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

Product Overview

This 2 Fixture 180 Degree Spoke Mount is designed for mounting two area or parking lot fixtures at a 180 degree orientation on a 2 3/8 inch tenon. The mount is constructed from powder coated steel and finished in bronze for outdoor durability. Typical use is on steel or concrete poles in parking lots, commercial sites, or roadway perimeters where dual fixture coverage is required from a single mounting point.

The spoke mount supports two fixtures positioned back-to-back, providing wide area coverage from a single pole location. This configuration is commonly used to maximize pole efficiency and deliver uniform lighting in large exterior environments.

Core Performance and Output

This spoke mount supports two fixtures with a combined EPA (Effective Projected Area) of 0.7 and a total weight capacity suitable for most standard area and shoebox luminaires. The 2 3/8 inch tenon interface is compatible with most commercial-grade outdoor fixtures designed for slipfitter mounting.

The mount's structural performance is rated for typical wind loads encountered in open parking lots and commercial sites. Excessive fixture size or weight beyond the specified EPA or mounting height above 30 feet may require additional structural review. The mount is not intended for use with oversized or high-wind-profile fixtures.

Adjustability and Control Options

The spoke mount provides a fixed 180 degree orientation for two fixtures. Each fixture is positioned directly opposite the other, allowing for symmetrical area coverage. The tenon interface allows for standard slipfitter adjustment at the fixture level, but the spoke itself does not provide independent aiming beyond the fixed angle.

No integrated electrical controls or wiring provisions are included with the mount. All fixture-level controls, sensors, or wiring must be managed at the fixture or pole handhole.

Longevity and Reliability

The mount is fabricated from powder coated steel for corrosion resistance and long-term outdoor use. The bronze finish provides additional protection against weathering and UV exposure. All welds and connections are designed for structural integrity under normal wind and environmental loads.

Routine inspection of mounting hardware and finish condition is recommended as part of standard pole maintenance. The mount is covered by a 1 year warranty.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This spoke mount weighs 7.5 lbs and is constructed from steel with a durable powder coated bronze finish. The 2 3/8 inch tenon is standard for most commercial area lighting fixtures. The mount's EPA of 0.7 is suitable for most dual-fixture outdoor applications without exceeding typical pole or base ratings.

All mounting hardware should be specified for outdoor use and matched to the pole material and diameter. The mount is designed for direct installation onto compatible tenon-equipped poles.

Where This Product Fits Best

This spoke mount is intended for outdoor environments where dual fixture mounting is required for broad area coverage. It is most often used on steel or concrete poles in commercial and municipal exterior lighting projects.

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

The powder coated steel construction and bronze finish are suitable for year-round outdoor exposure. The mount is not intended for coastal or highly corrosive environments without additional protective measures.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires a pole with a 2 3/8 inch tenon and adequate structural capacity for the combined fixture and mount EPA. Fixtures are attached using standard slipfitter brackets. All mounting hardware should be torqued to manufacturer specifications to prevent loosening under wind load.

Long-term use depends on periodic inspection of mounting bolts, finish integrity, and fixture alignment. The mount is designed for minimal maintenance beyond routine checks. Replacement or adjustment is straightforward if required.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights range from 15 to 30 feet, depending on fixture wattage and site requirements. The 180 degree configuration is used to provide back-to-back coverage along parking lot drive aisles, perimeter roadways, or large open areas.

Spacing between poles is determined by fixture output and desired light levels. Using higher output fixtures can reduce pole count but may increase glare if not properly aimed or shielded.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

The mount is fabricated from powder coated steel and is suitable for outdoor use. EPA rating is 0.7. Weight is 7.5 lbs. No additional safety certifications are specified for this accessory. Warranty is 1 year from date of installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum fixture size or weight this spoke mount can support?

A: The mount supports a combined EPA of 0.7 and a total weight of 7.5 lbs. Verify that the selected fixtures do not exceed these limits and that the pole is rated for the total load.

Q: What tenon size is required for installation?

A: The mount is designed for a 2 3/8 inch tenon, which is standard for most commercial area lighting poles.

Q: Can the fixtures be aimed independently?

A: The spoke mount provides a fixed 180 degree orientation. Individual fixture aiming is possible only if the fixtures have adjustable slipfitters.

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

A: The powder coated steel construction is suitable for standard outdoor use. For coastal or highly corrosive environments, additional protective measures may be required.

Q: How should I plan pole spacing when using this mount?

A: Pole spacing depends on fixture output, mounting height, and site lighting requirements. Consult fixture photometrics and site plans to determine optimal layout.

Application Questions and Clarification

Q: Can this mount be used for sports facility lighting applications?

A: Yes, the mount is suitable for sports facility lighting when used with compatible fixtures and poles rated for the combined EPA and weight.

Q: Is this mount compatible with all area and shoebox fixtures?

A: The mount is compatible with fixtures designed for 2 3/8 inch tenon slipfitter mounting, within the specified EPA and weight limits.

Q: What maintenance is required for this spoke mount?

A: Periodic inspection of mounting hardware and finish condition is recommended as part of routine pole maintenance.
