Built on the H-type standardThe ASTELLA track system from TUROLIGHT uses the H-type, single-circuit profile — the most widely used
track rail format in North American residential and commercial lighting. The extrusion carries a 1-way circuit (P + N + PE) with copper conductors inside the channel and a polarity line printed on the rail so every adapter goes in the right way. The underside is flat and uninterrupted, which lets the section sit tight against a ceiling or wall, while the open slot runs the full 6 ft of the rail so heads can be positioned anywhere along it and re-spaced whenever the room changes.
Electrical and installation detailsThis is a
120V system, 60HZ, rated 20A, Class I, IP20 — indoor dry locations. Installation follows three steps in the supplied instructions: cut the power at the panel, position the rail over the outlet box and mark the mounting holes, then drill and fasten. On drywall or plaster, drill 5/8 mounting holes and use the toggle bolts provided; on wood surfaces, use standard #10 wood screws (not supplied). Strip 3/8 of wire and land the conductors on the screw terminals inside the live end or connector — no need to wrap the wire around the screw. Before energizing, loosen the set screws on every connector before sliding it into the open end of the rail, then tighten them, and make sure a dead end is slid into ALL open ends of the run. Local installation requirements must be respected.
Adding heads and accessoriesTo mount a lampholder, align the polarity line on the track with the one on the lampholder, push the top of the mounting adapter (the side with the contact tabs) into the track slot and turn 90°. If the adapter 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°. To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, use only fixture assemblies marked for use with TUROLIGHT track. The system also includes connectors and feeds identified in the instructions — AST-TRK-H-LEC, AST-TRK-H-EC, AST-TRK-H-XC, AST-TRK-H-LC, AST-TRK-H-TC, AST-TRK-H-SC, AST-TRK-H-FC and AST-TRK-H-MJ — so straight runs, corners and crosses can all be assembled from the same family. When joining sections, select the correct ground tab: the ground tabs on the connectors must be prepared before sliding onto the NON-GROUND conductor-side tab of the section being joined, and if the wrong tab was removed, do not use that connector, because grounding will not be maintained.

Where it works and what comes with the pageA 6 ft run is a sweet spot for a kitchen island, a dining area, a hallway gallery, a boutique display wall, a café counter, a barber or esthetics station, or a basement office where recessed cans would mean cutting the ceiling. Because the heads slide and pivot, a retail owner can re-merchandise a wall on a Sunday morning and re-aim the beams in minutes. Build longer or shorter layouts by combining this section with the
AST Track 4 ft H type white or the
AST Track 8 ft H type white, or match a dark ceiling with the
AST Track 6 ft H type black. The full installation instruction sheet for the AST-TRK models is available in the Documentation tab of this page as a technical PDF — worth printing before you climb the ladder.
