Support and Anchorage
To prevent sway and provide proper support of the light, the ceiling mount must be attached to a
structurally-sound ceiling. Most ceilings will require additional reinforcing to hold the light. It is
the responsibility of the customer and the installing contractor to provide the safe reinforcement
needed to meet local and state building codes of each installation. A typical reinforcement consists
of a ¼” steel plate, the bottom surface of which is flush with the inside surface of the finished
ceiling (e.g., acoustical tile) and connected firmly to the structural ceiling. Sway braces (e.g., made
of angle iron) are recommended when there is more than 12” between the structural and finished
ceilings. Make certain the installed plate is level, or the arm(s) may “drift”.
Equipment anchorage
diagrams are supplied with these instructions to help with the installation (see page 19). The
diagrams were prepared by a California-licensed Structural Engineer. If the lights are installed
accordingly, the systems will meet requirements of the State Seismic Codes.
Mounting Height
The proper height of the light should be set by the end user. This depends on the ceiling height, the
height of the examination tables, types of procedures and the user’s preferences. (See Figure 1 on
page 6.) Due to the large vertical range of the light head (Approx. 41 in / 1040 mm), the standard
16 in down tube will fit most normal ceiling heights. The following table gives some
recommendations and shows the range of the light with the different length down tubes.
