ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic track lighting system comprises an elongated track channel having a generally U-shaped cross-section on a longitudinal axis. The U-shaped channel has a base portion joined to the proximal edges of first and second depending legs having parallel distal edges including an inward-facing longitudinal groove along each edge. A plurality of luminaire holders have opposed edges slidably engagable into the respective inward-facing longitudinal grooves to hold a fiber optic luminaire on an optical axis parallel to, and positionable along, the longitudinal axis of the track channel. Fiber optic light guides receive light from a remote source of illumination, extend a distance within the track channel to a light-emitting end. An optical element retained in each luminaire intercepts the emitted light, producing a substantially collimated light beam along the optical axis. A mirror intercepts the collimated beam and reflects the light beam away from the optical axis and out of the channel between the depending legs. In the preferred embodiment the mirror reflecting the light beam is positionable by rotation about the optical axis of the respective luminaire and also positionable by rotation transversely to said optical axis.
