Has anyone replaced an electric light with this solar light, mounting it on the existing pole?

Yes, we have had many clients do that. You would not have to buy the entire pole though. You would only need the lamp itself. There are many models where you can find the lamp only. You would need to make sure your pole is 3" though for the 3" fitter.

Most definitely. You will want to search for the 3" Fitter version that comes without pole.

Steve d: At the top of the pole are a couple of screws,remove them,and the and then take the top piece out,unscrew the Knob or Eagle from the nut,when that is done,you will have the bolt in hand,just slide the bolt thru the hole in the LED solar flagpole light(which will accept up to a 1/2 inch bolt),and do the reverse of what you had done to remove it from your flagpole. The light will accept up to a 1/2 inch bolt,I have a 20ft high,4 section expandable pole and it works fine on my pole,as long as the bolt is 1/2 inch in size on the top for your light,it shouldn't matter as to how tall your flag pole is,as far as I have seen so far,a 1/2 inch bolt is pretty universal on all flag poles.

To my knowledge, that did not come with mine... It most likely comes off and the metal straps tighten around the pole. This light is not an LED light and has sort of a yellowish tint to it. If it is not sunny enough all day, the light will not stay illuminated throughout the night (i.e. winters in Chicago). It was a good bargain, but I am not pleased with the quality of the light, the duration, or its brightness.

Sorry I didn't install, electrician did it. But the lamp is very pretty. I like it.

Yes. I got one for my parents and the hard wired it to existing installation of similar light.

No, I purchased wire from home depot, wound it around the jar screw lips then made the ends into a hoop to hang the lights, when you finish your wind around the jar, make a slight straight bar before going up to make the hoop. P.S. these lights, all four of which I purchased no longer work, and it is not because I did not change the batteries, they just stopped working! I used cheap solar lights from 99 cent store and Big Lots.

I hung mine from the same chains as my old fluorescent fixture.I don't remember if it was set up for it or if I modified it.Either way, it was a cake walk to hang it from chains.

Not really. There is a stud with the wires inside it that is screwed into the light and has 2 nuts on it to mount. It worked for me without making any additional mounts. I did unscrew the stud from the housing though and put red locktite on it and screwed it back in to make it more secure.

No. It is a permanent mounted fixture. Needs mounted on an electrical box and hard wired to your house.

i ordered this same light.i was able to directly connect it to use it.i've had no problems with the install.

No, you have to wire it in. It's a great light, though. I used it to replace an out door light that didn't work too well. You can have a professional do it or if you have a wire running to the area, just hook up the ground, hot, and neutral wires using wire nuts. After you finish, it might be a good idea to put silicon around the base where it meets the wall.

Fred, a bracket comes with the fixture and it mounts to a pole or what ever you want to attach the fixture. The light fixture then attaches to the bracket and can be locked in place. Wire it with 120V single phase commercial power.

I actually found one that is made for the house mounted pole that looks very similar. Solar Light for 1" House Mounted Flagpoles $24.45 at http://www.flags.com/solar-light-for-1-house-mounted-flagpoles/Shipping was $5.95 for "economy."

No, it does not. You have to attach it to an existing pole or buy a pole and install the pole yourself. The light works really good. No need for electrical wiring.

I went to mount mine on a 4" post and the hexagonal base was larger than the 4" post. I cut a piece of 2x6 in a hexagon shape about an inch larger than the lamp all the way around. I then attached the 2x6 hexagon to the top of the 4x4 and mounted the lamp on top. I have had many complements on how nice they look. Obviously they are not as bright as an electric version, but they are the brightest solar version I have ever found!

One of the photographic illustrations is deceptive. The one that you purchase is only ONE light that is attached to a single solar collector, which you attach to the flag pole. If you need a lot of light, purchasing and using more than one unit might be advisable. I'm not certain that the single light unit that we purchased is sufficiently bright for the task at hand.

There is a plastic extension at the bottom of the lamp which screws in. It is similar to the stake on solar lights. You can wrap wire around the post and around the stake which would accomplish your mission.
