Check out Cree Strobe Lights for UAVs. There is another thread on the forum that has a lot of info on them. But I own two of them and if you want bright and the option for a serious strobe effect they are light weight, small but mighty. Very highly visible.

I think this is the thread you mention. The Strobon Standalones are incredible.

Do you have the eBay link? Just being nosey really, Ian!
However, if you have V2 Cree Strobon's why have you bought the other ones? Also, what do you mean when you say "I will adapt to these"?

These work very well - STROBON Cree® LED Strobe Light
I bought one & then a second one from STROBON Cree LED Strobe Light - Phantom Help
Unbelievable service(arrived within 3 days) & a wealth of informative links at his website.
DJI Phantom Accessories & Tips - Phantom Help

I used these little clips from HomeDepot (the Velcro is optional.) Cost about .30 each to mount!

And, just for fun, they work very well to attach finger LED's for an aerial show at night.

I have the Polar Pro led lights on front and back on landing gear. I set them on flash and I can see them at night at about 10,000 feet. Also have 2 white cree strobes that msinger sells. These are the ones that are rechargable. Very bright. Looked at one when I turned them on and could not see anything for a minute, blinded me. Bad me. LOL

I've done most of my flying over the sea from cliff-tops. Grey sea, grey clouds - it's easy to loose sight of the drone at a few hundred metres distance unless you know exactly where to look. Are these lights visible during full daylight at this distance? The drone's own lights certainly aren't. Can they be seen by the camera?

During the day they do help, I'd say up to about 800ft or so. But at night is when they really "shine" (pun intended).

I never fly in daylight, only at night. I don't take pictures or movies so can't answer that.
