Anyone tried these button lights? I am considering them for when I want to fly into abandoned buildings to prevent VPS problems due to low light. I would attach them to the bottom of battery.

They are CAN$8 on Amazon for 3 but are available in packages that have more. Although they are disposable, they seem like they would suit the purpose. Don't really like that they are disposable but they are the only ones I have found that might be suitable.

Haven’t ordered yet (been too busy) but will tonight. Most of the reviews on Amazon are positive.

Got my button lights today but won’t get a chance to test them until tomorrow.

Tried the button light on my NEO and flew inside my house. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to make much of a difference. The NEO still said that the 'Lighting environment was too dark' even though the button light was on. The NEO was in atti mode for much of the flight and was not holding its position. It kept drifting around a lot.

I also tried the button light on my Tello and it also indicated that the light was not sufficient and behaved as it usually does in the house.

So, it seems like the button lights will not work in situations that I would like them too - flying into abandoned buildings. Oh well, they weren't expensive and I can use them in other places.

That's too bad. Thought they might give you enough light.

Yah, it was disappointing. I was surprised because they are bright. I think if it was a more focused beam it might work. I might try moving the light even closer to the VPS sensors and see if that helps but I don’t think it will as it was already close.

The topic of strobes was brought up on another Forum and how to attach them.

I use the Aerial-Pixel mounts for my ARC V strobes for the MA2 and found they have strobe, camera, and RID mounts for the NEO.

The strobe can have a steady ON position that is quite bright but not sure how long the battery lasts till I test.

Just thought I'd pass the information along if interested.

Thanks for the info. I’ll look into them.
