Has anyone used this light with the Sunsetter flag pole. Can you still use the ornamental top to the flag pole with this light?

Yes bolt is not long enough on a sun setter flag pole with top ball. Any alternatives?
816206
Sunsetter no, I haven't used. As long as the bolt is long enough to pass through the light it will work. I have an eagle and a ball. Both work as the base bolt is about 2" long. Plenty of room for the light and it is secure.

The flag pole we used was one bought from Lowe's (20 ft) and yes, we used the gold ball at the top.

I have a retractable flag pole and this installed easily. I was able to remove the gold ball topper, placed the light on the ball rod and screwed the ball ornament back in place and had just enough room to tighten in place.

I'm using the gold ball on top of the flag pole. The ball is attached to a ½" bolt, so anything with a ½" bolt thread would work.

NOT REALLY.You can NOT add a light without a major pain in the ass. The threads on the flag pole may be 1/2" in diameter, BUT, they are also COARSE pitch (eg, 10 threads per inch) whereas all the other balls you might buy with extended shafts are FINE pitch (eg, 12 threads per inch). So for all intents and purposes, the thread socket atop this flagpole is unique to this company! GRRR!!!!!! :(

Have them on two flags. Come on at dark and last thru dawn most of time. Depends on how much sun they get during day I had to buy 5 and return 3 to get two that worked out of box.

I bought this light to illuminate my American flag on the pole in the front yard. It gives a very bright light, considering it is only a 75 watt but even though it does a great job of making the flag look beautiful at night, the light does spill over onto the house somewhat. It is not a tight spot, yet I would not consider it a flood. It lights the flag and part of the upper house. I have it aimed at the flag from a short side distance so that could make a difference. There is no electricity available right at the flags base so had to do it this way. The bulbs are readily available in Home Depot for a little over $5.00 It would cover a 10' width easily, and a little more. Very bright.

The light is made to mount around a circular pole it has hose clamps to tighten around a piece of pipe. You could use smaller hose clamps to tighten it around something with not as big a diameter as a flag pole. Hope this helps. You

This isn't a spot light, but my large palm tree is well lit by the light. But the trunk gets a lot of light.It may end up lighting up your pole and not so much the flag.Hmmm..........With Amazons good return policy, it may be worth a try.

Sure-It's very bright & adjustable. Just never leave it on the pole. It will fail if it even gets damp!

The light will clamp to a rounded metal pole BUT I you should not use it to support the hood or get it close to any fabric as it (and the metal part around the bulb) gets very hot and 'could' burn it. I can't touch it when it is on and it is even hot near the switch to turn it off.

I do not know the brand name of the pole but it is only a 16 foot pole and we have had no problems with the solar light on top of it and we get plenty of wind where we live. We take the flag in when it is real windy, like today, and drop the pole down and all is fine.

I mounted a kichler fixture (well, the electrician did it). The top of the pole is open and the fixture screws on. No problems.

This will work with or without the prism type flag poles. Works better and quicker with the prism.

Theres a long bolt attached to the ball at top of flag pole. The light has a hole the size of the bolt. Slides right through. Very easy do do. The pole is a standard flag pole size. 2 1/2 inches ? But that dont make a difference in installing light.

We replaced 12V - 25W incandescent Landscape WELL Lights which flooded light onto the house and various ornamental trees. The Paradise 3W duplicates that light. These lights will not spot light a flag on a pole. We placed the lights 12" from the house and they nicely reproduce the well light effect we had on the house. My suggestion is to purchase one and see if you like it or contact the amazon vendor for information on your application.

I am using a 20 ft telescopic pole but it is not Sunsetter. I have not had an issue with the light even during periods of strong wind. The only caution to users of this type of light is that to be sure you have enough shaft length on the ball at the top. It is recommended that there be a minimum of 1.5" but I found that wasn't enough. To compensate I removed the ferrule on the ball.

I will give it my best. We have a tapered pole with a ball on top. All we had to do is screw the ball off, put the light down over the pole and screw the ball back on. Works great but not sure I have conclusively answered your question.

I have my Sunsetter fully extended and with both the gold bulb and eagle ornament on top. Never made an adjustment in the bolt on top nor did a need a longer one. Everything fit perfectly and looks great.

I had an existing pole for an AC light that had the cable severed. I removed the light on top and replaced it with the top of the solar light. I did not use the pole that came with this light. Sorry!
