Lighting and security fence Paul Conners 02-08-2010

What kind of mounts are used for putting a security light fixture at the top
of a post of a 10-ft "hurricane" fence with barbed wire atop (not razor
wire).

Is there a standard replacement for the "acorn" tops of these posts that are
used for attaching a light? Or is it just a custom job?

Thanks.

I'd talk to a fence company. They might just know themselves.

A quick Google found this. Might give you an idea or two.

Depends on what kind of light fixture you are using. HID floods can be
ordered with a knuckle to fit directly over the end of the pipe, assuming
it is one of a few standard sizes. Properly powering the fixture is not
going to be simple since these are designed for lamp standards and you
won't have the wiring inside your fence posts. You could bolt a length of
flat bar to a cast fixture box and hoseclamp it to the top of your posts if
you want to use $29 hardware store motion lights.
Try Google terms "light fixture" with "slipfitter" or "tenon" for ideas on
lights that mount on lamp standards.

I need to replace my outdoor motion sensor lights.
Actually, I just need the sensors on several.
Last time I tried to find quality equipment but had nothing to assure me
of what i was getting.

So where does one find high-quality motion-sensors that will last?
Recommended brands or models?
