Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) March 31, 2016
The Flag Company, Inc., and its flagpolewarehouse.com subsidiary today announced its patented series of Flagpole Beacons have been accepted by the International Dark Sky Association, (IDA) as official Dark Sky Friendly Devices. Timed to coincide as a key component in International Dark Sky Week festivities April 4 – April 10, 2016, Flagpole Beacons will play an integral part in Earth and Astronomy Day celebrations worldwide.
“We are proud to be recognized by such a prestigious authority on light pollution as IDA,” said Mike Lawrence, Vice President of The Flag Company. “When it comes to lighting the future, our philosophy as a company from the beginning has been one of dedication and sensitivity to environmental issues. We’ve anticipated the future with our Flagpole Beacons. They are the result of many years’ input from forward-thinking lighting designers, technical committees, consumers and the IDA itself about controlling light pollution. You could say the tenets of the IDA are in our DNA.”
The Dark Sky-Friendly line of Flagpole Beacons available at https://www.flagpolewarehouse.com/products/Dark_Sky_Products consist of three products at a variety of price-points: The Dark Sky External Halyard Beacon; The Dark Sky Internal Halyard CAM System Beacon as well as the Dark Sky Internal Halyard Beacon with Dual Lights. According to Mr. Lawrence, “The proprietary Flagpole Beacon lighting technique is absolutely surgical. Not only are these beacons the most environmentally correct and brightest way to light flags during night hours, they’re the only way to illuminate them without ambient light bleeding on to adjoining property or into the night sky.”
A growing body of research suggests that the loss of the natural nighttime environment is causing serious harm to human health and the environment. As an official recipient of the Dark Sky Seal of Approval, The Flag Company, Inc. and flagpolewarehouse.com take their place among the responsible ranks of corporate America who recognize the possible repercussions of over-lighting our planet, and are taking appropriate measures to circumvent this eventuality. Concludes Mr. Lawrence, “We’re doing our part so consumers and businesses can do theirs.”
