Might have helped the CRJ see the helicopter (except a military helicopter probably won't be illuminated anyway).

It seems like another poor-quality band-aid on top of the fundamental problem of trusting see-and-avoid and voice comms.
The video shows the lights of the helicopter quite clearly, approaching the CRJ from about 2 o'clock to the CRJ.
