A Beacon of Patriotism

Solar Eagle Flagpole Light

OV-10 Squadron

The Solar Eagle Flagpole Light is a stoic flagpole accessory that automatically illuminates your flag.

Two of the most symbolic emblems of America are the American Flag and the American Eagle. Nothing is more patriotic than when these icons come together.

Beyond Design was contracted by OV-10 Squadron, a team of aircraft restoration experts, to design and engineer a Solar Powered Flagpole Light. To develop the product, we created a realistic custom Eagle design, identified suitable electrical components, and engineered a functional prototype. The product was Designed For Manufacturing (DFM) for mass production and sale.

The first project phase involved researching and identifying pre-existing electronic parts for the Solar Eagle Flagpole Light. The product required bright LED lights, solar panels, a long-lasting rechargeable battery, and an automatic day/night light sensor. The selected components determined the ideal size of the Eagle-shaped outer housing.

After component and material research, Beyond Design created a series of sketches with design options to narrow down the ideal look of the Eagle. Sketches were defined and then sculpted out of clay to capture the precise aesthetic details. A 3D scan of the clay model was performed to produce a master mold for mass assembly and production.

Beyond Design also created a functional prototype using 3D scans and components. The figure’s wings had light panels powered by solar energy and shined for over 8 hours without the need for users to set up any wires. Simply place the Eagle atop their flagpole to charge the battery and it will automatically illuminate the flag in the dark, keeping it brightly lit and visible.

The Solar Eagle Flagpole Light proves Beyond Design can successfully integrate sustainable solutions into consumer electronics. This collaboration with OV-10 Squadron emphasizes our ability to turn visionary concepts into practical, market-ready products with bright design and engineering.
