Yep, and here's some details that some people may be interested in regarding
that:

See bottom of the page. I don't like their method of moving the light way
up the flagpole. To start out with, its ugly in appearance. Part of the
illumination is blocked by the flagpole itself. The usual method consists
of surface/ground mounted units to illuminate all areas the flag could
possibly furl. Double that distance and mount on the ground, you have 1/4
the illumination for the Liberty Light on the flag. You'll need more than
one Liberty Light for a stand-alone flag pole. The building side mounted
flagpole, one is enough.
They throw in the Lux factor for an idea of its illumination. Look he

I'm all for green. We need to use what's available including the sun. What
we get when we use a solar-powered product needs more research by the
consumer before a purchase. We also need uniformity of illumination
specifications, along with stating that as a comparison of what we know.
Like illumination compared to a certain wattage standard incandescent light
bulb when citing illumination of an LED.
