Connecting Your Track Lighting

Straight track joiners are offered in two ways: mini joiner and straight connectors.
Mini joiners are usually the correct choice for most applications as where the straight connectors not only connect tracks but also have a knockout that allows this component to double as a power feed. Mini joiners are the cleaner look and my recommendation for straight connecting of the track.

Flexible connectors add bulk to the system but allows for connection of tracks to any angle up to 90 degrees or wall to ceiling or pitched ceiling applications.

“L” connectors allow for a 90 degree angle in tracks. Most “L” connectors have a knockout that allows power access. Most “L” connectors are field adjustable for left and right hand applications.

“T” and “X” connectors also are quite popular in the commercial lighting world as well as the home. Again, these components have a central knockout making these connectors double as a power feed. “T” connectors are field adjustable for left or right hand applications.
