Larson Electronics’ durable light housing comes in a variety of mounts, including a pendant mount with a single 3/4” wiring hub allowing the unit to be suspended from the ceiling or other locations, and a wall mount with four 3/4" wiring hubs allowing the unit to be attached to flat surfaces such as walls, bulkheads or entryways. The unit also comes in a ceiling mount with four 3/4" wiring hubs allowing the fixture to be securely mounted to the ceiling, and a stanchion mount with a single 3/4" wiring hub to be mounted in locations where vertical or horizontal wall or ceiling mounting is not available.
