The present disclosure relates to the field of solar powered lighting devices, in particular to a solar powered flag light and a solar powered light.
It has always been a sign of patriotism to display the flag at one's home or place of business. The desire to display the flag has been heightened in recent years. Proper flag etiquette requires that an American flag be displayed only during daylight hours unless the flag is properly illuminated after dark. In other words, the flag must be hoisted up a flag pole at dawn and retrieved at dusk unless the flag is properly illuminated.
Traditionally, A/C electrically powered lights are mounted at the base of a flag pole or even on the pole and directed upwardly toward the flag. Although assumably effective for their intended purposes, the existing lighting devices for illuminating a flag include installation of electrical wiring to or adjacent to a flag pole and mounting upward directional lighting from a ground surface. Alternatively, battery powered lights mounted to the finial of the flag pole may be installed. In addition, solar powered lights mounted atop a flag pole have been proposed in order to avoid the ongoing cost of electric lighting.
However, how to fix a solar powered light stably on a flag or a pole is an important subject.
