection has activated because of the low battery voltage. Just charge it to turn it on.
