Architectural Track Lighting

How many supports do I need for a typical track system?

A good rule of thumb is to have enough supports to prevent any bowing, curving, or hazardous situations. For example an 8ft track should have at least 3 supports so that it’s mounted to a surface securely. All surface treatments should be considered when installing a track system because support systems will vary. Some ceiling treatments will create a challenge when installing a track system and might need additional components to securely support it. But, keep in mind that a lot of track systems are extremely versatile with many ceiling treatments thus making it easier to install than one might hope for.

Things to consider before installing a track system:

• always consider the weight of the track, lamp and fixture
• ceiling height is crucial, any height higher than 9 ft will surely need longer rods
