About the The Light Source 60 Radius Mill Finish Track w/5" legs
The Light Source 60 Radius Mill Finish Track is a fundamental component for constructing curved or arched sections in professional theatrical and architectural lighting grid systems. This track is specifically engineered with a consistent 60-inch radius, allowing installers and designers to create smooth, sweeping curves rather than sharp angles, which is essential for specific venue designs like theaters with rounded prosceniums, nightclubs with circular bars or stages, or architectural spaces requiring elegant, non-linear lighting layouts. The "Mill Finish" refers to the aluminum's raw, unfinished appearance as it comes from the extrusion process, providing a clean, industrial aesthetic that can be painted or left as-is to match the surrounding architecture. This track is designed to be incredibly robust, constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy to support the significant weight of multiple lighting fixtures, cabling, and potential scenic elements without bending or sagging over time.
A key feature of this product is the inclusion of integrated 5-inch legs. These legs are welded or otherwise permanently affixed to the track section at regular intervals, providing stable, vertical support points that elevate the track off the underlying structure, such as a ceiling grid or a truss. This elevation is crucial for several reasons: it allows for the neat routing of electrical cabling and data lines underneath the track, it provides necessary clearance for the yoke or clamp of lighting fixtures to rotate freely without obstruction, and it facilitates airflow around the fixtures to aid in heat dissipation. The legs are designed with mounting holes to securely bolt the entire track assembly to the building's structural supports, ensuring a rigid and safe installation that meets all relevant safety codes for overhead loads.
This track system is compatible with standard theatrical hardware, allowing lighting fixtures to be attached via standard C-clamps or specialized sliding carriers. Its design enables the creation of continuous, electrically grounded raceways for power distribution when used with compatible accessories. The Light Source 60 Radius Mill Finish Track with 5-inch legs is a specialized but critical solution for custom lighting installations, providing both the structural integrity required for heavy-duty use and the geometric flexibility needed to realize complex, curved lighting designs in permanent or semi-permanent settings.
