Historical Line Of Flagpole Lightings

By Adam Spike


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.

Near the turn of the 20th century, steel flag poles became more popular, although they were often simply the recycled materials that had served other purposes. Ships masts were often repurposed as flag poles. Steel section poles used to house trolley lines were employed to make flag poles and eventually, sectional steel flag poles were manufactured for the purpose of flying flags. Wooden poles became obsolete. In the later 1920s, flag pole producers began constructing the long tapered poles so common today.

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?

Today, strong, stable flagpoles by The Flagpole Warehouse proved to be the best simple and affordable solutions for the U.S. Army and Navy to serve as lightning rods.

A beautiful sunny day allows everyone to enjoy the beauty of a flag, but now people can enjoy the majesty of a flag on a rainy or cloudy day or even in the evenings. High-quality flagpole lighting solved this problem. The Flag company inc rated outdoor flagpole lighting options for both commercial and residential customers in a variety of styles and voltages, including energy conserving solar options.

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.
