Built around the H-type standard
The ASTELLA track from TUROLIGHT is a single-circuit
H-type track rail, one of the most widely used track profiles in North American residential and light commercial work. The extrusion carries a 1-way circuit (P + N + PE) along its length, with copper conductors seated inside the channel and a polarity line marked on the rail so every lampholder is installed the same way around. The underside of the rail is flat and faces the ceiling or wall for a tight, clean mount; the open side accepts the lampholders and connectors. This SKU is the 2 ft white version,
AST-TRK-H-02-WH — the shortest length in the family and the easiest one to work into tight ceilings, soffits and short display runs.

Installation, step by step
Shut off power at the main panel before touching the track or any accessory. Position the rail over the outlet box, mark the mounting holes on the ceiling or wall, then fasten: on drywall or plaster, drill 5/8 holes and use the toggle bolts supplied; on wood, use standard #10 wood screws (not supplied). Next come the lampholders and the power feed connector — strip 3/8" of conductor and land the wires on the screw terminals inside the connector or the live end feed (no need to wrap the wire around the screw). Loosen the set screws on any connector before sliding it into the open end of the rail, and select the correct grounding tab so circuit polarity is maintained; if the wrong tab has been removed, don't use that connector, because grounding won't be maintained. Finish by sliding dead-end caps into ALL open ends of the track and tightening the set screws before powering up. Local installation requirements must be respected, and basic safety precautions always apply. Turn the main power back on and aim your heads.
Compatibility and accessories
To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, use only fixture assemblies marked for use with TUROLIGHT track. The system's connector family is designed around this rail: AST-TRK-H-LEC and AST-TRK-H-EC end feeds, AST-TRK-H-XC, AST-TRK-H-LC, AST-TRK-H-TC and AST-TRK-H-SC connectors, AST-TRK-H-FC, plus the AST-TRK-H-MJ joiner — everything you need to build straight runs, corners, T and cross layouts. Because it's
IP20, keep it to dry indoor locations. Need a longer run or a second leg? Combine this section with the
AST Track 4 ft white,
AST Track 6 ft white or
AST Track 12 ft white, or switch finishes with the
2 ft black version.
Where it earns its keep — and the paperwork
Two feet of
track lighting goes a long way over a kitchen island end, a coffee station, a hallway with two pieces of art, a home office desk or a basement bar. In commercial spaces, it's the go-to for a boutique window, a jewellery or bakery display, a salon station, a café counter or a small gallery wall where the merchandise changes every few weeks and re-aiming a head beats rewiring a ceiling. Since the rail is powered end to end, you can add a head, remove one, or re-space the whole run in minutes. The manufacturer's installation instructions and specification document for
AST-TRK are available in the Documentation tab — worth printing for the electrician before the ceiling goes up.
