A right angle, done right
The L connector for track LCTC-L-6102-BN is the corner piece of a track lighting system. It connects two track sections at 90°, so a run can change direction without interruption. Rather than ending one track at a wall and starting another, you get a single, continuous layout that follows the architecture. Searched as an L-shaped connector, a right-angle connector or a corner joiner, it is a must for kitchens, galleries and stores with corners to light.
The track system behind it
This connector is part of a single-circuit track system for 120V applications. The spec sheet lists a system electrical rating of 20A, 120V, 60Hz, with single hot and neutral conductors rated for 20 amps per branch circuit. The track is made of extruded aluminum with flat, solid integral conductors, and its copper electrical conductors are concealed in an insulating thermoplastic cross-section. Sections are joined together with compatible track connectors, and a polarity groove on the face of the track shows where the grounding conductor is located. Besides the L connector, the system includes straight, T, X and flexible connectors for other layouts.
Installation tips
Cut the power at the breaker and have the work carried out by a qualified electrician, according to the electrical code of your province. Measure both legs of the L on the ceiling or wall and mark the exact corner before mounting anything. As you join the two sections, use the polarity groove to keep the grounding conductor on the same side through the corner. Make sure both legs sit flush and square, then install your track lighting heads and aim them toward counters, artwork or displays. You will find the spec sheet (PDF) in the Documentation tab.
Ideas for L-shaped layouts
In homes, an L-shaped run of track lighting suits L-shaped kitchens, the corner between a dining area and a living room, a home office desk set in a corner or a basement bar. In businesses, it wraps corner displays in boutiques, follows two walls of a gallery, lights the corner of a café counter or frames a reception area. The brushed nickel finish gives a warm, refined metallic look that fits transitional and contemporary interiors alike. The connector is intended for residential and commercial projects throughout Canada.
