Pendant and track lighting

Ceiling points are rarely where furniture ends up. Pendants and track systems move light to where it is needed.

Many homes have a single ceiling point in the middle of each room. Dining tables, kitchen islands and seating rarely sit there. Pendants can be repositioned with a new ceiling point or a swag arrangement, and track systems let several adjustable spotlights run from one supply point.

Installation guides cover what a fitting or appliance needs from the electrics before it goes on the wall or ceiling.

In apartments with concrete ceilings, track lighting is often the practical way to add light without chasing the slab. In villas with false ceilings, new points can be added more easily. Heights, glare and switching are planned around the furniture layout.

04Questions

Questions people ask

Can track lighting be dimmed?
Many systems can, with compatible lamps and dimmers.
How low should a dining pendant hang?
Low enough to light the table without blocking views; it depends on the fitting.
Is track lighting suitable for rentals?
Often, as it can be removed and the ceiling point reused.
Can a heavy pendant hang from a track?
Only if the track system is rated for it.
