WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
1. AS A BUSINESS
The properly illuminated flagpole, as a distinctive feature, can help your business stand out from competitors. With a prominently displayed flagpole in front of your building or store, customers can easily spot it from a distance, knowing exactly where to go for their needs especially at nights. Given that most businesses do not know how to light up a flagpole wisely, yours will attract attention and provide additional free advertising exposure, making your company more memorable to potential customers.
2. FIXTURE TYPES
Knowing which type of fixtures suits your property matters. Choosing the right fixtures and knowing the flag’s size is key. Most people go for ground-mounted lights instead of sticking them on the flagpole. Directional lights, like spotlights and in-grade lights, are perfect because they have a narrow beam spread that really makes the flag pop. If you’ve got a grassy area, in-grade lights are awesome since they blend right into the ground while giving top-notch illumination.
3. POSITIONING
Another tip on positioning those in-ground fixtures: set them back about 1/3 to 1/2 the length of your flag. If you’re using floodlights, place them back by half to a full pole length. Aim those lights at the ball at the top of the pole to keep the flag shining bright. Using 2-3 fixtures is a good move to avoid the pole’s shadow and keep the flag lit up no matter how the wind blows.
For the best effect, consider fixtures with a low field-to-beam ratio to create a focused beam. Standard fixtures are usually reliable and bright enough, while solar lights can sometimes lack the oomph needed. Picking the right fixtures and placing them well ensures your flag always looks its best, day or night.

BESIDES SIMPLY THE FLAGPOLE...
1. WALL WASH LIGHTING
Ever thought about showing off your home’s cool architectural features? That’s where wall wash lighting comes in! This technique uses low-angle in-grade light fixtures for a soft, even glow on your walls, or more focused fixtures to create those eye-catching shadows and highlights. The type of lamp you pick depends on the vibe you’re going for.
Think about your wall height and the effect you want. If you’re using low-angle in-grade fixtures, go for a wide beam spread to avoid harsh shadows. And remember, too much light can be a buzzkill, taking attention away from your home’s awesome features.
2. SHRUB WASH LIGHTING AND TREE SHADOWING
Little touches sometimes can make a big difference.
By using narrow and soft lamps to wash trees, shrubs, or your lawn, you can create balance, composition, and some pretty cool symmetry. This type of lighting brings out the details and completes your landscape design. For example, when lighting a waterfall, aim a light directly at it for impact. To up the wow factor, add a secondary light with a soft flood to highlight the rocks or landscape around it, which makes the whole scene more visually appealing.
3. WASH WITH DOWN LIGHTING
Try wash with down lighting: this technique involves mounting concealed fixtures in mature trees to mimic the soft glow of moonlight. It’s often overlooked, but it can give your space a sophisticated, ambient feel.
When done right, wash with down lighting adds depth and mystery to your landscape. Use it to highlight ground covers, flagstone pathways, and water features. It’s all about creating that perfect, dreamy atmosphere.
