midmark 153637 Ceiling Mounted Dental Light
Product Information
The Ceiling Mounted Light is a lighting system designed for medical facilities. It is available in both Halogen and LED styles. The product is suitable for use with Models 153637 (-001) and 153905 (-001). The maximum weight capacity of the lighting system is 70 lbs (31.7 kg).
Installation Note
It is recommended to mount the light on the opposite side of the doctor’s normal work position.
Equipment Alert
The orientation of the ceiling plate is crucial to ensure proper range of motion. Rotate the ceiling plate until the strain relief bracket is positioned as shown.
Ceiling Support Structure
Note that Midmark does not supply the ceiling support structure.
Consult a qualified professional to install the appropriate support structure
for your facility. The illustrations provided in the manual are for suggestion
only.
Ceiling Plate Deflection
The ceiling structure must support the light system without deflection. To prevent the suspension arm from drifting, the ceiling plate must deflect no more than 1/16 in (1.6 mm) over a 12 in (30.5 cm) distance.
Product Usage Instructions
Step 1: Mounting the Light
- Choose the appropriate side to mount the light, opposite to the doctor’s normal work position.
- Rotate the ceiling plate until the strain relief bracket is positioned as shown in the illustrations.
- If using a wood frame ceiling, follow the suggested installation method using joists and nails or consult a qualified professional for guidance.
- If using a suspended ceiling, refer to the provided illustration for the suggested ceiling support structure using metal masonry anchors and bolts.
Step 2: Power Supply
- Ensure a suitable power supply is available near the installation location.
- Connect the light system to the power supply following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 3: Adjusting the Suspension Tube
The suspension tube length may need to be adjusted based on your specific installation requirements. Refer to the table below for suggested lengths:
Light Style | Suggested Suspension Tube Length |
---|---|
Halogen | 96 in. (243.8 cm) to 132 in. (335.3 cm) |
LED | >73 in. (>185.4 cm) with suggested suspension tube of 50 |
cm
Adjust the suspension tube length accordingly to achieve the desired positioning of the light.
For any further assistance or clarification, please refer to the complete user manual provided with the product.

- C) Drill holes.
Note
The customer must provide the wiring to power the lighting system. The
lighting system requires 115/230 VAC input voltage. Wiring should be two
conductor w/ground, 14 gauge copper, rated for 300 VAC (mini-mum). Connect and
route wiring according to state and local codes.
Step 2: Routing power line.
- A) Route power line thru ceiling access hole.
- B) Pull power line thru strain relief bracket on ceiling plate.
Step 3: Secure ceiling plate.
- A) Align ceiling plate to ceiling support structure.
- B) Secure ceiling plate via 1/2” holes with appropriate hardware [not provided].
Step 4: Wiring Installation.
- A) Use label for insert wires from power line into terminal block.
- B) Secure wires with terminal block screws.
Equipment Alert (Halogen ONLY)
If ceiling light unit is being powered by 230 VAC (nominal), disconnect wire
from 115 VAC transformer terminal
and reconnect to 230 VAC transformer terminal.
Step 5: Securing power line to ceiling plate.
- A) Secure facility power line to ceiling plate with cable clamp.
- B) Tighten strain relief screw(s) to secure power line.

WARNING
These are easily cross-threaded.Ensure suspension tubes are fully
threaded in to castings and all set screws are installed in place and securely
tightened. Failure to do so could allow monitor or light tubes to separate
from trolley castings, resulting in serious personal injury to patient or
staff.
Step 7: Installation of suspension tubing.
- A) Route wire harness(es) down thru suspension tube while sliding mounting flange onto three bolts.
- B) Install three lockwashers and three hex nuts.
