Hello Everyone,
I am sure some of you have heard the recent changes in commercial drone operation laws. I just passed my FAA test and am pursuing a business in aerial photography. The new law requires anti-collision lights visible for 3 miles. The drone I use (DJI Inspire 1) has very dim lights so I am contemplating a new solution. One possibility is replace the current leds with a brighter setup, another idea is to fix an LED on the top of the drone that would be visible 360 degrees by use of a dome-shaped reflector and have it blink once per second or so. Obviously weight is a significant factor as well as how the LED is powered. I would prefer to run it off of the drones battery. I am not looking for spotlights or headlights, just a warning light that has great visibility. I appreciate any ideas in advance.
