STROBON XL Cree Edition - Dual Colours Navigation Strobe Lights
This product is compatible with the latest FAA and CAA anti-collision lights rules for drones. It can be seen from at least 3 miles at night.
STROBON Lights are the most powerful navigation lights on the model market for years. These XL Cree Edition lights are brighter and come in polycarbonate dome and wired.
It allows 2 different working modes;
-
RC Controlled Mode: Plug it on your RC receiver’s spare channel and then you can enable/disable it over the selected channel.
Each Strobon counts the servo signals. So, you can plug more than one Strobon into the same RC channel to synchronize them. (check the illustration below)
-
Standalone Mode: Connect them directly to the battery (3.5-6v) and they work in Standalone mode continuously.
Colour Selection
Every colour has different visibility and energy transfer rate because of the human eye's limitations.
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 | 2th in the visibility, efficiency is the same as white but the best for the warning. |
GREEN | 3th in visibility and efficiency. Best for Standard RED/GREEN (Left/Right) navigation usage. |
BLUE | 4th in the visibility 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.
