Abstract

An electronic track lighting system comprises a power supply filter circuit having an input connected to an alternating current power supply AC, a rectifier circuit connected to an output of the power supply filter circuit, an inverter circuit connected to an output of the rectifier circuit and outputting a high frequency voltage by on/off operation of switching elements therein, a lamp load, and a power track providing supply voltage to the lamp load. The lighting system further comprises a first unit which is interposed between the AC power supply and an input of the power track and includes at least the power supply filter circuit, and a second unit which is provided as a structure independent from the first unit, is connected to the power track and outputs a high frequency voltage to the lamp load.
