Track Lighting System


A track lighting system is an aluminium track with copper conductors inside, plus fixtures with an adapter that clip in anywhere along the run. A fixture can be moved, added or removed without an electrician or new wiring, which is why track lighting is the choice for stores, supermarkets, showrooms and offices where layouts and displays change regularly.

Why a three-circuit TRACK-3F system

  • Three independent circuits in one track: fixtures are split into three groups switched separately, for example general light, display accents and night lighting after closing.
  • Balanced load: on large sites the power is spread across three circuits instead of overloading one.
  • Standard adapter: TRACK-3F is compatible with fixtures from international manufacturers that use this adapter type.
  • Flexibility for years: when the store concept changes, fixtures are repositioned in minutes while the track stays in place.

Track system components

TRACK-3F three-circuit track system components: track, feeder, end cap, connectors

  1. 1. TRACK-3F track: 1, 2 and 3 m sections in black or white, joined into a run of any length.
  2. 2. Power feeder: brings the supply cable into the track at the end of the run.
  3. 3. End cap: closes the end of the track and protects the conductors.
  4. 4. Short straight connector: joins two sections in line.
  5. 5. Long straight connector: also joins two sections, in a longer housing.
  6. 6. Corner connector: turns the run by 90°. A flexible connector covers non-standard angles.

Mounting and colour

The track mounts directly to the ceiling or hangs on cables. The profile takes a mechanical load of up to 20 kg per metre, and up to 10 kg can hang from a single adapter. Under an open ceiling with trusses, cable suspension brings fixtures closer to the shelving while the ceiling itself stays dark. Black track almost disappears on a dark ceiling, white on a light one. If the interior calls for another colour, we paint the track and connectors in RAL together with the fixtures.

Which fixtures go on the track

  • SHOOTER-S: compact spotlights for offices, lounges and boutiques.
  • SHOOTER-M: the main series for apparel and footwear stores and showrooms.
  • SHOOTER-L: powerful spotlights for supermarkets and high ceilings.
  • PARALLEL panel lights: general light above the aisles straight from the track.

All spotlights come in 3F adapter versions, some with DALI for dimming and scenes. See the full range on the track lights page.

Track system FAQ

How is three-circuit track different from single-circuit?

single-circuit track has one supply circuit, so all fixtures switch together. three-circuit track has three independent circuits: fixtures can be grouped and the load balanced. three-circuit is the better choice for stores and supermarkets.

How many fixtures can one track carry?

TRACK-3F three-circuit track is rated for up to 16 A per circuit, roughly 3.6 kW per circuit and up to 11 kW per run from one power feed. For example, one circuit can in theory carry about 120 SHOOTER-L spotlights at 30 W, but in the design we leave headroom for driver inrush current and spread the fixtures evenly across the circuits. We calculate the exact number, feed points and circuit breakers in the lighting design.

How do I work out how much track I need?

The run length follows the fixture layout. On top of the track you need feeders, end caps and a connector for every joint and turn, plus suspensions for cable mounting. We prepare the full specification with the project.

We will prepare a lighting design project, select the track and fixtures and handle turnkey installation. See track sections in three-circuit tracks.
