Abstract
The present invention is an improved low voltage track lighting system. The system includes a flat track which may be bent. The track has a flat insulator base with opposed flat sides. The depth of the base is greater than its thickness. A thin flat electrical conductor is fixed to each of the flat sides of the base forming conductors on opposite sides of the base. A step down transformer is adapted to be connected to a source of electric power. A feed mount is adapted to be fixed to a supporting surface to be held by the supporting surface. An electric conductive path in the feed mount is connected to each conductor and to the step down transformer, so that each of the conductors is connected to the step down transformer. An adapter is supported on the track and is in electric contact with each of the conductors of the track. A low voltage lamp is supported on the adapter and in electric contact with the adapter to be energized by an electric current from the step down transformer.
