Strobon V2 Navigation Strobe Lights
Price range: £6.95 through £8.50 Inc. VAT
Strobon V2 is our best selling LED product. Ideal for creating navigational lighting and they are RC controllable.
We rated the Strobon V1s as the best strobe lights on the market and now they have got even better. V2 Strobons are smaller, lighter and now support 5 different working pattern, including ‘blink’, ‘heartbeat’, ‘rotating beacon’, ‘static’ and of course the legendary ‘strobe’. As with the V1s, if you use more than one Strobon on the same servo channel they will synchronise, meaning all strobes will flash at the same time like a real aircraft strobe system. You can also switch them on and off remotely. The Strobons are available in five colours white, red, green, blue and yellow. We also sell a covert Infrared (IR) 940nm version – Visible for Night Vision Goggles only. Completely invisible to the naked human eye. Some cameras can see in the short-range.
The Strobon V2 is available to buy unsoldered or pre-soldered with a 30CM servo lead. Please select as required.
Warning, these lights are seriously bright, we wouldn’t recommend looking directly at them close-up, they are blinding!
This product is compatible with latest FAA and CAA anti collision lights rules for drones. It’s visible from 3 miles away at night.
If you would prefer a zero wiring option, there is now the new Strobon Standalone Strobe LED which is battery powered.
5 different patterns:
- Strobe: Legendary Strobon v1 strobe effect. 3 fast flashes like xenon wing tip flash lights.
- Blink: Simulates belly or tail lights. Continuous ON/OFF.
- Heartbeat: Standard beacon light pattern, ramp up/ramp down/off.
- Rotating Beacon: Perfect simulation of rolling beacons. ramp up/flash/ramp down/off.
- Static: You can use it as landing headlights or static wing-tip lights.
2 different working modes:
The device features 2 different working modes, continuous or RC mode.
- RC Controlled Mode: Plug it on your RC receiver’s any channel for RC mode, then you can enable/disable it over selected servo channel.
Each Strobon counts the servo signals. So, you can plug more than one Strobon to the same RC channel to synchronise them. - Standalone Mode: Power it with directly from the battery (3.5-6v) it works on Standalone mode and works continuously.
Optional Accessory: If you are wanting to run multiple strobes and have them synchronised without using a radio receiver, we recommend getting the PWR 3A Strobon Navigation Light Synchroniser with a built-in power supply. The synchroniser generates a PWM signal to supply and synchronise the navigation lights while also providing a regulated 5V power supply to them.
Pattern Selection:
To set the pattern, all you need is a piece of wire or some tweezer to use to connect the two small pads of the strobon v2 board while it’s working (it will not change the pattern when it’s OFF). It will stop working when you connect these pins and jump to next pattern when you release the connection. The strobons have a memory, so the slected pattern is remembered even if you disconnect the power.
A polycarbonate lens is now available to mount the Strobon V2 LEDS.

Hi, no battery is included. We have strobes that are self-powered via a battery, please see Strobon Standalone.
How to light your multirotor: Lighting is obviously a necessity for nighttime flying, however it’s also really helpful when flying in daylight. Unlike helicopters, multicopters typically lack defining features to help with orientation; lighting is therefore a great solution. It makes most sense to employ a navigational lighting setup – Red on the Port (left) side, Green on the Starboard (right) side and a white strobe astern. When it comes to selecting your lights there are lots of options: LEDs, HPLEDs (High power LEDs), Strip lights and Strobes. Regular LEDs are inexpensive and come in an array of colours. While they consume little power, LEDs are best suited to nighttime applications as they are usually too dim to be seen in bright daylight. Alternatively the next generation of LEDS, namely HPLEDs and CREE LEDs are much brighter. They can be driven by much greater currents meaning that some can emit over 1000 lumens. At night they can be seen for miles, but more importantly they are visible in bright daylight. Since overheating is destructive, HPLEDs must be mounted on a heat sink to allow for heat dissipation. Both regular and HP LEDs are easy to wire up – however note that LEDs will only light up with correct electrical polarity and that they have a maximum current rating which must not be exceeded. To limit the amount of current through an LED a suitable resistor should be used. Strips lights are fun when it comes to night flights and are fantastic for orientation purposes. Some can be powered/controlled with an LED RGB Driver to cycle between different modes and colours. LEDs of all types can be turned into a strobe by using a suitable controller, strobes have the added bonus of low power consumption. The key to all lighting installations is to think about voltage and current requirements, a voltage regulator/UBEC will usually be necessary to help meet this requirements. Finally it is advisable to power lights from a separate battery to your flight battery.

I have 3 of these on my 2m E-Flite Opterra (1 red, 1 green and a white strobe) and what a difference they have made. Coupled with the Cree strobe underneath and the strobon regulator, its given me the confidence to fly my model in less than optimal light. I am buying more for some of my other models now
