The beacon is easily installed on most frames and does not interfere with flight.

• Very bright LEDs for excellent visibility day and night.

• Multiple operating modes - constant light, flashing, strobe.

• Waterproof housing for flights in difficult weather conditions.

• Easy to install and connect to the drone's on-board network.

How does this light beacon work?

The operating principle of the device is as simple as possible. Once connected to a power source, the LEDs light up. They emit a powerful luminous flux in the selected mode. Most often, the beacon is connected to the balancing connector of the battery. Or to any contacts with a voltage of 5-12V on the drone board. The modes are controlled by a button on the case.

The brightness and flashing mode are specially selected. They provide maximum visibility against the background of sky and earth. A flashing light attracts attention better than a constant light. It helps the brain quickly identify an object from the surrounding background. This is critical in situations where the drone is lost from sight.

Technical characteristics and practical application

The device has specific technical parameters. Operating voltage is typically 5 to 12 volts DC. The luminous flux can reach several hundred lumens. The enclosure rating is often IPX4 or higher against splashing water. The beacon can have LEDs of one or more colors. The most commonly used are red, white and blue for better perception.

The functionality includes several pre-installed programs. Constant light to indicate static position. Flashing slowly or quickly to attract attention. Stroboscopic mode for emergency signal. Switching between modes occurs by successively pressing the button. The selected mode is usually saved in the device's memory.

Installing the beacon takes a few minutes. It can be mounted on the top or bottom plate of the frame. Use zip ties, double-sided tape, or the screws provided. Point the light up or down depending on your needs. Connect the wires to a free connector on the board or to the balancing port of the battery. Make sure wires do not touch moving parts.

This accessory is useful in a variety of situations. When flying at sunset or dawn when there is insufficient lighting. For group racing to differentiate your drone from others. In case of loss of video signal in FPV, find the device visually. To comply with legislation requiring side lights. Just for beauty and creating a unique image of your copter.
