Pretty cool. How do you avoid all the moths that suddenly swarm the Phantom?
 
I like the install, well done. Just concerned it could cause lens flare due to the proximity to the camera? I've installed Flytron standalones which are outstanding, but I also bought similar USB rechargeable bike lamps that I'm going to try too, so I'll wait for feedback from your test..
 
Lens hood might be useful with this
 
Probly not this far:

The question is how much area and how far can that light illuminate at night when the Phantom is up in the air?
The light was intended for a bike's immediate radius so it's quite useless above and beyond 3+ meters. With that said, a very low 2+ meter hover makes it a very fun fpv experience at night. I took mine to an empty public park and did some laps around the track.

Ultimately I installed the light so i can maintain line of sight when I'm flying long distance. At certain distance, red and green blends with the sky.
