Historical Line Of Flagpole Lightings

By Mark Erkot


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.

As for lightings, to the best of our archaeological knowledge, the first attempt at man-made lighting occurred about 70,000 years ago. The first lamp was invented made of a shell, hollowed-out rock, or other similar non-flammable object which was filled with a combustible material (probably dried grass or wood), sprinkled with animal fat (the original lighter fluid) and ignited. Early and portable light sources of the ancient time were made from the materials that were readily available to the men of that age. Find here more information about lightning in the bygone times.

Would it not be better to demonstrate your patriotism by flying the flag, but be careful to not disrespect the flag by allowing it to be completely enveloped in darkness? In other words, if you do not have the resources to have the flag directly lit at night, fly the flag as long as there is sufficient ambient light to allow the flag to be seen at night.

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.

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?

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.
