You never mentioned what kind of airplane you are using i.e. small electric that will be flown relatively close in or glow powered even a trainer which will get much further out. The lighting systems for the small electric may not be suitable for larger faster airplanes.

Here are some points you may want to consider:

1. flying at dusk especially with larger faster airplanes is more difficult that flying when its totally dark. I always wait through dusk untill its totally dark.

2. Strobe lites (like you mentioned in your first post) landing lites or any form of winking blinking lites provokes spacial disorientation and that is the last thing you want to happen.

3. Many lite systems are intended for scale airplanes to garner extra points from scale judges or the wow factor from onlookers and woefully inadaquate for actual nite flight.

4. Since this is posted in the beginners forum I must state that this is something I would not recomend to a fresh beginner.
