Accent Lighting


For lighting objects on a wall, the wall itself, or any vertical surface, position the track and the fixtures as shown at right.

  1. Generally, fixtures should be aimed at a 30 degree angle from the vertical to prevent light from shining in anyone's eyes and to avoid disturbing reflections on the surface of the object. Usually, one fixture is required for each object being accented.
  2. Measure the distance ("B" to "C") from wall, on ceiling as shown in the table below.
  3. Mount track at "Location" ("A" to "B") from wall, on ceiling, as shown in the table

    (Example: The distance from the ceiling to the center of the painting is 4 ft. Mount the track on the ceiling 27" away from the wall.)


    A to B Location

    B to C Distance
