I have this solar light for my telescopic flag pole but the stud on the ball ornament is not long enough, what ornament will have a long enough stud ?

I can not answer your question directly but I might try an extension on the existing stud using nonferrousmetal or maybe plastic. You could possibly find a replacement ornament with a longer stud. Maybe youcould replace the stud if you can remove it from the ball. Patience and good luck.

YES! Are there neighbors nearby? Really, this is very bright. If the flag is ten feet away you might consider lower wattage (at least the next size down). You'll be pleased with the light color as it is a true white. That'll keep the colors bright! Good luck!

The bottom flag will get some light. A glow really. That's what the light looks like when it hits the ground. It is not a street light. Enough light to tell what the flag is tho. Since it mounts on the top, the thickness of the pole doesn't matter. Unscrew the gold ball, add the light and screw the ball back on. I had to remove a nut used as a spacer from the threaded ball.

I don't know what you mean by an uncommon flagpole but I would take the chance. I removed the ball, placed the light on top and then screwed the ball back on and it works great. If it doesn't work for you, all you have to do is return it for a refund. Amazon is great for this.

U ordered the 24-36" version and the actual light is only 22" long. It has arms that pull out to support it for larger applications. I don't know for sure but It might fit . It might end up resting directly on the top....

The flag pole needs to have a a threaded rod with ball on top of it. You simply unscrew the ball and then insert it through the hole in the light and tighten it back down. The diameter is about a 1/2. If you look at the picture you will see the light between the ball and the top of the pole.

I am using the Sunsetter telescoping pole with my solar flag light with no issues. I have my pole 3/4 extended due to where it is but I do not think the light would have any adverse affect on the pole fully extended.

Not sure what a "flag pole buddy" is. Please explain for a more specific answer. I have a 22' flag pole with a 3'X5' flag. It works fine for my application. Now to be honest if there is a strong wind and the flag is blown straight out, the light does not cover the entire flag; but, it does cover enough for anyone to see the flag. When person(s) turns the corner on my street the flag is clearly visible from approximately 75 yards away. As I said in my review the ambient light from the pole light up my two walkways leading to my front door very easily and quite nicely.

The solar flag pole light takes three AA rechargable batteries. It has a 1/2 inch hole to secure to the pole. I fly the flag 24 hrs a day, rain or shine. I suggest you clean the solar cells periodically. I think you will be very satisfied as I am.

This is bright at 300 or 500 watts. This is designed to be mounted to a metal electrical box via the conduit fixture attached which is anchored properly. You might be better off using a standard flag pole light fixture. My unit is still working fine in the NE environment.

Can loosen all the way out and wrap around pole. I did it alone - am 74 years old farm gal - didn't have a problem. Make sure everything is inserted through the slots. If you need a smaller "hose" clamp, I'd suggest you buy one. That way, you don't have to screw the thing for 15 minutes. I love my flag pole lamp. The light does such a beautiful job of displaying the flag after sundown.

I have seen a kit before but not sure I could find it again. There are may lawn ornaments that come in fish and birds that I keep thinking of mounting mine to. I am sure you can make one or attach it to a weather vane even. I just don't get enough wind to make it worth fiddling with as the solar panels keep my battery bank pretty much full.

I only have experience with installing this light on a Goalrilla in-ground basketball pole with a 5.5" square pole, which is one of the poles that it's designed for. After a quick internet search, I'm assuming that the Spalding Hercules hoop has a 3.5" round pole, so if that's the case, this light would not work with that hoop. As mentioned in the description of the light, it is designed to fit all Goalrilla units and other permanent goals with a 5"x 5" to 6"x 8" pole.

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!!!!!! :(

Sorry I can't help you with this one--just ended up tossing it because it quit working. Liked it at first but didn't last long. I order a lot of solar yard lights--some good, some not so good. Kind of a crap shoot. Again sorry.

We just bought one for my father's new flag pole. We had to leave it out 2 days to charge, then I took it into a dark room and had to press the on/off button several times before it suddenly lit! Once I had it on, I took it back out and put it on the pole (it went off in the sunlight as it should) and that night it worked perfectly and has ever since. I'm not sure if one of the pushes was for an extended time (several seconds) as one other answer mentioned. But once working, it is worth it!

The one I purchased was well over 6 feet tall. I purchased 3 of them and love them. The lighting is so different coming from many facets. I have others made by a different manufacturer and have had to replace the solar panel on all of them. Hope this doesn't happen with this one.
