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

Product Overview

This 4 Fixture Wood Pole Bullhorn Mount is designed to support the installation of up to four area or parking lot lighting fixtures on a single wood utility pole. The mount is fabricated from galvanized steel and finished with a bronze powder coat for corrosion resistance in outdoor environments. It is engineered to fit wood poles with diameters ranging from 7 to 10 inches, providing a secure and stable mounting solution for lighting upgrades or new installations in parking lots and large exterior areas.

The bullhorn mount features a 2 3/8 inch tenon, which is compatible with most standard slipfitter fixtures used in area and parking lot lighting. This mounting accessory is commonly used when multiple fixtures are required on a single pole to achieve broad, uniform coverage. The design supports up to 200 pounds of combined fixture weight, making it suitable for a range of commercial and industrial lighting deployments.

Core Performance and Output

The structural performance of this bullhorn mount is defined by its 200-pound weight capacity and robust galvanized steel construction. The 2 3/8 inch tenon arms provide a stable interface for mounting four fixtures, distributing weight evenly and minimizing flex under load. The mount is intended for use on wood poles with diameters between 7 and 10 inches, ensuring a secure fit and reliable support for typical area lighting applications.

The mount?s EPA (Effective Projected Area) capacity is suitable for most standard area and parking lot fixtures, but total fixture EPA should be verified to avoid exceeding pole or mount limits in high wind zones. Excessive fixture size or weight may reduce structural safety, especially at higher mounting heights or in exposed locations.

Adjustability and Control Options

This bullhorn mount provides fixed mounting positions for four fixtures, each on its own tenon arm. The 2 3/8 inch tenon is compatible with slipfitter-style fixtures, allowing for individual fixture aiming and tilt adjustment as supported by the fixture?s mounting hardware. The mount itself does not include integrated aiming or rotation features beyond the fixed arm orientation.

Control options such as photocells, motion sensors, or networked controls are determined by the fixtures installed on the mount. The mount does not include integrated wiring channels or control hardware; all controls must be managed at the fixture level or within the pole wiring system.

Longevity and Reliability

The mount is constructed from galvanized steel for long-term corrosion resistance and structural integrity in outdoor environments. The bronze powder coated finish provides an additional layer of protection against weathering, abrasion, and UV exposure. All welds and connections are designed for outdoor durability and to withstand repeated thermal cycling.

Routine inspection of mounting hardware and pole attachment points is recommended to maintain long-term reliability, especially in regions with high wind or severe weather. The mount carries a 1-year warranty covering material and manufacturing defects.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This bullhorn mount weighs 39 pounds and is fabricated from galvanized steel, providing a balance of strength and manageable installation weight. The bronze powder coated finish is standard for commercial exterior lighting hardware and blends with most fixture colors. The mount is designed to wrap securely around wood poles with diameters from 7 to 10 inches, using heavy-duty hardware for attachment.

The four tenon arms are welded to the main body, each providing a 2 3/8 inch diameter mounting point for slipfitter fixtures. The mount?s physical design ensures even load distribution and minimizes stress concentrations on the pole. All hardware is included for standard installation on wood utility poles.

Where This Product Fits Best

This bullhorn mount is intended for exterior lighting applications where multiple fixtures are required on a single wood pole. It is most commonly used in:

• parking lot lighting
• area lighting
• municipal lighting
• agricultural property lighting
• rural roadway lighting
• utility distribution
• recreational field lighting

The mount is suitable for outdoor environments where galvanized steel and powder coated finishes are required for corrosion resistance. It is not intended for use on steel, concrete, or fiberglass poles. Environmental exposure such as wind, precipitation, and UV should be considered when planning installation and fixture selection.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires securing the mount to a wood pole with a diameter between 7 and 10 inches using the included hardware. The mount is designed for overhead installation by qualified personnel using appropriate lifting and safety equipment. Fixtures are attached to the tenon arms using standard slipfitter mounts, with wiring routed through the pole as required by local code.

Long-term use depends on periodic inspection of mounting hardware, pole condition, and fixture attachment points. In high wind or coastal environments, additional attention to corrosion and fastener integrity is recommended. The mount?s design allows for fixture replacement or aiming adjustments without removing the entire assembly.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This bullhorn mount is typically installed at mounting heights ranging from 20 to 40 feet, depending on pole height and application requirements. Fixtures are spaced evenly around the pole to provide 360-degree coverage or targeted area illumination. The number and type of fixtures installed will affect light distribution and uniformity across the site.

Spacing between poles is determined by fixture output and site lighting needs. Using higher output fixtures can reduce the number of poles required but may increase glare or require more precise aiming. Fixture EPA and total weight must be considered to avoid exceeding mount or pole limits, especially in exposed or high wind locations.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

The mount is fabricated from galvanized steel and finished with a bronze powder coat for corrosion resistance. All welds and hardware are designed for outdoor use. The product is covered by a 1-year warranty. No additional safety certifications are specified for this accessory. Installation must comply with local codes and safety standards for overhead work and pole-mounted equipment.
