And there are now solar lamps that do emit
enough light to illuminate relatively large areas and/or throw light a
distance sufficient for a flag atop a pole.

Well, illuminating a flag atop a pole is pretty far down my priority
list. I might get to it one day, after I alphabetize my soup cans. But
when I was browsing HD recently I checked out the lumen specs on solar
lights and they were just a shade less bright than a single briquette of
glowing charcoal. I don't remember seeing any that were more than 10 or
12 lumens, which would be enough to read 24 point type by if you had
about 50 of them focused on one spot. Tell me more about these new ones
that you've found. Source? Manufacturer? Lumen spec?

He didn't say how tall the flagpole was, or its corresponding sized flag
either. *That could be a factor regardless the lumens stated. *All ones
for that purpose I've seen are using standard electrical power from a
meter loop of some sort. *They also have a focusing shroud around such a
light. *Said light is pointed at the top of the flagpole to cover all
directions the flag could furl. *Guess if you're wearing a low-light
detection device, you could see such a flag illuminated by a
solar-powered light.

Yoose need to think outside your pointy little heads. *Solar lighting has
come a long way since the last time yoose opened your moth eaten miser
purses. *Harnessing solar power is the future, get used to it.

Guess its a matter of perspective. *20 watts of light ain't much. *Guess you
may be able to detect a flag atop a flagpole without low-light visual aids
if you've been in the darkness for sometime. *Depends how high the flagpole
is too.

Took a quick look at the biggest spotlight at the above store that one
might think would be best suited to get a decent amount of light for a
flag on top of a pole. Look a the specs: 8 LEDS, 5 volts, plastic,
2lbs. If you're trying to make a case for solar, that sure ain't
the way to do it. Stating the light output, how long it will
maintain the light, etc would be a good start.
