Built to hold an aimA trunnion is the simplest, strongest way to hang a floodlight. The U-shaped yoke wraps the fixture and bolts to it on both sides, so the load is shared and the fixture cannot twist on a single pivot point. That two-point grip is why trunnion mounting is the standard choice on larger or wind-exposed installations: the bracket resists vibration and wind load, and it will not sag over time. Set the beam once and the aiming angle stays true long after the crew has packed up.
Materials and outdoor useThe bracket is made of durable, corrosion-resistant material with a protective finish and is intended for exterior use alongside wet-location rated fixtures. In Canada that matters: a mounting bracket lives through freezing rain, road spray, snow load and summer heat, and hardware that rusts or loosens turns a well-aimed floodlight into a light pointed at the sky. Solid construction keeps the pivot tight and the finish keeps the weather out.
Mounting and installationThe bracket suits wall, ceiling, soffit, pole or ground-stake mounting, depending on your project. Fasten it to a solid structural surface — framing, masonry anchors or a steel pole — using anchors rated for that substrate, never into siding alone. Leave the pivot bolts slightly loose while you position the fixture, swing the floodlight until the beam covers the target area, then tighten fully. Confirm the final angle after dark, when you can actually see where the light falls and where it spills onto a neighbour's window. On exterior walls, run weatherproof sealant at the fasteners so moisture cannot track behind the bracket and into the wall cavity.
Compatibility — check before you orderSeveral trunnion sizes are available to match different floodlight bodies, so measure the mounting points and hole spacing on your fixture before ordering to make sure the hardware lines up. This one carries SKU
LCFLD-BRACKET-T-BR. Within the same family you will also find the
trunnion bracket for LED floodlights in the other finish, the heavier
trunnion bracket for LED floodlights 400W-500W for high-wattage bodies, plus the
knuckle bracket for LED floodlight and the
pole bracket for LED floodlights when the site calls for a knuckle-style swivel or a pole arm instead of a yoke.
Where it gets usedContractors reach for trunnion brackets on warehouse and shop walls, loading docks, equipment yards, farm buildings, municipal and school grounds, tennis and pickleball courts, and sign or facade lighting. Homeowners use them over driveways, garage doors, decks and back yards, often paired with a compact floodlight like the
30-50-60W LED floodlight. In every case the value is the same: a bracket that keeps a modern LED floodlight pointed where you decided it should point, season after season. If a spec sheet or installation document is available for this bracket, you will find it in the Documentation tab of this page.
