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€.
Most people would agree that the preferred approach for flying the U.S. Flag at night would be to have a spotlight directly and brightly lighting it. However, if one does not have the resources to undertake such lighting (and cannot be assured of being able to lower the flag at sunset), should that person not fly the flag?
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.
Today, strong, stable flagpoles and their lightings by The Flagpole Warehouse proved to be the best simple and affordable solutions. 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.
