Early flagpoles were simply trees selected for their relative straightness that was cut down, stripped of bark and branches, and then replanted in the ground with a flag attached at the top.
At a time of year when the days are short and the hours of darkness are much longer, it seems that questions regarding the lighting of the U.S. Flag are asked more often. Does the U.S. Flag need to have a direct light shining on it during hours of darkness? On first analysis, the answer seems to be “Yesâ€.
And what about Flagpole Lightings? Light is one of the life’s necessities. We would not be on this planet if there was no light. When there is no natural light, we need artificial. And that’s how it is from the beginning. Some 400,000 BC Homo erectus finds the fire, most likely by accident when a lightning hit a tree or a bush. Human development was born from that accident. First portable light was a torch - a branch or a bundle of sticks tied together with one end doused in a flammable liquid and lit. Around 70,000 first primitive oil lamps appeared. Now imagine, all this, cannot live without further evolution. Today, flagpole and lighting are correlated to each other. For better illumination of our flags, we need correct lightings, whether it is solar or regular.
Would it not be better to demonstrate your patriotism by flying the flag…but be careful to not disrespect the flag by allowing it to be completely enveloped in darkness? In other words, if you do not have the resources to have the flag directly lit at night, fly the flag as long as there is sufficient ambient light to allow the flag to be seen at night.
Flagpoles of 60 ft. and 50 ft. sporting The Flagpole Warehouse’s perfected solar lighting solutions have also been reconfigured into very effective strobe lighting warning systems.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior flagpoles and their lightings being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported stuff is cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flagpole lightings made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flags and flagpole lightings offered a special edition of flagpole lightings to provide innovative solutions for individual projects.
