Is Four Light Post Mount right for you?
Buy the 72436-261 Four Light Post Mount if you are managing outdoor lighting projects that require multiple fixtures on a single pole. It suits professional electricians and municipal maintenance crews comfortable with basic torque-wrench work. For smaller jobs or budget-conscious installations, consider a single-fixture post mount or a modular bracket system, but expect additional hardware and labor when scaling to four lights.
How it compares: Compared with single-fixture post brackets, the 72436-261 consolidates four lights into one unit, cutting down on mounting hardware and installation time. Against generic multi-fixture adapters, it offers a purpose-built, heavier-duty design that better withstands wind loads, though it carries a modest premium.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of lighting fixtures can be attached to the 72436-261 Four Light Post Mount?
▾
The mount is engineered to accept standard lighting fixtures that use a 2-inch or 2.5-inch mounting plate, including street-lights, flood-lights, and decorative lanterns. As long as the fixture’s base aligns with the pre-drilled holes, no additional adapters are needed, making it suitable for a wide range of outdoor luminaires.
Does the mount require any special tools for installation?
▾
Installation only requires a standard wrench or socket set and a torque wrench to tighten the mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s specification. No specialized drilling or welding is necessary, and the bracket’s pre-drilled holes align with typical fixture plates, allowing most electricians to complete the job in under an hour.
How does the powder-coat finish protect the mount in coastal environments?
▾
The powder-coat finish forms a dense, resin-based layer that seals the underlying aluminum against moisture and salt spray. In coastal climates, this barrier prevents corrosion that would otherwise degrade thinner-sheet metal, extending the mount’s service life to ten years or more with minimal maintenance.
Is the mount compatible with both 2.5-inch and 2-inch posts?
▾
Yes, the bracket’s threaded hub accepts both 2.5-inch and 2-inch post diameters, which are the most common sizes used in municipal and commercial lighting. The interchangeable adapters are supplied with the unit, allowing quick conversion without additional hardware or extra cost.
Can the mount be painted to match custom color schemes?
▾
Yes, the powder-coat surface can be lightly sanded and primed before applying a compatible outdoor paint, allowing the bracket to blend with specific architectural palettes. However, painting may void the factory finish warranty, so it should be done by professionals.
