ABSTRACT:
A low voltage track lighting system includes a flexible power track and one or more light fixtures removably attachable to the track for energization. The track has an elongated support member of an electrical insulating material, the support member being generally I-shaped, defining lateral electrical conductor-receiving channels, the conductors being flat strips extending on-end along the sides of the support member and exposed therealong, the conductor orientation enabling the power track to be bent in a horizontal plane, but not in a vertical plane. Each light fixture includes a power head connector including a two-piece housing including a base member which mounts a pair of contacts and a slide member adapted to slide along the outer surface of the base member and drive the contacts into engagement with the track conductors to mechanically and electrically connect the light fixture to the power track which is electrically connected to a source of power through a transformer module which is hard-wired to the power source or adapted for mounting with an existing recessed light housing and provided with a male socket adapter which is screwed into the lamp socket within the recessed housing.
