LED Yoke Mount Flood Lights

What is a Yoke Mount Flood Light?

A yoke mount flood light features an adjustable mounting mechanism that secures the fixture to walls, poles, or ground surfaces while allowing precise beam positioning. The yoke bracket provides 360-degree rotation and 90-degree tilt adjustment, enabling you to direct light exactly where needed. After 17 years of commercial lighting experience, we've found these fixtures solve the challenge of illuminating irregularly shaped areas that standard fixed-mount lights cannot cover effectively.

How Does an LED Yoke or Trunnion Mount Flood Light Differ from Other Types of Flood Lights?

The primary advantage lies in mounting flexibility and beam control. Traditional flood lights mount in fixed positions, limiting your lighting coverage options. Yoke mount systems feature heavy-duty brackets that support wattages up to 1200W while maintaining precise positioning over years of operation. We typically recommend yoke mounts when customers need to illuminate multiple zones from a single mounting point or when architectural features require custom lighting angles.

Where is a Yoke or Trunnion Mount Flood Light Commonly Used?

Most of our commercial customers choose yoke mount flood lights for challenging outdoor applications:

• Parking lots: 150W to 400W fixtures provide comprehensive coverage while reducing the number of poles required for adequate illumination.
• Sports facilities: High-output models delivering 176,000 lumens illuminate football fields, tennis courts, and recreational areas with minimal glare and excellent uniformity.
• Building security: Wall-mounted units with motion sensor integration enhance surveillance camera performance and deter unauthorized access around loading docks and entry points.

How Long Do LED Yoke Mount Flood Lights Typically Last?

Professional-grade yoke mount LED fixtures operate for 50,000+ hours under normal conditions, translating to over a decade of reliable performance. The robust construction handles temperature extremes and weather exposure that would damage inferior lighting products. Based on our project experience, customers save thousands in maintenance costs compared to metal halide or high-pressure sodium alternatives that require frequent lamp and ballast replacements.

Can You Dim An LED Yoke or Trunnion Mount Flood Light?

Advanced models include 0-10V dimming capability that integrates seamlessly with building automation systems and occupancy sensors. Smart dimming reduces energy consumption by up to 90% during low-activity periods while maintaining safety lighting levels. Motion-activated dimming proves especially effective in parking structures and perimeter security applications where full brightness is only needed when occupants are present.

Do LED Yoke Mount Flood Lights Come in Low and High Power Wattage Options?

Our selection spans 30W to 1200W to accommodate everything from accent lighting to large area illumination. Lower wattage units work well for building facades and landscape features, while high-output 800W and 1200W models replace multiple traditional fixtures in stadiums and industrial facilities. All units maintain excellent color quality with CRI ratings of 70+ and deliver consistent light output across their operational lifespan.

How Do I Install an LED Trunnion Mount Flood Light?

Professional installation ensures optimal performance and warranty compliance. Here's the standard process qualified electricians follow:

1. Verify power disconnection at the circuit breaker and confirm with a voltage tester.
2. Mark mounting locations based on your lighting plan requirements and structural support availability.
3. Secure the yoke bracket to the mounting surface using appropriate fasteners for the substrate material.
4. Position the fixture in the bracket and adjust the beam angle before fully tightening the pivot bolts.
5. Connect wiring according to fixture specifications – most units accept 120-277V input with automatic voltage detection.
6. Restore power and verify proper operation, including any dimming or sensor functions.
