Light assembly connector for insertion into a lighting track

A method of using a lighting assembly connector configured for being inserted into both a curved lighting track and a straight lighting track, the lighting assembly connector comprising:

• a casing having a width defining a lateral direction and a length defining longitudinal direction, the length being greater than or equal to the width, the casing including a first side defining an end face of the lighting assembly connector for facing away from a light source connected to the lighting assembly connector;
• a plurality of electrical contacts extending out of the casing each configured for contacting a respective line of the curved lighting track or the straight lighting track;
• and
• at least one fastener connected to the casing configured for removably connecting the lighting assembly connector to the curved lighting track or the straight lighting track,
• the method comprising:
• inserting the light assembly connector into the curved lighting track, the curved lighting track including a base wall and two side walls extending away from the base wall, the inserting of the light assembly connector including pressing the first side of the light assembly connector in between the side walls and toward the base wall of the curved lighting track, the pressing causing the at least one fastener to connect the lighting assembly connector to the curved lighting track;
• powering the light source via the curved lighting track;
• inserting the light assembly connector into the straight lighting track, the straight lighting track including a base wall and two side walls extending away from the base wall, the inserting of the light assembly connector including pressing the first side of the light assembly connector in between the side walls and toward the base wall of the straight lighting track, the pressing causing the at least one fastener to connect the lighting assembly connector to the straight lighting track;
• and
• powering the light source via the straight lighting track.

A track lighting system comprising:

• a curved lighting track section;
• a straight lighting track section;
• two identical lighting assembly connectors including a first lighting assembly connector for being inserted into the curved lighting track section, and a second lighting assembly connector for being inserted into the straight lighting track section, each of the two lighting assembly connectors comprising:
• a casing being electrically insulating, the casing including a first side defining an end face of the lighting assembly connector for facing away from a light source connected to the lighting assembly connector;
• a plurality of electrical contacts extending out of the casing each configured for contacting a respective line of the curved lighting track or the straight lighting,
• the first lighting assembly connector being configured such that the lighting assembly connector is connectable to the curved lighting track by pressing of the lighting assembly end face-first into the curved lighting track,
• the second lighting assembly connector being configured such that the lighting assembly connector is connectable to the straight lighting track by pressing of the lighting assembly end face-first into the straight lighting track.
