Track lights: how to choose track spotlights and parts

What is track lighting, and where does it suit?

Track lighting uses a ceiling rail carrying lights that you can slide and re-aim.

The rail fixes onto the ceiling, or hangs on wires with a suitable hanging set. It suits living room art walls, kitchens, galleries, offices, shops and showrooms. It also suits rooms with no false ceiling.

Start with what needs light: a painting, a counter, shelves or a display. Browse the track lights collection with that purpose in mind. These are indoor lights.

Which kind of track light should I choose?

Choose a fixed-beam spotlight for a set feature, or an adjustable beam when the display may change.

• COB track spotlight: a focused light head with a fixed beam, suited to art and displays. This is our largest kind of track light.
• Beam-adjustable and zoom track lights: heads that change the beam from narrow to wide. They suit displays where the area needing light changes.
• Wall-washing and linear track lights: bars or heads for spreading light across walls and shelves.
• Tunable track lights: lights that change from warm to cool, suited to rooms needing different moods.
• Designer track lights: decorative bodies for spaces where the fitting itself should be noticed.

Magnetic track is a separate low-voltage system of slim tracks with its own lights. Its ranges never mix with other ranges. Read which magnetic track to choose or browse magnetic track lights.

Which style and body colour will suit my room?

Choose a simple or decorative body first, then a finish that suits the ceiling and furniture.

Round cylinders are the usual shape. Linear bars give a longer outline, while designer bodies add a decorative detail. White and black bodies are most common, with some gold and brass designer bodies.

White suits a quiet look against a white ceiling. Black track lighting gives the rail a more visible outline. Gold or brass can echo nearby metal finishes. Options vary, check the product page.

Which track rails and parts do I need?

Choose rails and parts only after the product page and our team confirm the track kind.

Track lights fit only their own kind of track. Similar looks do not confirm a match. For planning, consider rails about 1 metre or 2 metres long. Check the head dimensions and how far it hangs below your ceiling.

• Straight connector: joins rails in a straight run.
• L connector: turns a corner; T connector: adds a branch; plus connector: makes a crossing.
• End power feed: brings power into the rail.
• Hanging set: supports a suitable rail below the ceiling.

Plan the wire point with your electrician before plaster and paint. Rails, connectors and power feeds are separate parts with their own prices.

Where should I place and aim ceiling track lights?

Place the track near what you want to light, then aim each head at that area.

For walls, art or shelves, about 60 to 90 cm from the wall is a good starting point. Try aiming the lights at about 30 degrees. Adjust the aim to suit the feature.

In shops, run tracks above display areas so heads can be re-aimed when the display changes. Share a ceiling plan showing shelves, counters and the power point before choosing the parts.

Which beam should I choose for a track spotlight?

Choose a narrow beam for a feature, a medium beam for most rooms, or a wide beam for even light.

• Narrow: about 15 to 24 degrees is a starting point for picking out art or a feature.
• Medium: about 36 degrees is a starting point for most home rooms.
• Wide: about 60 degrees or more is a starting point for spreading light more evenly.

Zoom and beam-adjustable heads let you change the spread. A tilting head changes direction; that alone does not mean its beam width changes. Options vary, check the product page.

Which light colour and watts should I choose?

Start with a light colour suited to the room, then compare watts for the intended use.

• Warm white: about 2700K to 3000K is a starting point for living rooms, bedrooms, dining and paintings.
• Neutral white: about 4000K is a starting point for kitchens, study areas and offices.
• Cool white: about 5000K to 6000K is a starting point for utility spaces and shops wanting bright white light.

Warm light also suits wood and brass finishes. Some models list CRI 90 for truer colours. Light colour options vary, check the product page.

Wattage is recorded for 47 lights: up to 10 W, 10 to 20 W, 20 to 30 W and over 30 W. As a starting point, consider the lower end for homes and the higher end for shops.

Can I dim an LED track light or change its colour?

Dimming and colour changes are available only where the product page lists the matching control.

Triac models need a matching wall dimmer. DALI models need a control system set up by an electrician or home automation installer. These options apply only where listed.

Tunable track lights change from warm to cool using a remote or phone app where listed. Ask which control comes with your selection. Read the LED driver and controls guide before planning a control system.

Questions and answers

Choose each track light by its purpose, track fit, beam and listed control.

Is a track light for living room art a useful choice?

Yes, its adjustable aim suits art walls. Choose the beam around the artwork you want to highlight.

How do I choose a track light for showroom displays?

Plan tracks above display areas and choose heads you can re-aim. Consider zoom heads if display sizes change.

What is the difference between a COB track light and a zoom track light?

A fixed-beam COB head keeps the same spread. A zoom head lets you change that spread.

Does every adjustable spotlight have an adjustable beam?

No. Check whether the adjustment means aiming the head, changing beam width, or both.

What if I want spot lights set into the ceiling instead of a rail?

For lights set into a false ceiling, see the COB downlight buying guide. Check the fitting type before ordering.

Does the track light price include the rail?

The price bands here cover light heads only. Confirm rails, connectors and power feeds separately.
