flag pole light

[ldj]

I have bought 3 flag pole lights all solar and none will stay on all night. Now I want a 110v with dusk to dawn light. Any suggestions?

Can you use the timer from a mercury light for the timer on you flagpole light.

There are now LED spotlights with
built-in dusk to dawn sensor. They pull
very little wattage.

How about do it the old school way and have a little respect
for the flag. Take it down at night and during bad weather.

"Stand alone" photo-electric eyes are available. Can be either hard wired in or wired into an outlet. I looked at one just yesterday in the electrical and lighting section of our local, small town department store. Also check Amazon.

IMHO, a US Flag illuminated at night really stands out against a dark background and is a thing of beauty!

It still represents our country at night and during inclement weather!

I installed one of these, added a photo cell, mounted on the wall.

It's adjustable, weather proof in all positions except base up.

Also available as a single.

Only if it is an all weather flag.

That is your opinion. Great thing about this country is you are allowed to have a different opinion than me.

I feel making a rule to allow a all weather flag up 24/7 was just made to keep lazy people from breaking the law. And that is my opinion.

Lots of rules have changed over the years. Even in the church I was raised in has changed some rules because so many didnt follow the original rules or complained about them.
