Abstract
A lighting track system for mounting to a vertical wall includes an elongated channel in the form of an inverted U with a horizontal web having an upper surface and connecting two depending legs, the channel retaining one or more electrical conductors extending therethrough, insulated from each other and the channel, and accessable for electrical connection from the open side of the channel. At least one of the vertical legs of the channel has an upstanding or depending flange that is provided with screws for attachment of the track to a vertical wall. An external source of power is connected to the electrical conductors, and one or more lighting fixture connectors mechanically attach and electrically connect to the track at any point along its length. In a preferred embodiment the track has a depending flange that terminates in an upturned lip for the support of suspended objects, such as paintings, wall hangings and drapes. An alternate preferred embodiment has both upstanding and depending vertical flanges for wall attachment.
