Track Lighting has undergone many change since bursting onto the commercial lighting scene in the 1960’s. Initially used in retail settings where the unique design helped stores highlight displays and racks, today’s modern track lighting is geared toward sleeker, smaller fixtures that are much less noticeable. Track lighting is excellent for its flexibility and can provide ambient, task or accent lighting at an affordable price. Track lighting allows you to move, swivel, rotate and aim the individual fixtures or “heads” in any direction along the track, giving you the versatility to change up lighting schemes according to your needs. Some track systems even allow you to add-on pendant lights with special attachments.
If you’re shopping for high-end track lighting, Nora Lighting offers the best track lighting in different sizes and shapes, all at an affordable price. Engineered for safety and easy installation, Nora Lighting’s track systems will enhance your home or commercial space with a perfect mix of form and function. 120V track lighting systems can be utilized in a multitude of applications ranging from commercial to residential. When used correctly, track lighting plays up a room’s best features such as framed photos, artwork and furniture.
Track systems can be controlled with one or two circuits up to 2400W per circuit. LED track heads are available in spot, flood, wall wash, linear and indirect. Nora Lighting track components offer a tremendous amount of flexibility in configuring your system.
Nora track lights are available to adapt with the three system styles available for track lighting: Halo (H-style), Juno (J-style), and Lightolier (L-style)—designations that stem from the three main manufacturing standards. These types describe the way the tracks are wired, with each having a different configuration of electrical contacts. L-style typically displays two contacts that are less than an inch apart, whereas J-style contacts are usually a full inch apart. H-style track lighting is the only category that involves three contacts instead of two.
Nora Lighting’s one circuit and two-circuit tracks with miniature size and push-in connectors are perfect for residential or commercial use—providing versatility for every lighting application. The two-circuit track system is ideal for single or double switching, allowing greater control of intermittent illumination. Nora Lighting track systems are available in a selection of sizes finishes, and can be field cut to your desired length.
Track heads can be placed anywhere along the system and each can be customized with LED, line voltage or low voltage luminaires. LED Track heads are the conventional fixture choice for track lighting because of their range of functions—offering various beam spreads, lumens, sizes and color temperatures.
One of the biggest benefits of track lighting is that its easy to install, especially if you’re updating or replacing an existing system. No complex installations or new electrical boxes are needed. One reason why track lighting is preferred over recessed lighting is that it’s a minimally invasive process, and doesn’t require the structural remodeling that recessed lighting does.
4 Easy Track Lighting Applications
Turn your hallway into an art gallery: Mount track lights 18 to 24 inches away from the wall you’re illuminating then, position track heads at a 30-degree angle from the wall to highlight the artwork.
Create aesthetically- pleasing accent lighting: Call attention to some of your home’s most unique features like a textured wall, fireplace, or statement piece of furniture. Set up track above and fill it with heads with a narrow to medium flood, as well as spotlights to provide both accent and ambient lighting.
Raise up a low ceiling: Traditional ceiling fixtures can draw the eye downwards, making an already low ceiling appear even lower. Strategic use of track lighting can actually create the illusion of a higher ceiling because tracks are thin and subtle when paired with small track heads.
Design powerful task lighting: track lighting is a popular solution in kitchens and other workspaces thanks to its powerful, multidirectional capabilities. Mount a track of lights and aim the heads right where you need them. Use track lighting over a kitchen island to add a row of overhead spotlights.
