If you only need two heads on a pole and want a softer profile than a straight crossarm, this curved bull horn (LS-BH2180) is the part. It drops onto a 2-3/8 inch OD tenon or tenon adaptor and splits into two arms set 180 degrees apart, each ending in a 4 inch tall vertical tenon for a slipfitter. The frame is steel tubing with stainless steel hardware and a polyester powder coat in black, bronze, US green or white, and a galvanized and painted version can be requested. It is a natural fit for a pole on the line between two parking rows. Spec it alongside LED parking lot lighting kits so pole, fixtures and bracket match.
Is a Two-Fixture Curved Bull Horn Right for Your Pole?
This model does one job well, so confirm it matches yours.
- Two heads, back to back. The arms sit 180 degrees apart, which suits a pole lighting the rows on both sides of it.
- Look before you buy. Owners often choose this curved shape for storefronts and entrances where the pole is seen up close.
- Tenon check. You need a 2-3/8 inch OD tenon at the pole top. If the pole is drilled for arms instead, add a tenon adaptor.
- Check the pair against the pole. LED Spot’s fixture EPA chart lists a double 180 setup at 2.7 with Lifestyle Small heads and 3.1 with Lifestyle Medium heads, compared with 1.6 and 1.8 for one head on a single arm. The pole’s rated EPA at your wind speed has to meet or beat that number.
- Coastal finish. Ask for the galvanized and painted option on sites exposed to salt air.

It comes from the same BH family, but this page covers the two-fixture model only. The round curved range adds 3 in-line, 3 at 120 degree, 4 in-line and 4 at 90 degree frames for more heads per pole.
Standard finish is a polyester powder coat in black, bronze, US green or white. A galvanized and painted version is available on request, which is worth it for coastal and high-humidity sites.
On LED Spot’s fixture EPA chart, which counts luminaire and bracket together, a double 180 layout comes in at 2.7 with Lifestyle Small fixtures and 3.1 with Lifestyle Medium fixtures. Other fixtures will differ, so use the EPA from your fixture’s spec sheet. Then pick a pole height and confirm the pole EPA at your site wind speed is equal to or higher, as laid out in our pole selection guide.
