Flag pole light suggestions?

[Copperclad]

Hi all,
We have a customer wanting to illuminate his flag at his residence. The flag is on a pole, apx 15' off the ground. The fixture will be mounted on the facia of the house, directed upward. My concern is using a basic flood holder and aiming it up into the elements never seems to hold up very well here in florida. I was curious if any of you guys have come across a good quality outdoor flood fixture that may be suitable for this application? I have looked at some HPS,and M/H but they are bit bulky looking.
Any ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Ted F.

Have you considered an LED product?

That is a code violtion anyway.

The instructions with those specifically say not to aim them up.

And yes I know people do all the time.

I have installed these and I like them

They can be mounted face up and you can get mounting brackets that allow aiming

You can also look at landscape lighting fixtures which typically have a weatherproof flat plate lens over the bulb and socket.

If you mount it on the facia, it's only going to illuminate from the house side and won't look very nice from the street. He will have a much better install if you can mount it on the ground at the base of the pole.

Duly Noted!
I agree, a better install. The customer is concerned about the grounds keepers trashing the fixture weekly, but you just gave a great idea to prevent that.
Thanks for yalls help..again~ much appreciated!
