Mounting a solar area light on top of a square pole shouldn't turn into a fabrication project. The SL-SAL-BKT-ST-3-BK-G1 is the tenon adapter for a 3" square pole, a factory-made pole mounting bracket from LIGHT EFFICIENT DESIGN that lets your Solera solar area light sit cleanly on the top of the pole instead of hanging off its side. If you've been searching for a pole tenon, a pole top adapter, a light pole mount or a pole mounting bracket for flood light and area fixtures, this is the piece that finishes the job — no drilling guesswork, no improvised strut, no welding.

This is a tenon adapter for 3" square pole finished in black, so it disappears against dark poles and matches the black housings of the SL-SAL area light family. It is designed specifically for the SL-SAL off-grid and hybrid solar area lights, which all ship with a standard slip fitter mounting bracket — the slip fitter slides over the tenon and clamps down, giving you a solid, repeatable connection between fixture and pole. Because the solar fixtures it serves are built for the outdoors (the SL-SAL off-grid and hybrid models operate from -4°F to 122°F and carry a 100,000-hour rated life), the mount has to stay put season after season, and that's exactly the role this bracket plays. Model code: SL-SAL-BKT-ST-3-BK-G1.

Think parking lots, laneways, storage yards, campgrounds, farm entrances, municipal pathways, church and school lots — anywhere across Canada where a new square pole is going in and the light belongs on top, aimed out over the area. It is the pole-top answer for the G2 50W solar hybrid light and its 2 solar panel kit for 50W area lights. Working with a round pole instead? Reach for the 3" pole tenon for round poles, or clamp to the shaft with the 3" to 6" square pole mounting bracket. Add this tenon to your order with the fixture and install in one trip.

What this bracket is
The SL-SAL-BKT-ST-3-BK-G1 is listed in the LIGHT EFFICIENT DESIGN Solera solar accessory range as the tenon adapter for 3" square pole. Its job is simple and important: create a proper tenon on the top of a 3" square pole so a slip-fitter fixture can be mounted, levelled and locked in place. All SL-SAL models include a standard slip fitter mounting bracket, so the fixture you already own is ready for this adapter straight out of the carton. The black finish keeps the hardware visually quiet under the fixture head and matches the black SL-SAL housings.

Where it fits in the accessory line-up
LIGHT EFFICIENT DESIGN offers a full set of solar area light accessories so the same fixture can go almost anywhere. For the SL-SAL off-grid and hybrid models the family includes SL-SAL-BKT-RP-BK-G1 (round pole bracket), SL-SAL-BKT-SP-BK-G1 (square pole bracket), SL-SAL-BKT-ST-3-BK-G1 (tenon adapter for 3" square pole), SL-SAL-BKT-RT-3-BK-G1 (tenon adapter for 3" round pole) and SL-SAL-BKT-WM-BK-G1 (wall mount bracket). Choose the tenon adapters when the light goes on the pole top, the round/square pole brackets when it mounts to the side of the shaft, and the hybrid wall mount bracket when a building wall replaces the pole altogether. Note that the RP-SAL accessories are a separate series and are not interchangeable with SL-SAL hardware.

Technical specifications
Part #: SL-SAL-BKT-ST-3-BK-G1
Brand: LIGHT EFFICIENT DESIGN
Description: Tenon adapter for 3" square pole
Finish: Black

Fixture attachment: Standard slip fitter mounting bracket included with all SL-SAL models

Fixtures and installation
The SL-SAL solar area lights this adapter serves cover real ground: SL-SAL-OG-30W-50K-SF-BK-G2 delivers 30W and 5900 lumens at 5000K with an EPA of 4.45, while SL-SAL-OG-50W-50K-SF-BK-G2 delivers 50W and 9800 lumens at 5000K with an EPA of 6.1; the hybrid versions SL-SAL-HYB-30W-40K-SF-BK-G2 and SL-SAL-HYB-50W-40K-SF-BK-G2 run 4000K at the same 30W/5900 lumens and 50W/9800 lumens. Off-grid models are powered entirely by the sun with no trenching or wiring, while hybrid models are backed up by line voltage for guaranteed light every night. Those fixtures carry a 100,000-hour rated life and operate from -4°F to 122°F, so plan the pole-top mount to match: check that the pole top is square-cut and clean, set the tenon adapter, slide the slip fitter over it, then level the fixture and aim the solar panel toward the sun before final tightening. Use a torque-appropriate wrench and confirm the pole's EPA capacity against the fixture EPA before you leave site.

Projects and documentation
This adapter is the everyday choice for parking lots, laneways, RV parks and campgrounds, equipment yards, rural driveways and municipal walkways where a new square pole is being set and the fixture belongs overhead. Contractors like it because it standardizes the install: same tenon, same slip fitter, same look from pole to pole across a site. Pair it with a circular solar post top in 4000K or a circular solar post top in 3000K elsewhere on the property for a coordinated off-grid lighting plan.
