Give your lighting the freedom to move exactly where you need it. The AST TRACK - 8 FT - H TYPE - 1 CIRCUIT - 120V - WHITE is an 8-foot section of the TUROLIGHT ASTELLA track system — what most people simply call a track rail, lighting track or rail d'éclairage — designed to carry adjustable track light heads and linear pendants along one continuous run. Its H-type, single-circuit format is the classic, widely used track profile, so you can slide in heads, aim them at art, shelving or a kitchen island, and re-aim them a year later when the room changes. One long 8 ft run replaces a row of fixed fixtures and gives you a clean, modern ceiling line in white that blends into most drywall and plaster finishes.

This track runs on 120V, 60Hz and is rated 20A, giving you plenty of headroom to load several heads on a single circuit. It is a 1-circuit (single circuit) H-type track, wired as a 1-way system (P + N + PE) with a full ground path, and it is classified Class I, IP20 for dry indoor use. The 8 ft length keeps joints to a minimum on long walls and open-plan ceilings, and the white finish matches typical ceiling paint. The underside of the rail carries clear polarity lines so lampholders always seat the right way: align the polarity marks, push the adapter's contact tabs into the slot and twist 90° — and to remove a head, press the release lever and turn 90° back. For safety, only fixture assemblies marked for use with TUROLIGHT track should be installed on it, and local installation requirements must be respected.

Track like this earns its keep in kitchens, living rooms, hallways, finished basements and home offices, and just as much in boutiques, galleries, cafés, salons, showrooms and small offices where displays move constantly. Because the ASTELLA family shares the same H-type single-circuit profile, SKU AST-TRK-H-08-WH joins straight onto other white sections such as the AST track 4 ft H type white, the AST track 2 ft H type white and the AST track 12 ft H type white using the system's connectors, and a matching AST track 8 ft H type black is available when you'd rather the rail disappear against a dark ceiling. Plan your run, pick your heads, and build the lighting layout your space actually needs.

Documentation

A single-circuit H-type track built for long, clean runs
The ASTELLA track system from TUROLIGHT uses the familiar H-type track profile: an extruded channel with copper conductors seated inside and an open end that accepts connectors and feeds. This 8 ft white section is a 1-circuit track rail, meaning every head you mount on it switches together — the simplest and most common configuration for homes and small commercial rooms. The flat underside of the rail faces the ceiling or wall during mounting, and the open, elongated side of the track face stays exposed to accept lampholders and track lighting heads. Because it's a one-way system (P + N + PE), grounding is carried right through the rail and its connectors.

Installation, step by step
Start by shutting off power at the main source (the panel or fuse box) before installing any track or accessory. Place the rail over the outlet box and mark the rail's mounting hole positions on the ceiling or wall. On drywall or plaster, drill 5/8 holes and secure the track with the toggle bolts supplied; on wood surfaces, use standard #10 wood screws (not supplied). Then install the lampholders and the power feed: cut and strip the box wires — 3/8 of stripping — and fasten them to the screw terminals in the live connector or end feed; there's no need to wrap the wire around the screw. Finally, restore power. Loosen the set screws on any connector before sliding it into the open end of the rail, and tighten them afterward.

Polarity, joints and fire-safety details
When joining sections, the ground tabs on the connectors must be prepared before sliding onto the NON-GROUND conductor-side tab of the track section you're joining, so circuit polarity is maintained; if the wrong tab has been removed, do not use that connector, because grounding will not be maintained. Some connector tabs show copper on both sides and others copper on one face only — cut before insertion as shown in the instructions and respect the insertion direction. To reduce the risk of fire, once all rails and connectors are correctly installed, make sure a dead-end fitting is slid into every open end of the track and the set screws are tightened before energizing. And to reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, use only fixture assemblies marked for use with TUROLIGHT track.

Where it works, and what it pairs with
An 8 ft run is a sweet spot: long enough to light a kitchen peninsula, a gallery wall, a retail display bay, a reception desk or a boutique's back wall, short enough to handle alone on a ladder. Combine it with shorter sections to fit an exact wall length or to turn a corner with the system's connectors — the white AST track 2 ft H type, AST track 6 ft H type and AST track 12 ft H type all share the same H-type single-circuit profile, and black versions such as the AST track 8 ft H type black let you match a darker ceiling. The installation instructions and full details are in the technical PDF (AST-TRK-H-08-WH Spec Sheet) available in the Documentation tab — worth printing before you climb up.
