Excellent product but it doesn’t work for swivel-type flag poles.
This product would be perfect for my swiveling flag pole except for one problem caused by every-day wind. Since the solar assembly lacks a counter-weight on the bottom, the entire unit eventually ends up facing the deck, not the sky. Tightening up the small metal thumb screw on the metal flagpole holder with pliers doesn’t hold the pole. Eventually, the wind forces cause the swivel pole that contains the solar light assembly to gradually rotate downward until it’s pointed at the deck.
I can think of two remedies to this problem. The first is to drive a metal cross piece (e.g. a nail) through the flagpole holder and the flagpole base. This would prevent the swivel pole from rotating. However, I fear this would eventually result in a broken base due to wind forces.
The second thought is for the solar light manufacturer to provide a counter weight on the assembly opposite the existing solar unit. This weight should exceed the weight of the solar unit thereby causing it to always face the sky, not the deck.
