Abstract
A system comprising track-mounted luminaires and track. In some embodiments, electrical power for illumination is accessed by a luminaire through electrified railing recessed within a relatively narrow slot of the track. In some embodiments, a mount is provided separately from and/or additional to the power slot; for example, a magnetic mount. Optionally luminaires are orientable to select a direction of illumination, while secured by the magnetic mount. The track is optionally mounted flush and/or recessed with a mounting surface such as a ceiling and/or wall. In some embodiments, a recessed surface of the track is formed with an arc. Optionally luminaires conform with the curvature of the arc. Additionally or alternatively, the track is at least partially masked and/or decorated, for example by plastering and/or a face plate.

A track for mounting electrically powered fixtures of a track lighting system, the track comprising:
- an elongate track housing formed from a non-magnetic material;
- a slot in and extending along a longitudinal axis of the housing comprising a first interior lateral surface and a second interior lateral surface, the two surfaces defining between them an interior volume;
- at least one electrical conductor, forming a portion of at least one of the interior lateral surfaces, and positioned to receive a lateral contact from a power contact assembly of a fixture upon insertion of the power contact assembly to the interior volume of the slot, and configured for delivery of electrical power through the contact;
- and
- magnetically attracted material extending along the track housing, and positioned to support the fixture by magnetic attraction.
