Collection: Track Heads

Track heads (also known as track light heads or track spotlights) are the individual light fittings that attach onto a track lighting rail system. Each track head can be positioned along the track and angled in different directions to provide targeted, adjustable lighting. 

Track heads are commonly used to highlight areas such as kitchen benches, artwork, hallways, retail displays, and feature walls. 

Track heads are designed to provide directional lighting and are ideal for: 

• Task lighting (kitchen work areas, reading zones, desks) 
• Accent lighting (feature walls, artwork, shelves) 
• Highlighting display areas (retail stores, showrooms, galleries) 
• Creating layered lighting in open-plan rooms 

They’re popular because you can aim the light exactly where it’s needed, unlike standard ceiling lights.  

The track head is the main component of a track lighting system, holding the light source (usually a bulb) and allowing you to control the direction of light. Its adjustable design makes track lighting highly versatile for both residential and commercial spaces.

Key Functions of Track Heads:

• Directional Lighting: Easily rotate and tilt the track head to focus light exactly where it’s needed, whether it’s illuminating artwork, highlighting architectural features, or providing task lighting.
  
• Task and Ambient Lighting: Track heads can provide focused light for activities like cooking, reading, or working, or contribute to general room lighting depending on bulb type and positioning.
  
• Accent Lighting: Perfect for creating dramatic effects or highlighting objects such as sculptures, decorative pieces, or key design elements.
  
• Design Versatility: Available in a variety of styles, finishes, and shapes to match any interior aesthetic.
  
• Spatial Flexibility: Track heads can be repositioned along the track, adapting to changing room layouts or evolving lighting needs.
  
• Commercial and Retail Use: Ideal for stores, galleries, and display areas where directional lighting enhances product visibility and draws attention to key features.
  
• Easy Installation: Typically simpler to install than traditional ceiling fixtures, offering a customizable solution without extensive work.
  

Track heads make track lighting a flexible, functional, and stylish option for virtually any space.

Track heads come in a wide range of styles, including: 

• LED Track Heads (energy-efficient and long lasting) 
• Adjustable Spotlight Track Heads (most common style) 
• Cylinder Track Heads (modern and minimalist look) 
• Decorative Track Heads (statement finishes and shapes) 
• Narrow Beam Track Heads (ideal for feature lighting) 
• Wide Beam Track Heads (better for general illumination) 

Track heads can be either: 

Built-in LED Track Heads 

• LED is integrated into the fitting 
• often slimline and modern 
• no globe replacement needed 
• long lifespan and energy efficient 

Replaceable Globe Track Heads 

• use standard LED globes (depending on fitting type) 
• easier globe replacement when needed 
• offers flexibility in brightness and colour temperature 

Yes — many track heads can be dimmable, but it depends on: 

• whether the track head (or globe) is dimmable 
• whether your home has a compatible wall dimmer 
• correct installation by a licensed electrician 

Dimmable track heads are perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, and multi-use open spaces. 

The spacing of track heads depends on your lighting needs. A general guideline is to place them about 30 cm apart, but this can vary based on the project. For example, in an art gallery or display setting, you may position heads closer together to highlight larger artworks. A practical rule of thumb is up to 3 track heads per meter of track.
