Americans Flagpole Lightings

By Albert Frank


The usage of flags and flagpoles spread from India and China, where they were almost certainly invented, to neighboring Burma, Siam, and southeastern Asia. The Persians used Derafsh Kaviani as the flag, at the time of Achaemenian dynasty at 550-330 B.C.

And what about Flagpole Lightings? Light is one of the life’s necessities. We would not be on this planet if there was no light. When there is no natural light, we need artificial. And that’s how it is from the beginning. Some 400,000 BC humanity finds the fire, most likely by accident when a lightning hit a tree or a bush. Human development was born from that accident.

In the 19th century, humanity already had artificial lightning but it had its flaws, for simple storage and transport of fuels to more serious dangers of fire, and explosions. Every safe light source in the history had some sort of protection that protected the source from the outer world and the outer world from the source.

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 flagstaffs 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."

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?

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.
