Claim:
A laterally extending pole top light assembly for a flagpole comprising: (a) a rotatable cap means located at a top end of the flagpole for attachment of an upper corner of a flag and lower attachment means for a lower corner of said flag so that it may rotate about an axis of said flagpole when acted upon by wind; (b) an adapter removably insertable into and located within a cylindrical top opening of the rotatable cap means and having a top section defining a vertical threaded bore wherein is secured a threaded bolt end of a vertical support shaft; (c) a downwardly facing concave housing having an axial end with a narrower width than a lateral extension end, said axial end comprising rotation support means for rotational support of the housing from the support shaft adjacent to the top section of the adapter; (d) a lighting means for illuminating the flag with lights supported within the lateral extension end of the housing and directed downward; and (e) a cap connecting means for connecting the housing with the rotatable cap so that the housing rotates when the flag causes the rotatable cap to rotate about the flagpole's axis.
