Why the Internal Illuminator?
An internal winch flagpole and a FlagCo IH Beacon sold as one matched package: a concealed, locked halyard and a lit flag after dark, with no ground light to aim or maintain.
Light From the Top, Aimed at the Flag
The IH Beacon mounts at the top of the pole in place of the standard truck and ornament, and shines down on the flag. There is no ground spotlight to aim or reposition. The pole and beacon ship together as a matched package, and the beacon is installed on site when the pole goes up.
Concealed, Locked Halyard
A 1/8" stainless steel wire cable runs inside the pole, with no rope or cleat on the outside. It is reached only through an access door milled from the shaft, with a stainless steel hinge and cam lock. A strong fit for schools, government buildings and public sites where tampering or unauthorized lowering is a concern.
Mechanical Winch With Auto-Locking Brake
The flag is raised and lowered with a mechanical winch and a removable hand crank, working through the access door. The auto-locking brake holds the flag in place, and without the crank the flag cannot be lowered.
Fly the Flag Day and Night
The U.S. Flag Code (4 U.S.C. §6) says the flag may be displayed 24 hours a day when it is properly illuminated during the hours of darkness. Choose 120V AC for a hardwired connection, or 12V DC for solar, where the light turns on at dusk and off at dawn by itself. The Beacon is Intertek (ETL) listed.
Standard Specifications

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Illuminator work, and how is the beacon installed?
The Internal Illuminator is an internal winch flagpole and a FlagCo 6.5″ IH Beacon sold as one matched package: the IH Beacon on 20′ and 25′ poles, and the IH Beacon Plus on 30′ to 40′. The beacon mounts at the top of the pole in place of the standard truck and ornament and shines down on the flag. It ships with the pole and is installed on site when the pole goes up. It comes pre-wired, with a lead the length of the pole plus 10 feet.
Should I choose 120V AC or solar?
Can I fly the American flag at night with this pole?
What wind speed can these flagpoles withstand, and what size flag can I fly?
It depends on the height, butt diameter and wall thickness. For example, a 25′ pole with a 6″ butt and 0.188″ wall is rated 128 mph with a flag, and a 40′ pole with an 8″ butt and 0.250″ wall is rated 123 mph with a flag. The table above lists the rating with and without a flag, and the recommended flag size, for every configuration: 4′ x 6′ on 20′, 5′ x 8′ on 25′, 6′ x 10′ on 30′ and 35′, and 8′ x 12′ on 40′.

Do I need a foundation? What's included?
Yes. These poles are set in a concrete foundation. Every pole ships with a 16-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel ground sleeve with a grounding spike and a 1/4″ steel base plate with a 1/4″ steel support plate. Set depth is 10% of the exposed height: 2′ for a 20′ pole, 2.5′ for 25′, 3′ for 30′, 3.5′ for 35′ and 4′ for 40′. For 120V AC poles, plan the conduit entry and electrical rough-in before the foundation is poured. We send ground sleeve installation instructions that show where the conduit comes in.
How long does shipping take?
Beacons have a production lead time of 15 business days from order confirmation and deposit. After production, standard LTL freight typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. An expedited dedicated truck (1 to 3 days) and same-day local delivery within a 4-hour drive of Acworth, GA are also available.
