Since the first known fabric flags date back to approximately 2,000 years ago, it can be argued that flagpoles also date that far back since a flag needs to be attached to a pole of some kind for it to fly freely. What we do know is that the first known flagpoles were made from wood. A woodworker would find a tree that was straight and prune the limbs and suckers from it to produce a pole. The pole was then inserted into the ground and a flag tied to 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.
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 Homo erectus finds the fire, most likely by accident when a lightning hit a tree or a bush. Human development was born from that accident. First portable light was a torch - a branch or a bundle of sticks tied together with one end doused in a flammable liquid and lit. Around 70,000 first primitive oil lamps appeared. Now imagine, all this, cannot live without further evolution. Today, flagpole and lighting are correlated to each other. For better illumination of our flags, we need correct lightings, whether it is solar or regular.
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.
Flagpoles of 60 ft. and 50 ft. sporting The Flagpole Warehouse’s perfected solar lighting solutions have also been reconfigured into very effective strobe lighting warning systems.
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.
