Amerlux Rook X Pole Mount Elevates Outdoor Lighting Family

Amerlux, an award-winning design-and-manufacture lighting company, announced it has begun shipping a new pole mount lighting solution that elevates the Rook X adjustable family to new architectural heights, all by offering targeted lighting and greater flexibility in outdoor spaces.

The Rook X pole mount system enables the placement of multiple Rook X adjustable accents on a single pole in variable ways, facilitating precise illumination of selected areas. The system boasts a range of flexible mounting solutions, including a pole with built-in mounting couplers and versatile clamp-on or post-top models, which can be used to upgrade existing poles outside commercial, hospitality, institutional and retail applications.

“The Rook X pole mount system is a welcome and much-asked-for addition that enables easy and seamless pole mounting of variable Rook X adjustable accents,” said Bill Plageman, VP of Marketing at Amerlux. “Versatile, efficient and aesthetically appealing, these pole mount lighting systems are meticulously crafted to ensure every aspect of your exterior design is as brilliantly lit and beautifully accentuated by Rook as your interior. The Rook family of architectural lighting guarantees consistent design integration inside and out at every angle.”

One of the standout features of the Rook X pole mount is how fixtures can be configured with beam shaping films, a hexcell louver and other optical accessories at the time of order, then easily changed in the field, ensuring the Rook X continuously adapts to evolving lighting needs.

Overall features of the Rook X pole mount, which Amerlux featured at its booth at LightFair 2023 to glowing reviews, include:

  • Fixed location pole mount or post-top columns.
  • 4″ or 5″ smooth poles.
  • Field -adjustable clamp for easy installation on existing poles.
  • Side- or rear-mount knuckle for optimal positioning.
  • Configurable with up to four fixtures.
  • Suitable for a wide range of applications.

Available as adjustable accentswall mountspendant mounts and surface mounts with varying apertures sizes, all Rook lighting solutions include integrated drivers for streamlined installation and enhanced reliability.

The Rook family also continues to expand. For instance, Amerlux recently launched the Rook 250 interior pendant series.

We’re not your typical lighting company. We continuously stand apart, a fact that’s evident in this video and underscored by our latest product launches and capabilities.”
