A track light is a rail fixed to the ceiling that powers a row of movable spotlights, so you can aim light exactly where it's needed. We carry magnetic track systems and track spotlights from MASCON for homes, shops and offices, at our Periyamedu showroom.
What is a track light?
A ceiling rail carries power to several fittings along the same run.
Slide a spotlight along the rail or change its angle to light a different part of the room.
Use a standard track for adjustable spots, or a magnetic system if you also want linear lights and pendants on the same rail.

How much does it cost?
It depends on the track type, the length and the number of spotlights.

False ceiling or plain ceiling?
-
False ceiling
A recessed track sits flush in a channel. Plan it before the false ceiling closes.
-
Plain ceiling
A surface track fastens directly to the finished ceiling and sits just below it.
-
High ceiling
A suspended track hangs on cables, bringing the lights closer to the area you want to light.
Where do track lights work best?
-
Living rooms
Spots on art and a feature wall, so the room has depth instead of flat light.
-
Kitchens
Light aimed right at the counter, where you chop and cook.
-
Shops and showrooms
Re-aim the spots when displays change, without calling an electrician.
-
Offices and studios
Flexible light that moves with the desks, without new wiring.
Questions people ask
A spotlight is the light itself. A track light is a spotlight that clips onto a powered rail, so it can slide and turn.
No. Surface tracks fit any finished ceiling. A false ceiling is only needed if you want the track flush.
Yes. Slide them along the track or swap heads without calling an electrician.
Yes. They light art, walls and seating separately, so the room never looks flat.
It depends on what you're lighting. One spot per piece of art or display, plus enough for general light. A 2m track in a living room usually carries three to five.
Yes. Some spots, like Lucchino, mount on a track or directly on the wall, and magnetic tracks can turn from ceiling to wall with corner joints.
Good to know before you buy
Measure the run first
Note the length of each wall or ceiling line you want to light. Tracks come in 1m and 2m pieces and join for longer runs, so the measurement decides the parts list. Bring it to the showroom with a photo of the ceiling.
Check the ceiling type
A false ceiling lets you recess the track so it sits flush. A plain concrete slab needs a surface or suspended track. If you're still at the false-ceiling stage, decide now, because recessed tracks are hard to add once the ceiling is closed.
Pick the beam for the job
Narrow beams of 24° to 38° pick out art, niches and products. Wider beams of 45° and above light a counter or a table. Mixing two beam widths on one track gives a room depth without extra fittings.
Think about tomorrow
The best thing about track lighting is that it changes with you. Move the furniture, change a display, add a pendant later. Choose a system with room to grow, and size the driver with some headroom.
Common mistakes to avoid
Pointing every spot straight down
Track spots are made to be aimed. Angle them at walls, art and counters, so the light lands on something worth seeing.
Running the track down the middle of the room
A track about 600mm to 900mm from the wall lights the wall and whatever hangs on it. Down the centre, it mostly lights the floor.
Mixing colour temperatures on one track
Keep every head on the same colour. One cool spot among warm ones stands out for the wrong reasons.
