What this accessory actually doesA track head throws the beam its reflector was built for — and that's not always the beam your room needs. The
AST LENS FOR 35W - WF55 is a front-mounted optical accessory for the 35W AST track head that lets you modify that beam on site, without swapping luminaires or touching the wiring. For designers, specifiers and electricians, that's a huge amount of flexibility for a very small part: one track run, one family of heads, and a box of lenses to tune each fixture to the artwork, shelf or table it's aimed at.

Installation and handlingInstallation is about as easy as lighting work gets: the lens seats at the front of the 35W AST track head, so there is no circuit to open, no driver to access and no need to drop the head off the track in most cases. Cut the power at the breaker anyway before working on a live track, let the head cool if it has been running, and handle the optic by its edges so you don't leave fingerprints in the beam path. Because the lens belongs to the same
AST track system as the head, it seats cleanly without shims or tape, and it can be removed just as quickly if the layout of the space changes.
Compatibility with the AST familyThis lens is specified for the 35W AST track head. That head runs on the AST H-type single-circuit 120V track, which comes in several lengths and two finishes so you can follow the geometry of the room:
AST track 2 ft H type white,
AST track 6 ft H type white and
AST track 12 ft H type white for bright ceilings, or the black versions such as the
AST track 2 ft H type black and the
AST track 6 ft H type black when you want the hardware to disappear against a dark or industrial ceiling. Order the lens only for 35W AST heads — other wattages and other brands of
track lighting have different front openings.
Where it makes a real differenceThink of a Montréal boutique where one track lights both a clothing rack and a cash counter, a home where the same run washes a stone fireplace and a dining table, a small gallery hanging new work every month, or a café that wants punchy light on the pastry case and gentler light on the seats. In every one of these, adding the right lens to selected
LED track heads is faster and far less disruptive than re-aiming and re-specifying the whole installation. Keep a few in the truck: they solve glare complaints on the spot.
