Track Lighting
Track Lighting pairs a stretch ceiling with a surface-mounted rail system. Spotlights slide and pivot along the track, so the light layout can be repositioned anytime as the room changes.
Overview
What Is Track Lighting?
Track Lighting mounts a slim rail directly onto a fresh stretch ceiling, with individual spotlights that slide, pivot and can be added or removed along its length. Unlike fixed recessed lighting, the whole layout can be rearranged after installation — for a new furniture layout, a rotating art piece, or simply more or less light.
- ✓Fully repositionable — slide or add spotlights anytime, no rewiring needed
- ✓Aim individual heads exactly where light is needed — art, counters, seating
- ✓Magnetic track options allow swapping fixture styles without tools
- ✓Pairs with any stretch ceiling finish — matte, satin or gloss
