Description

Grafco 1698 Deluxe Gooseneck Exam Light – Ventilated Reflector, Adjustable Height and Mobile Base Options

The Grafco 1698 is a gooseneck exam light for exam rooms, treatment rooms and procedure areas that need focused light right where the provider is working. It’s Grafco’s deluxe gooseneck lamp, a step up from the standard model, with a flared, double-wall reflector that’s vented to run cooler.

You can order it three ways: on a chrome-plated base, as a mobile exam lamp on a rolling base, or on a mobile base with a clutch collar lock. Every version adjusts from 34.5″ to 53.5″ tall and plugs in with a UL listed 3-wire plug on an 8 ft grounded cord.

Grafco is a Graham-Field brand. Not sure which base fits your room? Call us at 585-505-6665 and we’ll help you choose.


Why Choose the Grafco 1698?

This deluxe exam lamp is simple equipment done well. The gooseneck lets staff aim the light at the exam area, the height range covers a seated or standing provider, and the one-piece phenolic socket has a back-turn knob switch right at the head. The heavy-gauge anodized aluminum gooseneck shade and the double-wall, dual cool ventilated reflector are what set the deluxe model apart. It takes up to a 60 watt bulb or a 13 watt CFL equivalent, on standard 115/120V power.


Who Is the Grafco 1698 Best For?

The 1698 is a good fit for:

  • Physician offices and clinic exam rooms
  • Treatment rooms in assisted living and long-term care
  • Therapy, wound care and podiatry practices that need light at the patient
  • Practices that share one lamp between rooms (pick a mobile base)

For more on setting up a care space, see our Patient Care Equipment Practical Guide.


Who May Need a Different Exam Lamp?

  • Anyone who wants LED light: Graham-Field lists this lamp for an incandescent bulb up to 60 watts or a 13 watt CFL. Look at the McKesson LED Medical Exam Lamp instead.
  • Anyone on a tight budget: the standard Grafco 1697-1 Gooseneck Exam Lamp is the simpler Grafco model.
  • Rooms with no floor space: this is a floor lamp. Ask us about other options.

Height Range 34.5″ to 53.5″

Graham-Field lists a height range of 34 1/2″ to 53 1/2″ (87.6 to 135.9 cm). That covers a low exam position as well as a standard exam table, and the gooseneck handles the fine aiming.


Up to 60 Watt or 13 Watt CFL

The lamp is rated for a maximum 60 watt bulb or a 13 watt CFL equivalent at 115/120V AC. Never go over the rated wattage. Graham-Field’s listing doesn’t say a bulb is included, so ask us to confirm before you order if you need one in the box.


Double-Wall, Dual Cool Vented Reflector

The flared reflector has a double wall and is vented, which Graham-Field calls “dual cool ventilated.” It’s the main upgrade over a basic gooseneck lamp.


8 ft Grounded Cord, UL Listed Plug

A UL listed 3-wire plug on an 8 ft (2.4 m) grounded cord gives you reach to the outlet without an extension cord.


Choosing Your Options

All three versions share the same lamp head, gooseneck and height range. The difference is the base and the lock.

1698 Chrome-plated base, SOK-IT-GUARD safety lock. Best for a lamp that stays in one room.
1698M Mobile base, SOK-IT-GUARD safety lock. Best for moving one lamp between rooms.
1698CM Mobile base, clutch collar lock.

Not sure which lock your staff prefers? Call us at 585-505-6665.


Grafco 1698 vs. Grafco 1697-1

Both are Grafco gooseneck floor lamps. The 1697-1 is the standard model. The 1698 is the deluxe model, with the flared double-wall vented reflector and a choice of a chrome base or two mobile bases. If you only need basic light in one room, the 1697-1 works. If the lamp moves around or runs for long exams, the 1698 is the better buy.


Common Problem → Grafco 1698 Solution

Problem: The overhead light in the exam room leaves shadows right where the provider needs to see.

Solution: A gooseneck lamp puts focused light at the exam site, and the 1698 adjusts from 34.5″ to 53.5″ so you can bring it close.

Can one lamp serve two rooms? Yes. Pick the 1698M or 1698CM mobile base and roll it where it’s needed.


