Abstract

A low voltage track lighting system has a track 2 and a lamp fitting 4. The track 2 is a plastics material extrusion 7,8 with conducting rails 5 on either side. The fitting 4 has a pair of contacts 14 cam driven in the direction of arrows A for low ohmic loss contact with the rails 5. The sandwich arrange­ ment of the rails 5 on either side of a central web 7 of the extrusion 7,8 allows the compressed sandwich to resist the caming action. The contacts 14 have a shape complementary to that of the rails 5.
