2 Fixture 180 Degree Bullhorn Mount | 2 3/8 Inch Tenon | Bronze

Product Overview

The 2 Fixture 180 Degree Bullhorn Mount is a structural lighting accessory designed for mounting two fixtures at opposing 180-degree positions on a single pole. This bracket features a 2 3/8 inch tenon interface and a bronze finish, supporting area and parking lot lighting installations where dual fixture orientation is required. Typical use includes mounting on steel or concrete poles in outdoor environments, enabling broad coverage with two fixtures from a single mounting point.

The bullhorn bracket is engineered for compatibility with standard 2 3/8 inch tenon poles and is commonly deployed in parking lots, commercial sites, and roadway perimeters. The 0.9 EPA rating and 24 lb weight are suitable for most standard pole installations, provided the pole?s wind load and structural capacity are verified for the combined bracket and fixture load.

Core Performance and Output

This bullhorn mount supports two fixtures at a fixed 180-degree separation, allowing for wide area coverage from a single pole location. The 0.9 EPA (Effective Projected Area) rating is critical for calculating wind load on the pole and ensuring safe installation in outdoor environments. The bracket?s 24 lb weight must be included in total pole load calculations, especially when combined with heavier fixtures or in high-wind regions.

The 2 3/8 inch tenon size is compatible with most area and parking lot fixtures designed for slipfitter or tenon mounting. Excessive fixture weight or EPA beyond the bracket?s rating may compromise pole stability. For installations above 30 feet or in regions with high wind exposure, verify pole and foundation suitability for the combined EPA and weight.

Adjustability and Control Options

This bullhorn mount provides a fixed 180-degree orientation for two fixtures. Each fixture is mounted on a dedicated arm, allowing independent vertical aiming if the fixture?s slipfitter supports it. The bracket itself does not offer horizontal adjustability or rotation beyond the fixed separation angle.

No integrated control or wiring features are included. All fixture-level controls, such as photocells or motion sensors, must be managed at the fixture or circuit level. Ensure fixture wiring is compatible with the bracket?s physical layout and pole access points.

Longevity and Reliability

The bracket is constructed from durable materials with a bronze finish for corrosion resistance in typical outdoor environments. The 1-year warranty covers material and manufacturing defects. Routine inspection is recommended to check for corrosion, mechanical stress, or fixture loosening over time.

Reliability is dependent on correct installation, proper torque on mounting hardware, and adherence to EPA and weight limits. In coastal or highly corrosive environments, additional protective measures may be required to maintain finish integrity.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This bullhorn mount is fabricated for structural rigidity and long-term outdoor use. The bronze finish provides a neutral appearance compatible with most commercial and municipal site aesthetics. The bracket weighs 24 lbs and is designed for direct mounting to a 2 3/8 inch tenon pole top.

The 0.9 EPA rating is suitable for most standard pole applications, but always confirm total load calculations with the pole manufacturer or structural engineer. The bracket?s arms are welded or mechanically fastened for stability under wind and fixture load.

Where This Product Fits Best

This bullhorn mount is intended for outdoor area lighting applications where two fixtures are needed on a single pole for broad, opposing coverage. It is commonly used in commercial parking lots, roadway perimeters, and large site lighting projects. The bracket?s EPA and weight are compatible with most standard steel or concrete poles used in these environments.

• parking lot lighting
• area lighting
• commercial site lighting
• roadway perimeter lighting
• campus lighting
• dealership lighting
• industrial yard lighting

Environments with high wind exposure or corrosive conditions may require additional evaluation of pole strength and finish durability. The bracket is not intended for decorative or low-mount installations.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires a pole with a 2 3/8 inch tenon and sufficient structural capacity for the combined bracket and fixture load. Secure mounting hardware and proper torque are critical for long-term stability. The bracket?s fixed 180-degree arms simplify aiming for opposing coverage but limit flexibility for other configurations.

Routine maintenance should include inspection of mounting hardware, fixture attachment points, and finish condition. In regions with frequent storms or high winds, periodic checks for movement or loosening are recommended. The bracket?s design supports straightforward fixture replacement or upgrade without removing the entire assembly.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This bullhorn mount is typically installed at mounting heights ranging from 20 to 35 feet, depending on fixture type and site requirements. Fixtures are spaced at 180 degrees to maximize coverage on opposite sides of the pole, often reducing the total number of poles needed for uniform site illumination.

Spacing between poles is determined by fixture output, beam pattern, and site layout. Using higher output fixtures can increase pole spacing but may require careful aiming to avoid glare or light trespass. The fixed bracket angle ensures consistent coverage but does not allow for custom fixture orientation beyond the 180-degree separation.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This product is designed for structural safety in outdoor lighting applications. The 0.9 EPA and 24 lb weight must be included in all pole and foundation load calculations. No additional electrical or lighting certifications apply to this bracket.

The bracket is covered by a 1-year warranty against material and manufacturing defects. Follow all installation guidelines and verify compatibility with pole and fixture specifications for safe operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum fixture weight this bullhorn can support?

A: The bracket itself weighs 24 lbs and has a 0.9 EPA rating. Confirm total fixture weight and EPA with the pole manufacturer to ensure safe installation.

Q: What tenon size is required for mounting?

A: This bullhorn is designed for a 2 3/8 inch tenon pole top.

Q: Can the arms be adjusted for different angles?

A: The arms are fixed at 180 degrees and do not allow for horizontal adjustment.

Q: Is this bracket suitable for coastal or corrosive environments?

A: The bronze finish provides standard corrosion resistance. For highly corrosive environments, additional protective measures may be needed.

Q: How should fixture spacing and aiming be planned with this bracket?

A: Fixtures are mounted at 180 degrees for opposing coverage. Spacing between poles depends on fixture output and site requirements.

Application Questions and Clarification
