It is tradition that American Flags flying at night should be lighted.
Flag pole lighting kits are similar to Sign Lighting systems with a twist. The light fixtures are designed as "spot lights" of a narrow high intensity beam to light your flag at the distance of your flag pole height.
Solar Panels are used to charge a battery. Recommended that this battery is a sealed and maintenance free type. This keeps the system essential solid state and reliable. As with all battery powered systems that are used outdoors, it is important to have the proper enclosure to protect your battery and controller.
Lighting flag poles is tricky in that the wind can come from any direction and make the flag stand out. Its challenging to align your lights to illuminate the flag as its flying.
Size your flag lighting system by size of flag (total area) and the height of your flag pole. LED light fixtures have developed that are capable of the intense narrow beams required to illuminate an area 20-70 feet in the air.
