About the The Light Source 96 Radius Black Finish Track w/5" legs
The Light Source 96 Radius Black Finish Track is a large-format curved aluminum track section engineered for creating sweeping, dramatic arcs within professional architectural and theatrical lighting grids. With a generous 96-inch (8-foot) radius, this track enables the construction of very broad curves and large circular segments, making it ideal for defining the perimeter of spacious venues, framing large stages, or creating encompassing lighting environments in arenas, large houses of worship, and expansive retail atriums. The black finish, applied as a durable powder coat or anodization, provides a corrosion-resistant surface that blends discreetly against dark ceilings, minimizing visual intrusion and focusing attention on the lighting effect rather than the infrastructure. Fabricated from high-strength aluminum alloy, the track is designed to support significant loads across its long, curved span without sagging, ensuring the structural integrity of the entire lighting system.
An integral feature of this product is the inclusion of 5-inch legs permanently attached at intervals along the track. These legs serve the crucial function of elevating the track away from the mounting surface, such as a ceiling deck or structural support. This elevation creates essential clearance for the yokes and clamps of attached lighting fixtures to pan and tilt freely without obstruction. Furthermore, the space beneath the track forms a protected raceway for the organized routing of numerous electrical power cables, data lines for DMX or ethernet, and other associated cabling, promoting a clean and safe installation while simplifying maintenance and future changes. The legs are equipped with mounting holes for secure bolting to the building's structure, guaranteeing a rigid and code-compliant overhead installation.
Compatible with standard theatrical carriers and clamps, this track allows lighting fixtures to be positioned and repositioned at any point along its extensive curve. When combined with straight segments and other radii, it provides lighting designers and installers with the geometric flexibility to realize ambitious, large-scale lighting layouts. The Light Source 96 Radius Black Finish Track with 5-inch legs is a premium solution for projects requiring both a bold architectural statement and the robust functionality of a professional lighting grid, where scale, performance, and aesthetic integration are of paramount importance.
