About the The Light Source 28" Radius Black Finish Track W/5" Leg
The Light Source 28" Radius Black Finish Track with 5" Leg is a specialized curved aluminum tracking system designed for creating smooth, radiused lighting or curtain runs in architectural and theatrical installations. The core component is a track section bent to a consistent 28-inch radius, allowing for the construction of curved or circular lighting layouts that are not possible with straight track. This enables the installation of fixtures along an elegant arc for applications such as highlighting curved walls, surrounding architectural features, or creating dynamic perimeter lighting in venues like clubs, theaters, and retail spaces. The track is finished in black to provide a low-visibility, non-reflective appearance that blends discreetly into ceilings or coves.
Integral to this system is the "5" Leg," which refers to a vertical support leg or drop that attaches to the curved track at one end and to the mounting surface at the other. This leg positions the track five inches away from the ceiling or wall, creating necessary clearance for the lighting fixtures, their yokes, and the trolley carriers that move within the track. This offset is crucial for achieving the desired beam angle and preventing physical interference between the fixtures and the mounting surface. The entire assembly, including mounting hardware, is designed for secure installation, providing a rigid and stable support for the loaded track.
This product is a premium solution for custom lighting design where standard straight runs are inadequate. It combines functional engineering with aesthetic flexibility, allowing designers to implement sophisticated curved lighting schemes with professional reliability. The system is typically used in permanent or semi-permanent installations where a clean, integrated look and precise fixture positioning along a curve are required.
