1. A track and magnetic luminaire, comprising:
- a track frame supporting a non-energized mounting bar and a separate electrical conductor, both said mounting bar and said electrical conductor extending longitudinally along the length of said track frame, said electrical conductor in electrical communication with a low voltage power supply adjacent to said track frame;
an insulator sleeve surrounding at least a portion of said electrical conductor and mounted within said track frame in a track channel with said electrical conductor, said insulator sleeve exposing at least a portion of said electrical conductor for electrical communication with said low voltage power supply;
a magnetic luminaire magnetically repositionable on said track frame, said magnetic luminaire having a first and a second contact, said first contact electrically contacting said electrical conductor of said track frame, said second contact of said magnetic luminaire contacting said track frame;
said magnetic luminaire further having at least one magnet in corresponding alignment with said mounting bar of said track frame to magnetically support said magnetic luminaire on said track frame;
said magnetic luminaire further having an LED light source, said LED light source in electrical communication with said first electrical contact of said magnetic luminaire;
said LED light source allowing heat dissipation and transfer from said LED light source to said magnetic luminaire, said magnetic luminaire having a heat sink housing allowing heat to be readily dissipated from said magnetic luminaire;
wherein said magnetic luminaire is separated from said track frame by a sufficient distance to allow air flow between said magnetic luminaire and said support bar and around said at least one magnet retained within said magnetic luminaire.

Abstract
A magnetic track and lighting system is described. The present magnetic luminaire attaches to a track through magnetic connectors and provides easy mobility of the luminaires on the track without necessary mechanical attachment mechanisms. The magnetic luminaire incorporates the utilization of LED sources and provides in its design cooling and heat dissipation by the interface between the magnetic luminaire and the track.
