Brackets & Mounting Adapters for Outdoor LED Fixtures
Mounting hardware is often the difference between a smooth install and a jobsite headache. The right light fixture mounting bracket or adapter ensures your fixture mounts securely, aims correctly, and matches the pole or wall setup—especially on retrofit projects where existing hardware doesn’t match modern LED fixtures.
This collection includes brackets for light fixtures and mounting adapters commonly used in commercial outdoor lighting projects such as parking lots, roadways, campuses, and industrial properties.
Common Uses for Light Fixture Brackets & Adapters
Mounting brackets and adapters are commonly used to:
- Retrofit LED fixtures onto existing poles
- Convert mounting styles (when the fixture and pole top don’t match)
- Add arms or extensions to achieve proper aiming/coverage
- Support multi-fixture layouts for wider illumination
- Replace damaged or mismatched mounting hardware
What to Confirm Before Ordering a Mounting Bracket for a Light Fixture
To avoid fitment issues, confirm:
- Fixture mounting style: slip fitter, arm mount, trunnion/yoke, etc.
- Pole top / tenon size: match the adapter to the pole and fixture requirements
- Wall vs. pole mounting: hardware differs by application
- Aiming needs: some brackets allow more adjustability than others
- Project layout: single fixture vs. multi-arm coverage

Brackets & Adapters — FAQs
What are light fixture mounting brackets used for?
They’re used to mount outdoor LED fixtures securely to poles or walls and to ensure the fixture fits and aims correctly for the site layout.
What’s the difference between a bracket and an adapter?
A bracket typically provides the physical mounting/aiming structure, while an adapter is often used to convert sizes or interfaces (for example, matching a fixture mount to a pole top/tenon).
How do I know which mounting bracket fits my LED fixture?
Start with the fixture’s mounting type (slip fitter, arm, trunnion/yoke) and confirm any required dimensions such as tenon size or bolt patterns.
What is a “universal” light fixture mounting bracket?
“Universal” usually means the bracket is designed to work across multiple fixture types or mounting scenarios, but you still need to confirm compatibility with your specific fixture and pole/wall setup.
Do I need a tenon adapter to mount an LED area light on an existing pole?
Often, yes—especially on retrofits where the existing pole top size doesn’t match the fixture’s required tenon/mount.
Can mounting brackets help improve coverage in a parking lot?
Yes—using the correct bracket or arm can help position and aim fixtures properly, which can improve uniformity and reduce dark spots.
Are these brackets used for both new installs and retrofits?
Yes—brackets and adapters are commonly used for new pole setups and for retrofits where existing hardware needs to be reused or modified.
Can you help match the right bracket/adapter to my pole and fixture?
Yes. If you share the fixture model/mounting type and the pole top/tenon details, we can help identify compatible mounting hardware.
