Beaverstate Dental Operatory Lights: LED FL-3000 and FL-3100 vs Celux, Plus Celux Parts

Beaverstate Dental operatory lights come in two families: the LED FL-3000 (top post mount) and FL-3100 (ceiling mount), and the halogen Celux operatory light in 110V (CLX-110) and 220V (CLX-220) versions. Chase Dental Supply carries all four lights plus a full set of Celux replacement parts, from the CLX-011 bulb to the CLX-030 wiring harness, on our Beaverstate Dental brand page.

Below we compare the LED and Celux lights spec by spec and list every Celux part by number.

Key Takeaways

• The FL-3000 and FL-3100 share the same LED light head specs; the only listed difference is the mount (top post vs ceiling).
• Both LED models offer 320 degree rotation with 2 axis movement, a toggle dimmer with automatic intensity memorization, and removable autoclavable handles.
• The Celux CLX-110 and CLX-220 differ by voltage and need the Celux/Pelton light bushing (part 146-208) on a Beaverstate post.
• Beaverstate lists 12 Celux replacement parts, including the CLX-011 24V 100 Watt halogen bulb, CLX-018 transformer and CLX-030 wiring harness.
• Always switch off and disconnect power and let a halogen bulb cool before opening the light head.

What Are the Beaverstate Dental Operatory Lights?

Beaverstate Dental operatory lights are chair side exam and treatment lights built to mount on a post, a ceiling, or an operatory system. The lineup splits into LED models (FL-3000 and FL-3100) and halogen Celux models (CLX-110 and CLX-220).

Beaverstate Dental (also written Beaver State Dental) also builds the delivery systems and posts these lights mount on. For a full room, the Treatment Room Furniture and Lighting category groups lights with chairs, stools and carts.

FL-3000 vs FL-3100: What Is the Difference?

The FL-3000 and FL-3100 are the same LED operatory light with different mounts. The FL-3000 is a top post mount light, and the FL-3100 is a ceiling mount light.

FL-3000 top post mount LED operatory light

The Beaverstate Dental FL-3000 Top Post Mount LED Operatory Light sits on top of a post, the setup used with many chair mounted and post mounted delivery systems. It suits rooms that already have a light post and want to keep the ceiling clear.

FL-3100 ceiling mount LED operatory light

The Beaverstate Dental FL-3100 Ceiling Mount LED Operatory Light hangs from the ceiling, which frees the chair and post area.

Shared LED specs

Both models list the same light head features:

• 320 degree rotation combined with 2 axis movement
• Toggle dimmer on/off switch with automatic intensity memorization
• 5000 Kelvin color temperature
• Removable autoclavable handles
• Consumes less than 12 watts of power

Autoclavable handles help infection control, since every provider touches the handle.

Celux CLX-110 vs CLX-220: What Do You Get?

The Celux operatory light is a halogen light offered as the CLX-110 for 110 volt service and the CLX-220 for 220 volt service.

Listed Celux features include:

• Lamp head adjusts vertically, horizontally or diagonally
• Sharply defined rectangular light pattern
• 3800 to 4500 Kelvin color temperature, described as ideal for shade matching and examination
• 2 way switch for low (12,000 LUX) and high (24,000 LUX) intensity, with an easy reach on/off intensity switch
• Reflector with dichroic coating that filters out infrared rays for cooler light
• Easy bulb replacement and an easy open safety shield for cleaning

Mounting a Celux light on a Beaverstate post

The Celux light requires the Celux/Pelton light bushing, which is part 146-208 in a Beaverstate post. The Beaverstate Dental 146-208 Light Post Adapter fits Celux, Pelton, Adec and Belmont, at 1.832 O.D. x 1.700 I.D.

Beaverstate also packages the CLX-110 in the Beaverstate Dental Cascade Operatory with a 40 inch light post (146-203) and an Epic chair; see our Beaverstate Epic operatory chair guide.

LED or Celux: Which Beaverstate Light Should You Choose?

Choose an FL-3000 or FL-3100 if you want a low wattage LED light with autoclavable handles and no halogen bulb to replace. Choose a Celux CLX-110 or CLX-220 if you are replacing a Celux light on an existing post, or want the dual low and high LUX settings at a warmer color temperature.

If you are still comparing LED options from other brands, our TPC LED operatory lights comparison covers the Lucent, Lustrous, Radiant and Luminous models as an alternative.

Which Celux Replacement Parts Does Beaverstate Offer?

Beaverstate lists 12 Celux light parts covering the bulb, optics, electrical and housing, plus the post hardware below.

A note on Celux bulb ratings

The CLX-011 replacement is listed as a 24V, 100 Watt halogen filament bulb. The CLX-110 and CLX-220 light listings describe a 12V, 55 Watt tungsten halogen H-3 bulb with twin filaments, so check the rating printed on your current bulb or in your light’s manual before you order, and call us with your light’s model if the two do not match.

More posts, adapters and clamps are in the Parts category, and our Beaverstate Dental replacement parts guide explains how to identify a part from your unit.

How Do You Replace a Celux Light Bulb Safely?

Switch the light off, disconnect power, and let the bulb cool completely before opening the light head. Halogen bulbs run hot enough to burn.

• Open the safety shield (CLX-010), which is designed to open easily for cleaning and bulb access.
• Remove the old bulb from its spring (CLX-014) and inspect the bulb protector (CLX-012) and reflector (CLX-013).
• Handle the new halogen bulb with gloves or a clean cloth, since skin oils on the glass can shorten bulb life.
• Seat the bulb, close the shield, restore power, and test both the low and high settings.

These are general steps. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use for your specific light, and have a qualified technician handle transformer (CLX-018), switch (CLX-017) or wiring harness (CLX-030) work.
