3 Fixture Wood Pole Bullhorn Mount | 2 3/8 Inch Tenon

Product Overview

This 3 Fixture Wood Pole Bullhorn Mount is designed for mounting up to three area or parking lot light fixtures on a single wood utility pole. The bracket features a 2 3/8 inch tenon interface for each fixture, supporting standard slipfitter mounts. It fits wood poles with diameters from 7 to 10 inches, commonly found in outdoor site lighting and sports field environments.

The bullhorn is constructed from galvanized steel with a bronze powder coated finish for corrosion resistance. Typical use includes new lighting installations or upgrades on wood poles where multi-directional light coverage is required, such as parking lots, recreational fields, and municipal sites.

Core Performance and Output

This bullhorn mount supports up to three fixtures with a combined weight capacity of 200 pounds. Each arm terminates in a 2 3/8 inch tenon, compatible with most area and flood light slipfitter mounts. The bracket is engineered for balanced fixture distribution and stable support under wind loading when installed on properly rated wood poles.

Galvanized steel construction provides structural integrity for outdoor environments. The bracket?s EPA (Effective Projected Area) is suitable for typical area lighting fixtures, but total wind load must be verified against the pole?s rating. Excessive fixture weight or oversized fixtures may exceed the mount?s capacity or the pole?s structural limits.

Adjustability and Control Options

Each tenon allows for independent aiming of fixtures using standard slipfitter hardware. This enables directional adjustment for targeted light distribution across parking lots, fields, or large outdoor areas. The fixed bullhorn arms do not provide tilt or rotation adjustment at the bracket level; all aiming is achieved at the fixture interface.

No integrated electrical or control features are included. All fixture-level controls, such as photocells or motion sensors, must be specified at the fixture or circuit level.

Longevity and Reliability

The bracket is fabricated from galvanized steel for long-term resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear. The bronze powder coated finish adds an additional layer of protection against weathering and abrasion. All welds and connections are designed for outdoor exposure and repeated seasonal cycling.

Routine inspection of mounting hardware and pole condition is recommended to maintain structural reliability over time. The product carries a 1 year warranty covering material and workmanship defects.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This bullhorn mount weighs 32 pounds and is designed for secure attachment to wood poles with diameters between 7 and 10 inches. The mounting hardware is not included and must be selected based on pole material and site requirements. The bracket?s arms are welded for rigidity and consistent fixture spacing.

The galvanized steel body and powder coated finish are suitable for outdoor, wet, and corrosive environments typical of parking lots and municipal sites. The 2 3/8 inch tenons are industry standard for area and flood lighting fixtures.

Where This Product Fits Best

This bullhorn mount is intended for outdoor site lighting applications where multiple fixtures are required on a single wood pole. It is commonly used in environments that require broad, multi-directional illumination and where wood poles are standard infrastructure.

• baseball field lighting
• sports field lighting
• parking lot lighting
• municipal lighting
• area lighting
• recreational field lighting
• utility distribution

The bracket is suitable for outdoor environments with exposure to weather, wind, and moderate corrosive conditions. It is not intended for use on steel, concrete, or fiberglass poles.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires secure attachment to a wood pole using through-bolts or lag screws rated for the combined weight of the bracket and fixtures. The pole must be structurally sound and sized for the total wind and weight load. All electrical connections and fixture wiring should be completed according to local codes and fixture manufacturer instructions.

Long-term use depends on periodic inspection of mounting hardware, pole integrity, and fixture condition. Environmental exposure may require periodic cleaning or touch-up of the powder coated finish. Overloading the bracket or improper installation can compromise safety and performance.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This bullhorn mount is typically installed at heights ranging from 20 to 40 feet, depending on the lighting requirements and pole height. Fixtures are spaced to provide overlapping coverage for large outdoor areas, such as sports fields or parking lots. The three-arm configuration allows for 120-degree separation between fixtures for wide distribution.

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 or require careful aiming to avoid light trespass.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

The bracket is constructed from galvanized steel and finished with a bronze powder coat for corrosion resistance. It is designed for outdoor use and meets typical site lighting hardware standards. No additional third-party certifications are specified for this product.

The product includes a 1 year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. All installations must comply with local codes and safety practices for elevated work and electrical connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size fixtures can be mounted on this bullhorn?

A: Each tenon supports standard area or flood light fixtures with a slipfitter designed for a 2 3/8 inch tenon. The combined fixture weight must not exceed 200 pounds.

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

A: Typical mounting heights range from 20 to 40 feet, depending on the application and pole height.

Q: Can this bracket be installed on steel or concrete poles?

A: This bracket is designed specifically for wood poles with diameters between 7 and 10 inches. It is not compatible with steel, concrete, or fiberglass poles.

Q: How should fixtures be spaced or aimed when using this bullhorn?

A: Fixtures are typically spaced at 120-degree intervals for wide area coverage. Aiming is adjusted at the slipfitter to direct light as needed for the site layout.

Application Questions and Clarification

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

A: The galvanized steel and powder coated finish provide moderate corrosion resistance, but severe coastal or marine environments may require additional protection or alternative materials.

Q: What is the maximum wind load this bracket can support?

A: The bracket?s wind load capacity depends on the fixtures used and the structural rating of the wood pole. Always verify total EPA and weight against the pole?s specifications before installation.
