Track in indoor spaces forms the basis for variable, flexible lighting that adapts to the changing designs and uses of the room. ERCO offers three track systems: Minirail 48V track for low voltage, ERCO track for mains voltage and the Hi-trac system with indirect illumination. Singlets are available for individual luminaires. These are available as a 48V version and for mains voltage as well as for flush and surface mounting.
You're aiming for lighting design that focuses on variability? You'd like to position luminaires independently of the fixed ceiling outlets? Our track allows you to mount spotlights, downlights and wallwashers in the track without tools and move them flexibly. Free up the alignment of your lighting from rigid mounting points and design flexibly. ERCO track can be mounted almost anywhere: on ceilings, vertically on walls and even in furniture – flush-mounted, surface-mounted or suspended. Don't be limited. Control your luminaires in the ERCO track wirelessly, e.g. with Casambi Bluetooth, or wired, for example via phase dimming.
With a width of only 7/8” , Minirail 48V track forms the infrastructure for miniaturized low voltage spotlights.

Hi-trac is a 2 7/8" (72mm) high profile, optionally with indirect lighting, for suspended mounting. The system enables more weight in the track and wide pendant distances. The ERCO track is located within the Hi-trac profile.
Installation: suspended
Profile dimensions (WxH): 1 1/2" x 2 7/8" (38 x 72mm)
Control: wireless, wired, interfaces for all control types

Track can be easily mounted to ceilings and walls as a surface-mounted variant. The low installed height of only 5/8" (16mm) with Minirail 48V and 1 3/8" (34mm) with classic track ensures a calm and tidy ceiling appearance
Track for 48V as well as for mains voltage can be elegantly recessed into the ceiling. A plaster trim profile is available as an accessory for flush installation. Flanged track, i.e. special track with lateral support surfaces, are ideal for installation in suspended ceiling panels.
Track can be suspended from the ceiling with use of accessories. The fine wire suspension is also ideal for suspending track from sloping ceilings. Mounting on a pendant tube allows the track to be loaded with up to 44lbs of weight, and the pendant tube prevents the track from tilting if loaded on one side.
If your lighting design includes one or more fixed mounting points, then we recommend using the appropriate singlet for low voltage and mains voltage as a recessed or surface-mounted variant. The ERCO singlet allows you to mount spotlights with a turning adapter in a particularly elegant way.
As a rule of thumb for a suitable distance to the wall in museums, you can assume around 1/3 of the room height. This is the ideal method of illuminating paintings on walls without casting strong shadows.
The miniaturized Minirail 48V track is suitable for small exhibits or display cases. ERCO track with mains voltages are ideal for almost all lighting tasks.
Use track for more than just the power supply of luminaires. You can suspend signage and objects using separately available hooks.
Track downlights illuminate office workplaces in compliance with standards and can be positioned freely in the track. If your office layout changes, simply reposition the luminaires in the track
Position the track approximately centered on the longitudinal axis of the desks. This gives you a good start for positioning downlights flexibly in the track above the office workstations.
Suspended Hi-trac track allows you to additionally illuminate the ceiling and thus brighten up the room with indirect lighting. This creates a high impression of the room.
Track from ERCO has been used around the globe for decades. An important plus: new spotlights mechanically fit into pre-existing systems, and luminaires put in operation years ago can be used in new systems. ERCO also offers adapters as OEM components for luminaires from different manufacturers.
With widely spaced suspension points, Hi-trac represents a statically high load-bearing infrastructure – also perfect for indirectly illuminating ceilings and accommodating cables in the upper section of the profile.
In projects with ERCO track and Hi-trac, you can integrate emergency lighting into the track infrastructure. Contact your local ERCO consultant – they’d be glad to help with the specification of the system.
Design your track system without restrictions: corner, X, T and flexible connectors enable diverse geometries. Suitable accessories are always specified on the data sheet of the appropriate track.
You'd like to match your track to your corporate design? With our 'ERCO individual' service we offer you extensive options for individualizing your track – e.g. coatings in your desired color.
