FoxFury is excited to announce a rechargeable Quick Swap® Power Pack with Strobe for the Rugo™ Drone & Camera Light. This Power Pack is most useful for drone (UAV or sUAS) night operations as it fulfills the FAA FAR 107.29 requirements for dusk, dawn, and night flights.

The Rugo™ is a rugged go-anywhere lighting tool that is primarily used for drones, but can also be used as a camera or accent light in photography and videography as well as a handheld search light. The FAA FAR 107.29 requirement states that drones flown at night must have anti-collision lighting visible from at least three statute miles away and be able to strobe at a frequency of 40 - 100 times per minute.

Power Pack And Function

The new Quick Swap® Power Pack with Strobe strobes at a frequency of 90 times per minute and can be seen from the required distance. The other modes on the Power Pack (low, medium, and high) can be used as a constant light source for inspection, search, and general illumination.

Similar to other FoxFury products, the new Power Pack is extremely durable

Similar to other FoxFury products, the new Power Pack is extremely durable. It is fire and impact resistant and is waterproof up to 60 ft. For current users of the Rugo™, this Power Pack can be swapped out with the standard Power Pack and function with the existing light head. FoxFury is also excited to announce three new lighting bundles that fit a variety of drones. Each bundle includes two Rugo™ lights, a set of drone mounts, and a Quick Swap® Power Pack with Strobe.

Anti-Collision Lighting

They are ideal for the drone pilot who wants to see and be seen as the  Rugo™ lights can be used for search, inspection, and general illumination, while the Power Pack with Strobe can be used as anti-collision lighting. Bundles are available for the following drones: DJI Inspire 1, DJI Inspire 2, DJI Matrice M100, DJI Matrice M200, DJI Matrice M210, DJI Matrice M600, DJI Matrice 600 Pro, DJI Phantom 4, DJI Phantom 4 Pro, Yuneec Typhoon H, Yuneec H520, and any drone with motor arms or landing gear with at least a 15 mm diameter.
