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

Product Overview

This 3 Fixture 180 Degree Bullhorn Mount is designed for mounting up to three light fixtures on a single pole, providing a 180-degree spread for site and area lighting applications. The mount features a 2 3/8 inch tenon size, which is compatible with standard pole top adapters and most commercial-grade poles. The bronze finish offers a neutral appearance that blends with typical site lighting installations. This mounting accessory is commonly used in post top lighting layouts for parking lots, campuses, and architectural site environments where multi-directional coverage is required.

The bullhorn mount supports fixtures in a symmetrical arrangement, allowing for even distribution of light across large exterior spaces. With an EPA rating of 1.4 and a weight of 18 lbs, it is suitable for use on poles rated for multi-fixture loads and is often specified in new construction or retrofit projects where expanded coverage is needed from a single pole location.

Core Performance and Output

This bullhorn mount is engineered to support three fixtures in a 180-degree configuration, maximizing coverage from a single pole. The 2 3/8 inch tenon is a standard size for area and site lighting fixtures, ensuring compatibility with most shoebox, flood, or post top luminaires. The mount?s EPA of 1.4 must be factored into the total pole load calculation, especially in regions with high wind exposure or when mounting on poles with limited structural capacity.

The structural design allows for secure attachment of fixtures up to the combined EPA and weight limits of the pole. Excessive fixture size or weight beyond the mount?s or pole?s rating can compromise stability. For installations at higher mounting heights or in open areas, verify that the total EPA?including fixtures and mount?remains within the pole?s wind load rating.

Adjustability and Control Options

This bullhorn mount provides fixed 180-degree fixture spacing. Each arm is set at a consistent angle, ensuring uniform distribution but does not allow for independent aiming or tilt adjustment at the mount level. Fixture-specific aiming or optical control must be managed at the fixture itself.

No integrated wiring or control features are included with the mount. All fixture wiring and control integration should be routed through the pole and managed according to fixture and site requirements. The mount is compatible with fixtures that support external controls, sensors, or networked lighting systems, provided those features are built into the luminaires.

Longevity and Reliability

The mount is constructed from durable materials with a corrosion-resistant bronze finish, suitable for long-term exterior use. The fixed welded design minimizes points of mechanical failure and provides consistent support for the life of the installation.

Routine inspection of mounting hardware and pole integrity is recommended, especially in environments with high wind, vibration, or corrosive exposure. The 1-year warranty covers material and workmanship for the mount itself. Fixture longevity and performance are determined by the luminaires selected for use with the mount.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This bullhorn mount weighs 18 lbs and is finished in bronze for compatibility with most commercial and architectural site lighting poles. The 2 3/8 inch tenon is welded to the main body, providing a secure interface with standard pole top adapters.

The mount?s arms are designed for balanced load distribution and are welded for structural integrity. The EPA rating of 1.4 reflects the mount?s wind-exposed surface area and must be included in all pole and foundation calculations. All mounting hardware should be rated for exterior use and installed to manufacturer torque specifications.

Where This Product Fits Best

This bullhorn mount is intended for exterior site lighting environments where multi-fixture mounting on a single pole is required. It is most often used in locations that demand wide area coverage or architectural lighting layouts with multiple luminaires per pole.

• post top lighting
• architectural site lighting
• pedestrian area lighting
• decorative outdoor lighting
• park lighting
• campus lighting

The mount is suitable for outdoor use in commercial, municipal, and campus settings. It is designed to withstand typical weather exposure and is compatible with standard pole materials and finishes. For coastal or highly corrosive environments, additional finish or material considerations may be required.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires a pole with a compatible 2 3/8 inch tenon. The mount slides over the tenon and is secured with set screws or bolts as specified. All fixtures should be installed according to their manufacturer?s instructions, with attention to weight and EPA limits for both the mount and the supporting pole.

Long-term use depends on periodic inspection of mounting hardware and pole condition. In areas with frequent wind events or heavy snow/ice loads, check for signs of movement or fatigue. The fixed 180-degree configuration simplifies aiming but limits flexibility for future changes in lighting direction or layout.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This bullhorn mount is typically installed at mounting heights ranging from 15 to 30 feet, depending on fixture type and site requirements. It is used to support three fixtures in a symmetrical 180-degree spread, providing broad coverage for walkways, plazas, or parking areas.

Spacing between poles is determined by fixture output, beam distribution, and site lighting criteria. Using higher output fixtures can reduce the number of poles required but may increase glare or require careful aiming. The fixed arm angles ensure consistent coverage but do not allow for custom aiming beyond what is possible at the fixture level.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This mount is designed for exterior use and is constructed to support the mechanical loads associated with three fixtures. The EPA rating of 1.4 and weight of 18 lbs must be included in all structural calculations for pole selection and foundation design.

No additional electrical or safety certifications apply to the mount itself. The product is covered by a 1-year warranty for material and workmanship. All installations should comply with local codes and standards for site lighting and structural safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum EPA and weight this mount adds to a pole?

A: The mount has an EPA of 1.4 and weighs 18 lbs. These values must be included in the total pole load calculation along with the fixtures.

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 and site lighting poles.

Q: Can the fixture arms be adjusted or aimed after installation?

A: The arms are fixed at 180 degrees and do not allow for adjustment. Aiming must be performed at the fixture level if supported by the luminaire.

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

A: Spacing depends on fixture output, beam spread, and site requirements. Higher output fixtures may allow for wider pole spacing but can increase glare if not properly aimed.

Application Questions and Clarification

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

A: The bronze finish provides standard corrosion resistance. For harsh coastal or corrosive environments, additional finish or material considerations may be needed.

Q: What types of fixtures are compatible with this bullhorn mount?

A: The mount is compatible with fixtures designed for 2 3/8 inch tenon mounting, including most area, post top, and architectural site lighting luminaires.

Q: Can this mount be used for single or double fixture applications?

A: This mount is specifically designed for three fixtures in a 180-degree configuration. For single or double fixture applications, use a mount designed for those configurations.