Sizing & Fit

Check the height you need at the exam table or chair. The lamp covers 34 1/2″ to 53 1/2″. Graham-Field’s shipping carton is about 32″ x 16″ x 8″, and the shipping weight is about 14 lb to 15 lb depending on the base.


Care & Cleaning

Unplug the lamp and let the bulb cool before cleaning. Graham-Field doesn’t publish a cleaning method for this lamp, so as general advice wipe it with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner, and keep liquid away from the socket and switch.


What’s Included

The lamp with the base you choose. Ask us to confirm whether a bulb is included.

Shipping & Returns

Shipping & Return Policy

At MedCare Mobility, we understand that purchasing medical and mobility equipment is an important decision. Our goal is to make the ordering, delivery, and return process as clear and straightforward as possible.

Because many of the products we offer are large, specialized, or shipped directly from manufacturer and distributor warehouses, shipping and return requirements may vary somewhat by product and brand. The policy below explains what you can generally expect when ordering from MedCare Mobility.

Shipping & Order Processing

We ship medical and mobility equipment to customers throughout the United States. Orders are processed as quickly as possible, and tracking information is provided once available.

Processing Time

Most in-stock orders are processed within approximately 1–3 business days. Processing may include order verification, warehouse preparation, packaging, and coordination with the manufacturer or distributor.

Some specialty equipment, made-to-order products, oversized items, or products shipping directly from a manufacturer may require additional processing time. Any estimated processing or lead time shown on an individual product page should be considered part of the expected fulfillment timeframe for that item.

Transit & Delivery Time

Once shipped, many standard orders arrive within approximately 3–7 business days. Larger medical equipment, freight shipments, specialty products, and certain manufacturer-direct orders may require additional transit time.

Tracking information will generally be emailed once the shipment has been processed by the carrier. If you have questions regarding the status of your order, please contact us at info@medcaremobility.com.

Alaska, Hawaii & Special Shipping Areas

Orders shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, and certain remote or limited-access areas may be subject to additional shipping charges. If an additional charge is required after your order is reviewed, we will contact you before proceeding whenever additional payment is necessary.

Freight & Oversized Equipment

Hospital beds, patient lifts, large recliners, ramps, and other oversized medical equipment may ship by freight rather than standard parcel service. Unless a specific delivery service is stated on the product page or order, freight delivery does not automatically include inside delivery, assembly, installation, or removal of packaging.

30-Day Return Policy

We want you to feel comfortable ordering from MedCare Mobility. Most eligible products may be returned when a return is requested within 30 days of delivery, subject to the conditions and exclusions outlined below.

Eligible products generally include:

  • Electric and power wheelchairs
  • Manual and lightweight wheelchairs
  • Mobility scooters
  • Walkers and rollators
  • Patient lifts
  • Wheelchair ramps
  • Hospital and homecare beds
  • Eligible medical mattresses
  • Geriatric and medical recliner chairs
  • Overbed tables
  • Bathroom benches and shower chairs
  • Other eligible medical and mobility equipment

Return eligibility can vary by manufacturer and product type. Products specifically identified as non-returnable, custom, made-to-order, or otherwise subject to special return terms are governed by those terms.

Return Authorization

Please contact us before shipping any product back. Returns must first be approved and issued a Return Authorization (RA) and the appropriate return shipping address.

You may request a return by emailing info@medcaremobility.com or contacting our customer service team through the live chat on our website.

Please do not return merchandise to an address shown on the original shipping label unless specifically instructed to do so. Many products ship directly from manufacturer or distributor warehouses, and the correct return location may be different from the original shipping location.

Condition of Returned Merchandise

To qualify for a return and refund, the product must be returned:

  • In brand-new and unused condition
  • In its complete original manufacturer packaging
  • With all manuals, components, hardware, accessories, and included materials
  • Without damage, modification, assembly wear, stains, odors, or other signs of use
  • In resalable condition upon inspection by the receiving warehouse or manufacturer

We strongly recommend keeping the original box, pallet, protective materials, and packaging until you are certain that you intend to keep the equipment. Large medical equipment can be difficult or impossible to return safely without its original packaging.

Restocking Fees

Approved returns are subject to a mandatory restocking fee, generally ranging from 15% to 20% of the applicable product price. The exact restocking percentage varies depending on the manufacturer, brand, and type of equipment being returned.

