If you’ve been browsing our FireHouse Technologies strobe range and aren’t sure which one to pick, you’re not alone. There are a few different options, and the right choice depends on your drone, your flying style, and what you need the strobe to do. This guide walks you through each one so you can make the right call.
Why Use a Drone Strobe?
The most obvious reason is night flying — but strobes are useful well beyond that. A high-powered strobe makes your drone significantly easier to spot during daylight hours, through dawn and dusk, and in overcast or hazy conditions. That constant bright flash helps you maintain line of sight at all times, which is not just good practice — it’s a legal requirement for most drone pilots in Australia.
There are plenty of cheap strobes out there, but most are little more than small LED lights that add minimal real-world visibility. We stock FireHouse Technologies strobes specifically because they are purpose-built for drone safety and meet FAA requirements for night flying operations. They are the real deal.
All FireHouse strobes are rechargeable with an included cable, and offer multiple light sequences including strobe, flash, and constant-on modes.
The FireHouse Technologies Range
Micro Pro
The Micro Pro is our recommended choice for smaller drones. Bright, compact, and now available in a multicolour option — it delivers serious performance without adding unnecessary weight to your drone. The Firehouse Technologies MIcro Pro is best for DJI Mini series, DJI Neo series, and other compact drones
White version

- Output: 1100 Lumens
Multicolour version

- Output: 1000 Lumens

Arc V
The Arc V is FireHouse Technologies’ most well-known strobe, and for good reason. It has been the go-to choice for larger drone pilots for years, and remains the most popular option for those flying the Air series, Mavic 3 series, and other mid-to-large drones. Larger in size with more Cree LEDs, it delivers serious output.
- Output: 1000 Lumens

- Best for: DJI Air series, Mavic 3 series, Mavic 4 series and other larger drones
Arc V Pro with Remote Control
The Arc V Pro is designed with the professional pilot in mind — though it is a great choice for any pilot who wants maximum flexibility and control. It is a multicolour strobe with 32 mode variations across white, red, blue, and green light settings.
The standout feature is the included remote control, which lets you switch between light sequences while your drone is on the ground — no fumbling with the strobe itself before takeoff.
- Output: 1000 Lumens
- Colour options: White, Red, Blue, and Green — all in one strobe, 32 mode variations
- Includes: Remote control for easy mode switching
- Best for: DJI Air series, Mavic 3 series, Mavic 4 series and other larger drones
