[TVARC] flagpole damage

[Rich Erlichman]

I never liked the light on top. It just doesn’t light up enough. Possibly because it is too close to the flag and (my opinion) does not do it justice. I found on Amazon some amazing lights that you ground mount around the base of the flagpole pointed up and it makes the flag look great at night.
