[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2788728, member: 5412"] [url]http://www.usflag.org/flagetiquette.html[/url] I'd go with solar lighting to save the electrician fees. Like anything else money talks, and everything else walks when considering reliability. Lighting from the bottom means you don't have to get to the top of the pole for maintenance unless its built to tip over. We live on a hill top and have had problems in the past with Martin Houses on aluminum poles getting bent in high winds. Reason is, they use the cheapest grade of aluminum available. Better grades/thicker of aluminum would stop that. 5051 grade aluminum is really soft. 6062 is aircraft grade. How tall are we talking, and how big of a flag? That might be the determining issue.
