Field bendable line voltage track lighting system

A track for a line voltage track lighting system comprising:

• a conductor subassembly;
• a first bendable sheath having a guide groove for slidably engaging a first portion of said conductor subassembly;
• and
• a second bendable sheath having a guide groove for slidably engaging a second portion of said conductor subassembly.

A light fixture capable of being connected to first and second conductors located in first and second slots, respectively, defined by a track of a line voltage track lighting system, said light fixture comprising:

• a track connector including a top end and a bottom end;
• said track connector defining an opening therethrough for receiving said track, such that when said track connector receives said track said track connector completely surrounds a portion of said track;
• and
• said track connector including a first contact pin for engagement with said first slot and said first conductor and a second contact pin for engagement with said second slot and said second conductor.

A track for a line voltage track lighting system comprising:

• a track having first and second lateral sides and having first and second sheaths extending longitudinally along substantially the entire length of said first and second lateral sides of said track;
• first and second conductors at least partially enclosed by insulative materials;
• said insulative materials defining first and second slots;
• said first and second slots providing access to said first and second conductors, respectively, such that a light fixture may be connected to and powered by said track;
• wherein said track is hand bendable.

A light fixture capable of being connected to a track of a line voltage track lighting system, wherein said track has first and second conductors located in first and second slots, respectively, defined by said track, said light fixture comprising:

• a track connector including a top end and a bottom end;
• said track connector defining an opening therethrough for receiving said track, such that when said track connector receives said track said track connector completely surrounds a portion of said track;
• said track connector including a first contact pin for engagement with said first slot and said first conductor and a second contact pin for engagement with said second slot and said second conductor;
• and
• wherein said track connector cannot be mounted to said track such that said first contact pin contacts said second conductor while said second contact pin contacts said first conductor.

A track for a track lighting system comprising:

• a structure having a cross-sectional profile having first, second, third and fourth sides, wherein said first and second sides are opposite each other and said third and fourth sides are opposite each other;
• an opening in each of said first and second sides, said openings providing access to electrical contacts;
• a substantially smooth surface on each of said third and fourth sides;
• and
• wherein said structure is bendable about an axis parallel to said third and fourth sides.

An electrical connector for a track lighting system, said connector comprising:

• a first housing having a first conductive portion connected to an electrical power source, said first conductive portion having at least one first conductive extension;
• a second housing having a second conductive portion having at least one second conductive extension adapted to engage with said at least one first conductive extension;
• and
• wherein said first housing and said second housing are adapted to engage with each other.
