A Buyer Commented That The Pole and Light Combo Suggested Here Are Not Compatible. Is this true?

What I found was that the bolt coming out of the gold ball is not long enough to thru the light and attach to the pulley holder. Luckly I had an old one that worked.

TRUE!You can NOT add a light without a major pain in the ass. The threads on the flag pole may be 1/2" in diameter, BUT, they are also COARSE pitch (eg, 10 threads per inch) whereas all the other balls you might buy with extended shafts are FINE pitch (eg, 12 threads per inch). So for all intents and purposes, the thread socket atop this flagpole is unique to this company! GRRR!!!!!! :(

I'm not sure if this was answered yet and I apologize for the delay but the answer is yes. The configuration you describe is a single pole Installation with just 2 wires. I wish I knew how to upload a picture because I found the packaging that clearly shows this configuration. There are even two different ways to hook it when you only have 2 wires as well. Hope this helps.Edit: I posted a picture on the product images that shows the 2 different configurations.

No, this fixture is meant to be direct wired. That could also be a problem if these lights are wired in a series. The knock-outs are too small to fit 2 wires (one in and one out to the next light.

Yes. But I've also been informed that these are not legit PBL Lighting stands. I've had no problems with them though and have used them with Einsteins and AlienBees

make sure you have a light fixture that fits over the round top of the post. Wire to the existing wire in you're old post and fasten with 3 small stainless screws, you do not have to tighten to much. Thats it!!!

From the position of mine,which is four inches above,it lights mine just fine. I believe if you position you're light twelve inches above,it will help a lot because of the cone shaped beam of light. Please respond to Stevenmathers32@gmail.com if it works for you! If you would like,I can tell you how I constructed mine with minimal cost and size of pole I think you would need for two flags.

The four lights on the track are fixed in place and are not compatible with any movable light system. Sorry it took so long to answer.

I just got a second one of these for my house yesterday and the back of the package says, "This lamp is not compatible with photo controls, occupancy sensors, or timing devices." So while others are reporting that it will work with their setups, it appears Philips does not recommend it for this use (dusk to dawn fixture).

Hello! You would need to get a down rod coupler from the same manufacturer (Minka Aire) to link two down rods together. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804

I would love to be able to give you my answer on that however I just installed the light...but will be glad to let you know! I am sure the people at Magnus would be able to answer that for you as well :)

The base is a standard 2 pin 12volt connection which is common to most all of the plug in stern lights available. Although I am not familiar with this particular pole, I believe you have a much more than even chance of it fitting.

You can't use this one for both the main light and the night light. The description was misleading. I had to buy another dual pole switch (one for the vanity and one for the night light).

I have the 60 inch Silverback. I bought the light because the ad copy makes you think it comes ready to work on even a 4x4 inch pole. It does not work right out of the box. However with modification it works great! I ordered the Chicago Hardware 4 x 7 inch u-bolts and plate. Using this plate and u-bolt combination made mounting the light system easy. So far so good.

Sorry, I'm not a professional when it comes to light bulb specs and what might not be incompatible.

Guys, for some reason Amazon is deleting my posts. But Tentpole tech DOES support the tent. They said they can make me a new pole for my bay window for 11.99 plus shipping of about 8 bucks. I will try to post their exact response. NOT SURE WHY AMAZON IS DELETING IT! If you contact TentPole ask for Tom Hegerle.

I think the issue is that your light has a 1" diameter & all compatible lights listed are 1.25". Your light will fit but it might not be be secure.
