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.

LED Yoke Mount Flood Lights Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Main Advantage of Yoke Mount Flood Lights Over Fixed Mount Options?

Yoke mount flood lights provide 360-degree rotation and 90-degree tilt adjustment, allowing precise beam positioning after installation. Fixed mount lights cannot be repositioned once installed, limiting coverage flexibility. We've found that yoke mounts enable customers to illuminate multiple zones from a single mounting point while reducing the total number of fixtures needed.

What Wattage Range Do LED Yoke Mount Flood Lights Come In?

LED yoke mount flood lights range from 30W to 1200W to accommodate various applications. Lower wattage units (30-150W) work for building facades and landscape accent lighting, while high-output models (800W-1200W) replace multiple traditional fixtures in stadiums and industrial facilities. All units maintain CRI ratings of 70+ for excellent color quality.

How Much Energy Can I Save by Switching to LED Yoke Mount Flood Lights?

LED yoke mount flood lights typically consume 60-80% less energy than equivalent metal halide or high-pressure sodium fixtures. Advanced models with 0-10V dimming capability can reduce energy consumption by up to 90% during low-activity periods through motion-activated controls. The combination of base efficiency gains and smart dimming delivers substantial utility cost reductions.

What Is the Expected Lifespan of LED Yoke Mount Flood Lights?

Professional-grade LED yoke mount fixtures operate for 50,000+ hours under normal conditions, equivalent to over 10 years of reliable performance.
