They aren't cheap, but I'll stick with my LumeCubes.

Mine arrived on Tuesday. Installed it tonight (Saturday) Red to Red, Black to Black. No light. Returning and disappointed.

Sorry for the question, you did remember to turn on the battery?Mine arrived on Tuesday
Yes. that was my thought also. Then thought it may not have enough power for the light so fully charged it. Still in the dark. (see what I did there).
So battery has power, battery lights on, and switching the small micro switch and no light.?
Assuming the end connector is seated properly on the battery terminals, and no wires broke or came loose during install. Must be a bad unit.
It was snug on the terminals and wires still intact after removal. Thats what I think also. May try another one or might put R/C police lights up front for fun and visibility.
What software are you using to get the presentation depicted in "capture.png". The presentation is so nice. Never seen this before..

Be careful that little metal piece over your pins doesn't arc it's skimpy wire . I had a couple sets of them they are bright .
Sorry.
From where did you get the image (capture.png)? It looks like a web service.

Ive had a headlight on my P3A for several months now with no issues. The light attaches with velcro and the small circuit board with 2 sided foam tape on the exterior. The wires slip over the existing battery terminals. I also have wrap around led light kit that attaches in the same way with its own separate little circuit board. With both connected to existing battery terminals, the battery still fits in fine no issues.
I purchased headlight on Amazon for $7-$8. Wrap around lights are available in different colors and purchased on amazon for around $13-$14 if I recall.
I have not noticed a measurable difference in flight time due to the extra draw on the battery even with both light sets turned on. I attached the lights and they have both securely stayed on for months with no issues. I always use both light sets while flying at night. The leds for both separate sets are very bright and makes the drone very easy to see at night. The headlight helps with visual orientation. The headlight does not effect the camera image. The headlight does not help with illumination for adding light to pictures or video unless you are low an close.
