Abstract
An adjustable connector is used for positioning a track lighting fixture in a track lighting system. The adjustable connector releasably locks a track lighting fixture housing to an adapter. The adapter is connected to a track of the track lighting system. The adjustable connector includes an arcuate mount fixed to the track lighting fixture housing. A lock is releasably secured to the arcuate mount to secure the arcuate mount to the adapter to determine the selected position of the housing. Release of the lock allows the housing to be moved into another selected position. The lock secures the position of the lighting fixture housing relative to the track at a selected vertical position and a selected horizontal position simultaneously.
