I only use one white strobon cree on my mini 3 pro, I find with more than one, at a distance the lights just blend in to one. I have the strobe stuck to a usb c adaptor with dual lock sticky pads.
Look at my YouTube video to see the red and white working

I got the dual red white but should’ve got 1 red and 1 green as you said port and starboard
Here is my Mini 2 with 2 on the rear legs (red and green) and a white underneath
works for me
That looks good. Think I’ll get one red, one green, one white
Anyone know if it will still come in under 250g? (M3P)
Seems unlikely

I think I’ll go with the dual green & red Strobons now that I know they fit on the drone. When I was searching strobes I stumbled upon this
and ordered it. They flash red & blue so I’ll have a look how it fits underneath. They are only 4.6 grams and battery powered so they should last quite a long while.
With free shipping, that’s about a fiver so not a big loss if they don’t work well.
That’s a good idea so you don’t unnecessarily have to keep them on when you don’t need to or can easily just use the ones you want (e.g. white only during the day).
I’m another one with a red and a white. Rwd on rear left, white on rear right. I know red and green are supposedly used for orientation but white is more easily picked up, for me anyway. I also use @ash2020 clips. One set face down for high flights, one set facing back for low level flights. I now use the down facing 95% of flights
Thanks, so will have to only use them away from people/buildings

I’ve no memories of mine, that’s how good they were… 
The MK2 diffuser, it’s much better…

Even 1 strobe tips it over 250g, if you have a A2 CofC tho you can still fly as you are doing with as many on as you want, just not over uninvolved people.
I have no idea whether this is the rule yet, or has been, or will be, and I hope someone who knows will reply but I thought we’re supposed to have a Green light for night flying.
No it’s never been and still isn’t the case
The rules for night flying are the same as daylight hours
A light can help VLOS
As @SparkyFPV says - never been the case.
Some people incorrectly believe that to use coloured strobes is in harmony with aircraft navigation lights - but those red/green/white (port/starboard/tail) navigation lights are a mandatory solid light - not strobe.
The only use of colour, for us, is to assist with orientation - if incapable of keeping track of that.
But - as has been said - differentiating strobe colours at distance is almost impossible.
The eye isn’t good at colours (part of the cause of colour-blindness) with far fewer receptors for colour over a small part of the retina, whereas those for bright/dark detection exist in far greater density and all across the retina.
Most colours our brain perceives are created by the brain on a logic basis. “Yeah - that must be grass - so think green.” … and the like … or having just logged the colour correctly, and then “tracking” that colour as the object moves around our vision.
