Find more about each light, which one we preferred, which one performed better when mounted in the front and on top. More importantly, we tested the anti collision lights to see if they all meet the FAA requirements to be visible from 3 miles.

Finally, we looked at which anti collision lights are weigh the least, their size, and their battery life. Watch the full video to find out which lights are the brightest. You can now fly your drone at night as a commercial Part 107 drone pilot as long as you do the free training on the FAA website. Recreational pilots can generally fly at night too with a anti-collision light.
