Old Glory Basks in Solar-Powered LED

Flying above Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor, the replica of the giant flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write our national anthem still looks great by the dawns early light. But now Old Glory also looks pretty terrific at night, thanks to an ultra-high efficiency bank of LED lights powered entirely by the sun. According to the National Park system, which maintains the historic site, the LED system “produces a brighter light that enhances the color of the Star Spangled Banner.”
