Need help-solar flagpole lighting

[Craw3773]

I just put up a 30' flagpole, and now I need to light it.



I'm not a fan of the top down lights, and I'm planning to put lights around the bottom of the flagpole. Running electrical to this location is a last resort. Does anyone know of a solar option that will light a flag 30' in the air?

Everything I've seen just measures lumens. I need to find something that focuses the light enough to reach. And will last through the night

I think you are going to have a tough time finding that in solar. You have to draw enough energy to throw a beam that far and have enough spread to light them up. Small solar lights just aren’t there.

You may can rig up a remote battery box and solar panel and find some 12v powered lights and do it that way.

I know for a fact our (Sniper Hog Lights) Exterminator 3 feeder light would easily light it up even from much further away but it’s overkill for a flagpole light and more expensive then what you would need. Our exterminator 3 feeder light has 3 light heads on it and they are adjustable and focusable so you could aim 1 head at the flag and the other two heads you could aim at other areas to light up like a walkway. Also, unlike pretty much all the other solar lights out there, ours will still run all night even after several days in a row of cloudy weather.

I just met with a landscaper the other day who suggested I may want to light several 30’ pecan trees I have in my back yard. Since they are in a flood plain, I told him I did not want electricity down there. When he mentioned solar lights, I questioned whether or not one existed that could light a 30’ tree from the bottom up. “Oh, sure,” was his reply.

While I have no other information other than what I’ve just told you, what i can say is that I’m currently waiting on him to submit a design for consideration. Once I have this in hand, I can ask him for the specs of the lights he is suggesting and will pass them along to you if nothing else has been forthcoming before then.

Ordered one to do the same thing. I’ll post pics once installed.

I appreciate it. I'm interested to see what he has.

dumb question: the user has the option to have a regular, white light if needed? That is good to know!

When ordering the Feeder light, you have a choice of what color you want it to shine and the color choices are White, Red, Green and InfraRed. You can also choose additional colors if you want so you can change the color it shines. To change the color you simply unscrew the head of the light, then unscrew the LED module, screw in new LED module color and screw the head back on. No tools are needed to change the LED modules colors.

Ok, so if I buy this exterminator III light, I'll have 300 lumens full time correct? Does that automatically come on in the evening? Or will I use the remote each night to turn it on?

Gave up on solar lights for our flag pole. Went with a 12v light from amazon. It works great. It was these https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07M5QJM...lig_dp_it&th=1

Tagged. I need a good solution but my flagpole will only be 16’ tall.

I'm assuming you used a 12v battery? What did you use, and how are you charging it?
