Create your own DJI Beacon with these affordable STROBON Cree LED strobe lights

You may have seen the DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise lighting beacon and wondered how you can get that same sort of lighting beacon without buying an entirely new drone. If you already own a drone, you can get these STROBON Cree LED strobe lights for dirt cheap and attach them to your drone with these mounts.

From what I can tell, these lights are nearly as bright as the official DJI Beacon and can be seen from nearly 3 miles away. If you’re concerned about weight, each of these mounts PLUS the Cree LED weighs an additional 5 grams (not a whole lot even if you use 4). And from various videos shown online, it doesn’t seem to affect any video recording at all once the drone is in the air.

Here are a couple of videos of the lights in action on various drones.

LaMetric custom LED clock

The BenQ LED lamp has all the usual features of an LED lamp -- adjustable lighting temperature and touch controls, but it also packs an ambient light sensor to adjust for brightness automatically.
