Branch out without a second trackA straight rail lights a straight line. As soon as your room has an island, an alcove, a side wall or a change of direction, a
T connector for track lets the
track lighting follow. It joins three rail sections at one point: two continue in line with each other, while the third leaves at the side to form a T. One layout, several zones, and a single coherent line of
track rail on the ceiling instead of scattered, disconnected tracks. It is designed for residential and commercial projects, from a condo living room to a busy retail floor.
How to plan itStart with the zones you want to light and the path that links them. Draw the main run first, then the branch, and mark the junction: that is where the T connector sits. List the sections needed on each arm, then add the pieces for the ends of the layout, such as the right end connector or the end connector and track plate of the LCTC family. Keep in mind that each arm can carry its own
track light heads, so decide how many you want on the branch. If you are extending an existing installation, make sure this connector suits the
track profile already in place.
InstallationSwitch off the breaker before starting. Assemble the three sections at the connector, check that each joint is firm and that the branch is square to the main run, then fasten the track following your system's instructions. A laser level or a chalk line on the ceiling helps keep a
branched layout perfectly straight. When the connection to the electrical supply is involved, have it done by a
licensed electrician: it is the safe choice, at home as in a business.
Versions and ideasNeed another version for a different part of the project? See the
T connector for track LCTC-T-6103-BK or the
T connector for track LCTC-T-6103-WH. A few ideas: a branch toward a reading chair in a condo living room, a main run over a bar with a branch over the host station, a branch over the cash counter of a
boutique, or a branch that brings light into a walk-in closet off a bedroom. Each of these layouts starts with the same simple junction, placed exactly where the room changes direction.
