hi everyone
i am slowly building my medical center, but i have a problem with the surgery light mounts: i would like to use the surgery light style from the old set 3459 ( parts 30045160, 30605880, 30605870) but have them hang on the swivel arm from the new hospital set 4404( part number 30514220). the older round surgery light is a more accurate representation of OR lighting, whereas the 3 light set is more for exam tables, at least that is my experience here in the us. any ideas?
thank you

A hot glue gun? Maybe glueing the last swivel piece to the back center of the light would work.
I have doubts though because of the weight of the light, the joints on this sort of arm form tend to be pretty loose. It might be easier to make it a fixed light by attaching it to the ceiling rather than using an arm.
An option for some mobility would be to use a 30 25 2860 - Swivel bar with System X peg (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-25-2860) the 30 04 0610 - Light with clip (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30%2004%200610) attaches to that. If you put the swivel in a System X hole in the ceiling and then glue the large light fxture to the side of the clip lamp you would at least get movement in one direction.

wow. thanks. that system x piece is actually part of the hospital (the front door lights hang from it) and i had not even thought of mounting it from the ceiling. the multi swivel end joint that mounts onto the three-section light actually fits relatively securely, into the semi-circular swivel mount of the old light, and augmented with a bit of rubber, i think it will stay, and yet give full range of motion to the light.
thanks again.
