Flag Pole Lights & Solar Flag Lighting
Flag pole lights are specialized outdoor lighting fixtures designed to illuminate flags during the night, ensuring they remain visible and respected symbols of patriotism. According to the U.S. Flag Code, if the American flag is displayed 24 hours a day, it "must be properly illuminated during the hours of darkness." Whether you are lighting a residential pole in your front yard or a 40-foot commercial display, our collection of flag lighting solutions offers the brightness and reliability needed to keep your flag shining proudly.
Types of Flag Pole Lights
There are two primary ways to illuminate a flag, each with distinct advantages.
- Solar Flag Pole Toppers (Downlights): These popular solar flag pole light fixtures sit directly on top of the pole, underneath the gold ball ornament. They feature a ring of LEDs that shine downwards (a flagpole downlight), bathing the flag in a cone of light. They are incredibly easy to install, requiring no wiring, and are perfect for residential poles (typically 15-25 feet).
- Ground-Mounted Spotlights (Uplights): For taller poles or a more dramatic effect, a flag spotlight is installed at the base of the pole and aimed upward. These can be hardwired for maximum brightness or solar-powered for convenience. This method is preferred for commercial displays.
Benefits of Solar Flag Pole Lights
Solar technology is the standard for residential flag lighting because it solves the biggest challenge: getting power to the pole without digging trenches.
- Wire-Free Installation: A solar flag pole light harnesses energy from the sun during the day and automatically turns on at night.
- Dusk to Dawn Operation: Integrated sensors ensure the light stays active all night long, meeting the code requirement for continuous illumination without manual operation.
Commercial Flag Lighting
For businesses, schools, and government buildings with taller poles (25 feet and up), a more powerful solution is often required. High-output LED flag spotlight fixtures (often bullet floods) are used to push light further up the pole. These provide the intense, focused beam needed to illuminate large flags flying at significant heights.
