Horizontal Pole Mounts
Side brackets with a 2-3/8 inch tenon at 90 degrees for adding a flood or area light to a pole or wall.
Home › Lighting Products › Parking Lot Lighting & Poles › Light Pole Accessories › Horizontal Pole Mounts
A horizontal pole mount sets a 2-3/8 inch tenon out at 90 degrees from a pole shaft or a building wall, so you can add a fixture below the main heads or on the side of a structure. Common uses are a flood aimed at a storefront or an area light covering a dark side yard. The LS-PMH is listed for fixtures with an adjustable knuckle and comes in 1, 2, 3 and 4 inch adaptor sizes in four colors. This group also includes a 10.75 inch SSA straight arm wall mount adaptor in bronze. Confirm the adaptor size against your pole or wall before ordering.

Where Should You Use a Horizontal Pole Mount?
A mid-pole or wall fixture works best when it fills a real gap, so plan these points first.
- Pick the height. Mount low enough to clear the main heads and their light pattern. A lower fixture lights a smaller, brighter area.
- Match the fixture bracket. A knuckle-mounted flood can sit on the tenon with a knuckle tenon mount, and a yoke fixture with a yoke tenon mount.
- Size the adaptor. The LS-PMH is offered in 1, 2, 3 and 4 inch adaptor sizes. Send us the pole OD or wall details so we can confirm which one you need.
- Count it in the wind load. A fixture hung partway up the pole still adds to the pole’s EPA. Add it to the heads at the top and confirm the total stays at or below the pole’s rated EPA for your wind speed, using the steps in our pole selection guide.
- Wall or pole. For a building face, the 10.75 inch SSA straight arm wall mount adaptor in bronze gives an alternate arm-style option.
Flood with a threaded knuckle? Add a knuckle fixture tenon mount to the tenon.
Horizontal Pole Mounts Questions
The LS-PMH uses a 2-3/8 inch tenon set at 90 degrees. That fits standard slipfitters, and it accepts knuckle or yoke fixtures with the matching tenon mount.
Yes. It is listed for both light poles and walls, which makes it handy for putting an area light or flood on the side of a commercial building for security.
The LS-PMH is offered in four adaptor sizes. The listing does not spell out what each one fits, so send us your pole diameter or mounting surface and we will match the right size before you order.
A horizontal mount points its tenon straight out from the pole or wall. A vertical pole mount points its tenon up, which suits fixtures with an upright slipfitter. Check how your fixture enters the tenon and choose the mount that matches.
The pole’s rating stays the same, but the load on it goes up. EPA, the effective projected area, totals the wind-facing surfaces of every fixture and bracket on the pole, and the pole is rated for a maximum EPA at a given wind speed. Add the new flood’s EPA from its spec sheet to what is already up there. Swapping an old metal halide flood for an LED usually lightens the head, since LEDs skip the ballast and heavy reflector. Read why EPA wind ratings matter for the background.
