Default Strobe lights

I,m thinking of installing strobe lights to help visibility when far out with my Boomerang.
It,s mostly white and is hard to see when I get it out too far.
Anyone know of an led/strobe that is visible at long distances?
Some leds can't be seen much past the end of the runway.

Uni-Lights from Dreamworks are bright as all get out

Edit: You didn't like my answer in the other thread you started? I thought this sounded familiar. Please only start one thread per question/issue.

FWIW, I had a set of these installed in my Turbinator
Yes, in the workshop it's bright enough to hurt your eyes if you're not careful.
Very well made lights.

There are a few YT videos showing these in a Boomer as well IIRC

I have to ask, where do you find the wireless strobes? All searches I have done come back for large vehicles.
