Light mounting help

[bluedog225]

I got some Cooper parking lot type lights at restore (see photo) that accept a tenon type mount (2” or 1.25” rigid conduit size).

I’d like to mount them to my two conex boxes and maybe to the side of my workshop for outdoor lighting.

While I can see using a 90 degree rigid coduit elbow, I’m hoping there is a more elegant solution. I’m particularly stumped on how to run the electrical. I can’t seem to find a tenon mount with an electrical box at the base that I could surface mount. Or a solution for wiring coming out to a 2” rigid elbow (or 1.25” rigid elbow).

I don’t work in this area and am not familiar with the options. I was hoping you guys might have some ideas on how to mount these things.

Thanks

Are you trying to find something you can buy? Or are you going to make something?

Either one. If I can find an example, I’ll probably build myself.

The only idea I had was to enter a junction box with something like this. Not sure if that it up to code. Though there will not be inspection (out in the country).

I’ve got 8 of these lights to mount.

Is a junction box going to be able to handle the weight? How far out is the light going to extend and how heavy are they?

They are stout. I’d guess 10 lbs.

An elbow will need to me mounted with a u-bolt to the conex or shop. And the box will not bear the weight. Unless there is a tenon mount box designed for this weight.

Or something like this. Though I’d probably want to have the box off to the side.

You want to bolt it to the wall. The top bracket is fine. Stay away from that cheap security light arm. They are very flimsy. If you can find a good welded arm you would be fine.

If it's only 7-8' off the ground I would use a short cord to a box next to the light.

Could I put a hole in the pipe and use a wire clamp to exit? Or to run conduit to a box?
