Track Light System

Product

Overview

The track light system is a ceiling rail carrying live copper busbars that feed adjustable spotlight heads clipped along its length. Because the heads tap power anywhere on the track and aim independently, the system suits retail, gallery, and accent lighting where fixtures must be repositioned and re-aimed without rewiring. A three-circuit track lets separate switch lines drive different head groups from one rail.

Construction

The Track Rail is an extruded aluminium channel housing four copper busbars on a moulded PVC insulator carrier, closed by end caps and fixed to the ceiling by spring clips. A power feed block brings mains into the busbars, and a joiner links rail sections mechanically and electrically.

Each Spotlight Head clicks onto the rail through a Track Adapter, a twist-lock body whose sprung contact pins press against the busbars and whose quarter-turn lever locks it into the slot and the chosen circuit. Aiming is set by a Gimbal Joint for pan and a Pivot Joint whose friction washer holds the tilt angle.

The light engine is the COB LED Module, a metal-core board carrying a high-CRI chip-on-board emitter array, fed by an in-head LED Driver that rectifies the track mains and regulates LED current. A reflector and polycarbonate beam lens set the spot angle, a finned heat sink cools the COB, and a die-cast decorative housing finishes the head.
