Need a long, clean run of track lighting that lets you aim light exactly where you want it? The AST TRACK - 12 FT - H TYPE - 1 CIRCUIT - 120V - BLACK from TUROLIGHT is a 12-foot section of the ASTELLA track rail system, the backbone that carries and powers your track light heads. People call it a lighting track, a track bar, a rail for spots or simply a commercial LED track lighting system — it is all the same idea: one continuous channel screwed to the ceiling or wall, into which you clip as many compatible heads or linear pendants as your layout calls for. Slide a fixture, twist 90°, and it locks in and lights up. Move it six inches next month and nothing gets patched, painted or rewired. That flexibility is why track keeps winning in kitchens, retail floors, galleries and open offices.

This is the H-type, single-circuit version, rated 120V, 60Hz, 20A, Class I, IP20, wired as a 1-way circuit (P + N + PE) with a full ground path maintained through the connectors. The SKU is AST-TRK-H-12-BK and the finish is black — the shade that disappears against dark ceilings, exposed joists and painted ductwork, or that reads as a deliberate graphic line on a white ceiling. At 12 ft, it is the longest run in the family, so you cover a big room or a long merchandising wall with fewer joints and a cleaner look. Mounting is straightforward: mark the fixing holes, use the supplied toggle bolts in drywall or plaster (5/8 holes), or standard #10 wood screws into solid wood. Live feed connectors and dead-end caps slide into the open ends and lock with set screws.

Twelve feet of H-type track earns its keep over a kitchen island, along a retail display wall, in a showroom, a restaurant, a café, a hair salon, an art studio or a finished basement — anywhere a Canadian homeowner or contractor wants one power feed to serve many adjustable heads. It accepts fixture assemblies marked for use with TUROLIGHT track, and it joins or mixes with the rest of the ASTELLA family: the AST track 2 ft H type black, the AST track 4 ft H type black and the AST track 6 ft H type black for shorter spans, or the AST track 12 ft H type white when the ceiling is pale. Plan your run, add it to your order, and start aiming light where it actually matters.

Built as the backbone of your lighting plan
The ASTELLA Track System is a surface-mounted rail that carries power along its full length and lets compatible lampholders tap into it anywhere. This 12 ft section is the H-type, single-circuit format: the open side of the track faces the room, the plain underside sits flat against the ceiling or wall, and polarity lines printed on the rail and on each adapter tell you instantly which way a head goes in. To attach a lampholder, align the polarity line on the rail with the one on the holder, push the top of the mounting adapter with its contact tabs into the slot, and turn 90°. If it does not turn easily, do not force it — turn the other way. To remove a head, press the release lever with your index finger and turn 90°. That is the whole operation, no tools, no ladder gymnastics.

Electrical and installation details
The track runs on 120V, 60Hz, 20A, is Class I and carries an IP20 rating, so it belongs in dry indoor spaces. It is a 1-way circuit with phase, neutral and protective earth (P + N + PE). Always shut off the main breaker at the panel before installing track or accessories. Place the rail over the outlet box, mark the mounting holes on the ceiling or wall, then drill: in drywall or plaster, 5/8 holes with the supplied toggle bolts; in solid wood, standard #10 wood screws (not supplied). For the wiring connections, cut and strip the box wires to 3/8 and secure them to the screw terminals inside the live feed or end connector — no need to wrap the wire around the screw. Local installation requirements must be respected, so a licensed electrician is the right call for the feed.

Connectors, polarity and safety
Before sliding any connector into an open end, loosen its set screws. Select the correct grounding tab: to maintain circuit polarity, the ground tabs on the connectors must be prepared before sliding onto the NON-GROUND conductor-side tab of the track section you are joining. If the wrong tab has been removed, do not use that connector, because grounding will no longer be maintained. Once all rails and connectors are properly installed, slide a dead-end cap into EVERY open end of the track and tighten the set screws before energizing — this is the step that keeps fingers and debris out of a live channel. To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, use only fixture assemblies marked for use with TUROLIGHT track.

Applications, compatibility and documentation
Twelve feet gives you room to build a real layout: five or six adjustable heads washing a gallery wall, a line of linear pendants over a restaurant bar or a kitchen island, accent heads over retail gondolas, or a long run down the middle of a basement workshop. Because the whole run sits on one feed, a single switch or dimmer circuit controls the group while each head stays independently aimable. The dedicated connector range lets you turn corners and extend the layout — live end feed, end cap, X, L, T and straight joiners, plus the mounting accessories listed above — and you can splice in shorter sections such as the AST track 4 ft H type black or the AST track 6 ft H type black to hit an exact dimension. White ceilings are better served by the matching AST track 8 ft H type white or the 12 ft white version. The installation instructions for the AST-TRK series, with the connector diagrams and mounting steps described above, are in the Documentation tab as a technical PDF — worth printing before you go up the ladder.
