That Valley Forge flag just arrived. It looks MUCH tougher than my old flag, thanks!
Now I have to find a new *expletive deleted*ing flag light. I have just gone through my second solar light that screws into the top of the pole. Both broke after big wind events. The one last year, I at least saw some plastic pieces at the foot of the pole to clue me in. This last one was working fine, then the wind hit, and now it just isn't coming on. Might be something else, but wind is likely more than coincidental.
These stupid lights seem to all be cheaply made. The one I bought last year was twice as much as the one I bought two years ago, with no difference in longevity. I might look at one of these solar lights that clamps to pole and points up, or if I can find something strong enough that's solar, that I can just stick in the ground and point up.
