Firehouse Technology Arc V Multi-Color Professional Drone Strobe w/Remote Control

Excellent quality, bright LED. Having the different colors, color combinations, and flash patterns to select is nice. I use white during the day and red at night. Setup and operation are both very easy. It's light and doesn't affect my DJI Mini 5 Pro at all. You get 2 velcro mounts and one double sided tape mount. I put one velcro mount on the top for night and one on the bottom for day. The remote works well to quickly and easily change the colors and flash pattern. The LED are very visible and easily meet FAA requirements. Good value for $35.

This is a review of the new Firehouse Technology Arc V Professional Multicolor Strobe. First off I have been testing different strobes now for a few years, we use these for public safety missions and these are the go to for our team. Its a true commercial strobe with Cree Leds and a boatload of features. There are now so many copies of these that use low quality 1-3 watt chinese leds that frankly thought they state it meets FAA regs in the field far very short, most dont have focused lenses so they seem bright in your hand until you actually get to altitude. Firehouse engineers these for the UAS market, want a top pay 12 buck, want a real strobe that meets faa regs these do the trick. I have posted a video review to see what we mean, but here are the features. Multicolor red white green blue, remote control (short range) controls the strobe or multiple strobes, waterproof, angled lens for side visibility at range, multiple modes which help us id when we have different aircraft in the air, we can change the light pattern or color which is a great benefit when using 2 or more drones, colors also allow if of position and orientation at night as required by faa. We also purchased there custom mounts for the mavic 3T from there website that mounts them on arms , and we velcro one to top as needed. The xpe2 Leds are 10 watt so 1000 lumen these things are just blinding, which the remote helps with at night as we don't have to be right over strobe when turned on and ruin our night vision. They also now have a memory so when you find a light pattern and color you want to use it remembers that and comes back on where you left off. Run time in strobe modes was in excess of 5 hours which was just great and was a quick recharge with leds to indicate charge status. Bottom line if you want a well made commercial strobe these guys have it down. They are very well reviewed and we require something that outperforms for the type of flying we do. We do know they are waterproof as one of the aircraft found the bottom of a pnd, and the light helps us locate it underwater, which is one of the reasons we use this as its independent of the aircrafts battery system so when lost easier to find as it stays ON.

This light is really bright. I can see it from about 3 km away. It is very light, yet feels very sturdy and I really like the finish, feels good in the hand. When placed on my drone it does not feel like it would not fall off as its gery light and the velcro strong. The battery life is really good as I get about 4 to 5 hours of use. When the battery is low it does not lose its brightness. The charge port is USB C so I don't have to carry another cable around but can use what I already have even tho it comes with one. There are also nymph colors and light patterns which I find very useful depending on where I use it. Congress with a remote that can change the patterns without having to use the button on the device itself, makes it easier to change while hovering close by. Recommend this to any drone pilot.

Firehouse tech technologies, multifunctional navigation light is top of the line, very bright, easy to use, and extremely well-made, high-quality. I use these on my fishing drone and they are easy to see day or night, I have been in contact with customer service and they provided Excellent customer service. I recommend these navigation lights and have no problem putting them on a expensive high quality drone. .

This is a nice strobe that will work well on my drone. It is nice a bright and easy to use. This light however DOES NOT come with a remote so the description is not accurate. The remote would have been nice, but not a deal breaker.

The light works great! I would assume it's definitely visible at it's advertised distance, and it holds a charge great. I found this out by not realizing this was incompatible with my anker products, and it held the same charge for over a month! This isn't a terrible issue, as it comes with a included cord. I just never use the included cords with devices, and was always under the impression USB-C has no incompatibilities. I had reached out to the company thinking i got a faulty product, and they sent a new one that arrived in just a couple days no questions asked. It was after plugging the second light into my anker cords and it not charging, i knew something had to be up with my cords. using the cords included, the lights charge fine. I even messaged the company back offering to pay for or return the new light at my expense, and they told me i can keep it. I've only heard good things about the company, and i'm happy i can add to the great things i've heard.

You can spend a little less and get something decent, but with this, you’re buying the name and the product. The product is top of the line. One of these is all you need for being seen. If you have three of them, one on each wing on one on the top, everybody in the universal will see you. Battery life is phenomenal and the USB-C charger is much better than these other cheap ones. Simply use. The remote is handy but unnecessary. If you’re worried about weight, I wouldn’t worry too much.

Everything Firehouse makes is amazing. My go to for RC lights to comply with part 107. I have bought dozens of these over the years. I’m excited about this new one with the short throw remote for fun. These are the brightest and lightest weight you can buy. They do eventually wear out. I think I got about 250-300 cycles before the battery starts to fail noticeably. Well worth every cent
