Acrotor Drone Strobe Lights
Score: 73/100
Startrc Drone Strobe Light
Score: 77/100Rankings
The STARTRC Drone Strobe Light is a lightweight, rechargeable anti-collision LED offering up to 3 km visibility and multiple color modes. Its limited 70 mAh battery and lack of third-party validation are notable trade-offs. Ideal for hobbyist pilots needing a compact night-visibility solution for DJI Mini and Mavic models.
Acrotor's 4-piece Drone Strobe Light kit delivers ultra-light 3 g LEDs with up to 3 km visibility and 270 min runtime. The adhesive mounting is quick but lacks waterproof protection, and the battery's modest 70 mAh capacity may limit prolonged use in high-intensity modes. Best suited for recreational pilots needing FAA-compliant night-flight lighting on small drones.

Consumers generally praise the Acrotor for its effortless installation, negligible weight impact, and bright 3 km strobe visibility, while recurring concerns focus on adhesive durability, mode-switching usability, and the absence of an IP rating for wet-weather use.