These restocking charges are assessed to us by the manufacturer or distributing warehouse when merchandise is returned. MedCare Mobility does not add the fee simply as a return penalty; when the manufacturer requires the charge, we must pass the applicable amount through as part of processing the return.

If you would like to know the applicable restocking percentage for a particular product before ordering, please contact us and we will be happy to help whenever that information is available from the manufacturer.

Return Shipping & Shipping Charges

The customer is responsible for shipping charges associated with the order when making a standard return.

Customers are responsible for arranging for the approved merchandise to be returned to the return address provided with the Return Authorization. In certain cases, we may be able to provide a prepaid return label or coordinate return transportation for your convenience. When provided, the applicable shipping cost may be deducted from the final refund.

Because some medical equipment is oversized or requires freight transportation, prepaid labels or carrier call tags may not be available for every product. Our customer service team will provide the available return instructions when your return is authorized.

Non-Returnable Products

For health, hygiene, safety, customization, and manufacturer-policy reasons, certain products are not eligible for standard returns.

We currently do not accept returns on:

  • Parts & accessories
  • Wheelchair cushions and support accessories
  • Patient lift slings
  • Custom or made-to-order products
  • Products specifically identified as non-returnable on the product page

If a non-returnable product arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, please contact us promptly. Non-returnable status does not prevent us from assisting with a legitimate shipping damage, defect, warranty, or fulfillment issue in accordance with the applicable manufacturer and carrier procedures.

Damaged or Incorrect Orders

We take shipping damage seriously and will work with you to help resolve legitimate delivery issues.

If your product arrives damaged, please notify MedCare Mobility within 48 hours of delivery. Whenever possible, retain the shipping carton, pallet, packaging materials, and the product exactly as received and take clear photographs of the packaging and any visible damage.

Reporting damage promptly is important because carriers and manufacturers have limited timeframes for filing freight and shipping claims.

If you receive an incorrect product or believe there is a manufacturer defect, please contact us before returning or disposing of any merchandise or packaging so that we can provide the appropriate instructions.

Refused Deliveries

Please contact us before refusing a delivery unless the shipment has obvious significant freight damage and the carrier is documenting the damage at delivery.

A shipment that is refused for reasons unrelated to verified shipping damage may be treated as a standard return. Applicable restocking and shipping charges may therefore be deducted from the refund.

Return Shipping Deadline

Once a return has been approved and return instructions or a return label have been issued, the merchandise must be shipped within 72 hours unless MedCare Mobility provides different instructions in writing.

This is particularly important when a return is approaching the end of the applicable return period. Returns shipped outside the authorized timeframe may be refused by the manufacturer or warehouse and may no longer qualify for a refund.

Refund Processing

Refunds are processed after the returned merchandise has been received and inspected by the applicable warehouse or manufacturer and the return has been confirmed to meet the return requirements.

The applicable restocking fee, shipping charges associated with the order, and any other authorized return-related charges will be deducted from the amount eligible for refund.

If returned merchandise is used, damaged, incomplete, missing original packaging or components, or otherwise returned in a condition that prevents the manufacturer or warehouse from accepting it as new and resalable merchandise, the return may be refused or the refund may be reduced in accordance with the manufacturer’s assessment.

Custom & Made-to-Order Products

Products identified as custom, configured, made-to-order, special-order, or manufactured specifically for the customer cannot generally be canceled once production or manufacturer processing has begun and are not eligible for standard returns.

For custom products, cancellation may only be possible during the initial processing period and before production or customization begins. Because production schedules vary by manufacturer, we encourage customers to contact us immediately if a change is required.

If a custom product arrives damaged or has a legitimate manufacturing defect, we will work with the manufacturer to pursue the appropriate resolution, replacement components, repair, or other available remedy under the applicable manufacturer policy or warranty.

Questions Before Ordering?

Medical equipment can vary considerably in size, configuration, compatibility, and intended use. If you are unsure whether a product will work for your needs, we strongly encourage you to contact us before placing your order.

Our team is happy to help review product specifications, dimensions, options, compatibility, and available manufacturer information so you can make a more informed purchasing decision and reduce the possibility of needing a return.

For shipping, return, or product questions, contact us at info@medcaremobility.com or speak with us through the live chat on our website.
