{"title":"Track Lighting","description":"Track lighting is a type of lighting where light fixtures are attached anywhere on a continuous track device which contains electrical conductors. This allows for variable positioning of the light fixtures. Track lighting and spotlighting by their very nature are decorative, accent and directional lighting solutions that not only are aesthetically pleasing but very practical too.\r\n\r\nThese light fixtures were invented in 1961 by Anothy Donato, of the company Lightolier. Track lighting was not an instant hit however, in fact, it was not a popular option at all due to the expensive and clunky design resulting in limited accessibility and lighting uses. However, by the 1970s a new version of track lighting was introduced by Halo Lighting, these were cheaper and offered a wide array of fixtures, finishes and wiring options, making track lighting a much more accessible option. By the 1980s, track lighting had become a staple in stylish lighting design, due to its flexible, customisable design. Since then, track lighting has become cheaper to manufacture and had its design capabilities expanded, resulting in the product becoming even more attainable and having more options available. Track lighting, like all light fittings, has also benefited from the widespread use of LED technology, this is due to the decreased amount of maintenance required switching out old bulbs. \r\n\r\nAt BLT Direct, we offer a comprehensive range of track lights in a variety of different finishes, materials, wattages and colour temperatures, from trusted brands such as Knightsbridge, Megaman and V-Tac.
