Monorail Lighting Systems: Flexible, Curved, and Low-Voltage

Monorail lighting is a highly versatile, low-voltage lighting system characterized by its hand-bendable track that can be shaped to follow the contours of any space. This unique flexible track lighting solution allows you to transcend the limitations of rigid tracks, creating custom curves and artistic configurations. Our Monorail Lighting Systems offer a truly custom, high-end look for contemporary and modern spaces.

The Power of Flexibility: Curved Track Lighting

The defining feature of monorail is its flexible track lighting rail. Unlike standard track systems, the rail of a monorail lighting system is made from easily malleable material, allowing it to be shaped and bent into sweeping curves and unique designs on site. This capacity for curved track lighting transforms the fixture from a utility item into an architectural element, making it a perfect match for irregularly shaped rooms or to draw attention to specific ceilings and walls. This flex track lighting adaptability is why monorail is the choice for custom projects.

Low-Voltage Design and Transformer Requirement

Monorail lighting systems operate on a safe, low-voltage (typically 12V or 24V) current, which requires a separate transformer to step down the standard household 120V line voltage. This low-voltage operation provides two key benefits:

1. Safety: It is safer to handle and work with during installation and adjustment.
2. Aesthetics: The lower power requirement allows for smaller, more discreet fixture heads and a wider selection of elegant, decorative monorail track lighting pendants.

The necessary transformers can be mounted remotely (hidden in a closet or above the ceiling) or integrated directly into the track canopy.

Monorail Lighting Fixtures and Applications

The modular nature of monorail lighting allows for the integration of various lighting elements:

• Pendants: Elegant monorail track lighting pendants are perfect for providing concentrated light over kitchen islands, dining tables, or in reception areas.
• Spotlights/Heads: Small, focused spotlights (often LED track heads) can be positioned along the monorail track lighting rail to highlight artwork or display cabinets with precision.
• Applications: Due to its customizability, monorail is ideal for high-end residential living areas, retail displays, art galleries, and spaces with sloped or vaulted ceilings where traditional fixtures might struggle.

Monorail vs. Traditional Track Lighting

Monorail track lighting stands out with key differences compared to traditional H, J, and L systems:

• Voltage: Monorail systems run on a safe, energy-efficient 12V or 24V low-voltage system, which requires a transformer to step down the power. Traditional track lighting uses a standard 120V line voltage.
• Flexibility: The track on a monorail lighting system is highly flexible and can be shaped into curves (curved track lighting), while a traditional track is a straight, rigid rail.
• Aesthetics: Monorail lighting heads and pendants come in a vast array of decorative and modern styles, often featuring smaller profiles that make the system a design feature in itself.
