We noticed Police drone operators conducting an operation in a quiet residential side street and lent them an evaluation set of our latest Knight Pod light so that they could place an illuminated cordon around their area of operation. 

As well as helping provide a visual warning around the landing zone, the Knight Pods also gave the operator a visual point of reference from the drone's perspective, as it can be difficult to distinguish one road from another in the hours of darkness when flying the drone manually back to base (so the officer told us).
