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

Product Overview

The 2 Fixture 180 Degree Spoke Mount is a steel tenon adapter designed for mounting two area or parking lot fixtures at opposing 180-degree angles. It accepts fixtures with a standard 2 3/8 inch slipfitter and is finished in bronze powder coating for durability. This mount is typically used on square or round poles to support dual-fixture layouts in exterior site lighting applications.

With an EPA rating of 0.7 and a weight of 7.5 lbs, this spoke mount is suitable for supporting two fixtures in the 100-200W range, commonly delivering 14,000 to 28,000 lumens per fixture. The adapter is intended for use in commercial parking lots, area lighting, and roadway perimeter installations where dual light distribution is required.

Core Performance and Output

This spoke mount is engineered to support two fixtures at 180 degrees, providing balanced coverage for parking lots and area lighting. The 2 3/8 inch tenon is compatible with most standard slipfitter fixtures in the 100-200W class. The EPA of 0.7 ensures the mount can be used on poles rated for moderate wind loads without exceeding structural limits.

When installed with two fixtures, total wind load and weight must be considered in relation to the pole?s capacity. Excessive fixture size or wattage may exceed the mount?s EPA or the pole?s rating, especially in high wind zones. Always verify pole and foundation suitability before installation.

Adjustability and Control Options

The 2 Fixture 180 Degree Spoke Mount provides fixed 180-degree separation between fixtures. Each fixture can be independently aimed using its own slipfitter adjustment, allowing for precise light distribution on site. The mount itself does not include integrated tilt or rotation features beyond the fixed spoke orientation.

Control options such as photocells, motion sensors, or networked controls are determined by the fixtures selected, not by the spoke mount. The mount accommodates standard fixture wiring through the tenon and pole as required by the installation.

Longevity and Reliability

The spoke mount is constructed from powder coated steel for corrosion resistance and long-term durability in outdoor environments. The bronze finish provides additional protection against weathering and abrasion. All welds and connections are designed for structural integrity under typical site lighting loads.

Routine inspection of mounting hardware and fixture attachment points is recommended as part of ongoing site maintenance. The mount?s reliability is dependent on proper installation and adherence to pole and fixture weight/EPA limits.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This adapter is fabricated from steel and finished with a bronze powder coat. The tenon measures 2 3/8 inches in diameter, compatible with most commercial slipfitter fixtures. The overall weight is 7.5 lbs, minimizing additional load on the pole while providing robust support for two fixtures.

The EPA rating of 0.7 is suitable for most standard pole installations in parking lots and commercial sites. All mounting hardware should be corrosion-resistant and properly torqued during installation to maintain structural performance.

Where This Product Fits Best

This spoke mount is intended for exterior site lighting environments where dual fixture mounting is required on a single pole. It is most often used in commercial parking lots, area lighting, and roadway perimeter applications. The design supports balanced light distribution for large open spaces and perimeter coverage.

• campus lighting
• industrial yard lighting
• dealership lighting

The mount is suitable for outdoor use in environments exposed to weather, with powder coated steel construction for corrosion resistance. It is not intended for coastal or highly corrosive environments without additional protective measures.

Installation and Long-Term Use

The spoke mount installs onto a pole top or side using standard mounting hardware. Fixtures are attached to each tenon arm using slipfitter brackets. Proper alignment and torque of all fasteners are critical for long-term stability and safety.

Routine maintenance should include inspection of all mounting points, hardware, and fixture connections. The mount?s steel construction and powder coat finish provide long service life with minimal maintenance in typical commercial environments.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This mount is typically installed at pole heights ranging from 15 to 30 feet, depending on fixture wattage and site requirements. Dual fixtures are spaced at 180 degrees to maximize coverage on both sides of the pole, often at parking lot drive lanes or perimeter locations.

Fixture spacing and aiming are determined by site layout and desired light levels. Using higher wattage fixtures can reduce the number of poles required but may increase glare if not properly aimed. Always confirm pole and foundation capacity before adding dual fixtures.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

The 2 Fixture 180 Degree Spoke Mount is fabricated from powder coated steel and designed for outdoor use. It is supplied with a 1-year warranty. All installations must comply with local codes and pole manufacturer guidelines for wind load and weight limits.

No additional safety certifications are specified for this accessory. Use only with compatible poles and fixtures to maintain structural safety and code compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What fixture types are compatible with this spoke mount?

A: Any fixture with a 2 3/8 inch slipfitter can be mounted, typically area lights or shoebox fixtures in the 100-200W range.

Q: What is the maximum EPA and weight this mount can support?

A: The mount itself has an EPA of 0.7 and weighs 7.5 lbs. Total supported EPA and weight depend on the pole?s rating and the combined load of both fixtures.

Q: Can this mount be used in coastal or corrosive environments?

A: The powder coated steel construction offers standard corrosion resistance. For coastal or highly corrosive sites, additional protective measures are recommended.

Q: What is the recommended mounting height for this adapter?

A: Typical mounting heights range from 15 to 30 feet, depending on fixture wattage and site requirements.

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

A: Fixtures are mounted at 180 degrees for balanced coverage. Spacing and aiming should be based on site layout, light level targets, and glare control needs.

Application Questions and Clarification

Q: Is this spoke mount suitable for sports facility lighting applications?

A: Yes, it can be used for sports facility lighting when paired with compatible fixtures and installed on poles rated for the combined EPA and weight.

Q: Can this mount be used for dealership or industrial yard lighting?
