Abstract
A tracklight system includes an elongated an elongated metallic track generally in the shape of a U, having a base and first and second parallel depending legs with proximal ends extending from the base of the U and having distal ends terminating in a common plane. An elongated insulator is attached to one of the depending legs and having longitudinal slots therein including electrical conductors. Track fixtures each include a fixture adapter attaching a luminaire to the track with an incandescent or gas-discharge luminaire disposed within the track U, substantially between the common plane of the legs and the base of the U. In a preferred embodiment the fixture adapter includes a swivel that permits the luminaire to pivot out of the track aim a light beam in azimuth and elevation.
