Hello
I would like to add lighting to my quadcopter. The area i would like to add them is on the ends of the arms.I was thinking about cutting aluminum in the shape of the ends of the arms and useing that for a heatsink.The frame itself is carbon fiber but i dont know its chemical compound so ill use aluminum for a heatsink instead.From tip to tip is 12 inches.
I run power for the quad on a lipo battery from 3s 1800 mah 25c to 3s 2200 mah 25 c
I would like 2 purple and 2 royal blues with a beam and harware to run it within 150 - 200 usd.
Weight cannot be over 250 grams.Weight is more important then heat in the build to a degree.Cooling from propellers will provide 25 -45mph wind.Flight time is 15 minutes and ill be landing on whatever i put there.
I would like the brightest leds possible adding a lens may be diffcult mounting it to the flat aluminum but maybe theres a way around it.I have a range of 1 to 2 miles so extremely bright is what i would like.
Help is greatly appreciated.I can offer exelent saltwater coral advice.
