The U.S. Code states that: "It is the universal custom to display the flag only from sunrise to sunset on buildings and on stationary flag staffs in the open. However, when a patriotic effect is desired, the flag may be displayed twenty-four hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness." Solar Illuminations is pleased and proud to offer the world's first, 'true' flag pole lighting kit. Designed by Solar Illuminations and only available from Solar Illuminations. This, heavy duty, commercial grade, weatherproof, multi-purpose solar light is made exclusively by Solar Illuminations and has 45 super bright LED light bulbs which provide a light output of 270 Lumens (equal to about 60-75 watts). Fully automatic activation (on at dusk and off at dawn). For wall mounting or ground mounting and can also be attached using our optional ground spike kit (product code FL01) or directly fixed to a round post or round pole using our optional clamp attachment kit (product code FL12). The solar panel can also be attached to a round post or round pole using our optional clamp attachment kit (product code FL13). The fact that this light fixture can attach directly to a flag pole is the first such design in the world to allow this and it was designed by Solar Illuminations. The solar panel can be situated next to the light fixture or at a distance of up to several feet away. The solar panel incorporates a support bracket to allow installation to a solid vertical or horizontal surface. The rechargeable battery is included. It is contained inside the fixture and only needs replacing every year or two. This solar powered fixture is ideal for lighting up flag poles so there is no longer the need to lower your flag at dusk any more. Perfect for use where electricity is unavailable or too expensive or difficult to install. Quick and easy permanent or temporary installation. The fixture incorporates a main light body consisting of 45 super bright LED bulbs (made by Cree®) and angle/tilt adjustment with the attached support bracket. The LED's typically last for 22 years so there are no bulb changes. This solar light fixture may light up a flag pole up to 25' to 30' high. Naturally, the darker the location the more effective and noticeable the illumination will be. May be used on a taller flag pole to provide illumination to the extent of what a 60-75 watt light fixture can provide. It can be clamped onto the flag pole using our optional clamp attachment kits and therefore enables the fixture to be positioned further up the flag pole closer to the flag, if necessary. Naturally there is a limitation with the maximum intensity any solar powered (battery operated) light fixture can provide. This fixture is offered with a choice of solar panels. The wattage of the solar panel does not affect the illumination brightness It is the solar panel that converts sunshine into electricity to recharge the battery each day. We therefore recommend that the 6 Watt solar panel should only be used in locations that generally receive a good level of year-round sunshine. The 6 Watt solar panel should only be used in the most Southern US states and also in South America, Southern Europe, Africa, Australasia and Southern Asia. The 7 Watt should be used in geographic locations where there is less annual sunshine than average. The 10 Watt solar panel should be used where there is limited sunshine. For the most demanding applications, where the maximum performance is required from this fixture, the 10 Watt solar panel is recommended regardless of geographic location. The innovative fixture also incorporates a switch for manual on/off setting and a photocell (light sensor) which automatically activates the light when it becomes dark and deactivatees the light during the day time. If you need to use this fixture with ground spikes - please add our ground spike kit (product code FL01) to your shopping cart. If you need to attach this fixture directly to your flag pole - please add our clamp attachment kit (product code FL12) to your shopping cart. If you need to attach the solar panel directly to your flag pole - please add our clamp attachment kit (product code FL13). Color of fixture is black. Color of light output is white.

Lower wattage solar panels can also be used in locations where there is less sunshine when maximum illumination time is not necessary or important.
Higher wattage solar panels can be used in locations where there is less sunshine.
Higher wattage solar panels can also be used in sunny locations where the maximum illumination time and efficiency is required or for the most demanding applications.
The solar panel wattage does not affect the illumination output but can affect the illumination time.
High quality, aluminum framed, solar panel is fitted with approximately 9' of cable/cord.
Black colored finish of floodlight fixture.
Easy to install almost anywhere.
Floodlight bracket has 3 holes to allow fixing to any solid surface using screws or bolts (not included).
May provide flag pole illumination up to approx. 25'-30' high, or maybe higher, subject to the extent of what a 60-75 watt light fixture can provide and subject to that amount of light being acceptable.
May be wall mounted or ground mounted. Use a concrete paver for ground mounting if no surface exists.
Can clamp directly to the flag pole, possibly at any height.
For uplighting from the ground for flag pole lighting, we recommend using our ground spike kit (not supplied).
A ground spike kit is available as an optional extra (product code FL01).
For attaching this fixture directly to a round post, round pole or flag pole we recommend using our clamp attachment kit (product code FL12).
A solar panel clamp attachment kit is available as an optional extra and enables the solar panel to be fixed to a round post, round pole or flag pole (product code FL13).
Operates up to 12 hours, or more, during the hours of darkness, in ideal conditions, although we are unable to guarantee an specific illumination duration.
Typically works from dusk to dawn in optimum conditions.
Typically about 4-5 hours of sunshine daily is required to enable full charge.
Fixture dimensions (main floodlight body) approx. 7"x6"x6" (LxWxH).
6 Watt solar panel dimensions approx. 14x10.5"x"x3/4" (LxWxD).

The solar panel has a fold-out 'U shaped' steel support bracket which folds out from the aluminum frame of the solar panel and therefore is approx. 14" long and approx. 1/4" wide and when fully folded out it will protrude approx. 4".
The fold-out solar panel bracket can be drilled to allow it to be fixed to a vertical or horizontal surface and can be positioned so that the correct tilt angle to the sky can be set.
Time length of night time illumination is estimated and subject to various factors including (but not limited to) geographic location, seasons, temperature, weather conditions & location of product etc.
Shorter illumination time due to one or more of the above factors does not define the fixture as being defective or define the fixture as being advertised incorrectly.
We advertise and supply our solar lights to customers all over the world are therefore, naturally, we are unable to guarantee the nightly illumination time as it can vary and any time stated is quoted as 'up to' x amount hours.
Minor errors & omissions must be accepted.
Although unlikely, we reserve the right to supply this product with any minor alterations or minor changes to the specifications (shown above by text description or by photographs) due to different supplies or product batches received, incorporating such product changes made by the manufacturer, without further notice.
A higher wattage solar panel is always recommended over a lower wattage as it will be more efficient at recharging the battery and therefore helping to increase the illumination time.
Descriptions, specifications and photographs are updated regularly but may not be current when minor changes to a product have only recently been made.
All solar lights must be used in a completely dark location at night time otherwise they may not illuminate. Nearby strong lighting sources or ambient lighting may affect the operation of a solar light. This does not define the fixture as being defective or 'not as described'.
Naturally, the illumination duration (light-up time) of most solar lights can reduce during winter months when the weather is poor and the days are shorter. During this time insolation hours decrease accordingly. This does not define the fixture as being defective or 'not as described'.
