Beacons

FlagCo Beacons are top-of-pole LED flagpole lights that illuminate the flag from above, so you can retire ground-mounted uplights. Eight models cover external halyard, internal halyard, and internal cam poles from 20 to 150 feet.

Why Top-of-Pole Lighting

Brighter coverage, lower energy, compliant after dark

A Beacon mounts at the top of the pole and lights the flag downward. Coverage is brighter and more even than ground uplights, energy use drops 60 to 80 percent, and almost no light spills upward. Add the integrated visor and the fixture qualifies as a DarkSky International approved luminaire.

The U.S. Flag Code (4 U.S.C. Section 6) allows 24-hour display only when the flag is properly lit. A Beacon keeps that display compliant.

Model Comparison

Compare All 8 FlagCo Beacon Models

Pole type, height, lumens, flag size, and power for every model.

Every Beacon is LED, built in Acworth, Georgia, and BABA compliant, with twin high-output heads on a spun-aluminum body in gold-anodized or satin finish. Most commercial jobs land on the External Beacon or the 6.5 inch Internal Halyard Beacon. Match the model to your pole type, height, and flag size below.

External Stationary poles do not support a Beacon. For full specs, photos, and compatibility on every model, see Beacon Resources.

Selection Guide

How to Choose Your Beacon

Four questions that point you to the right model.

Four variables decide which Beacon fits. Work them in order.

Step 1

Start with the pole type

External Halyard Revolving, Internal Winch, or Internal Cam Cleat. External Stationary poles cannot take a Beacon.

Step 2

Match height and top diameter

Height sets the lumen tier: 800, 1,100, or 1,900. Top diameter sets the mount size: 6.5, 8, or 10.5 inch on internal halyard poles.

Step 3

Pick the power source

120V AC on grid sites, 277V AC through a step-down transformer, 12V DC for low-voltage systems, or the 50W or 100W solar package off-grid.

Step 4

Add the accessories

The visor for DarkSky International approval, the Beacon Plus tier for higher lumens, and BABA documentation where the job calls for it.
