BTLW 18W Track Light 120 deg Cool White - Black

The BTLW is an 18W track head that draws 1400 lumens from the rail and casts a 4000K cool white light across a wide 120 degree beam. Rather than the tight spot most heads on a track produce, this wide spread works more like a flood, washing a broad area rather than picking out a single object. Across the Atlantic the format sits within what is sold as track lighting, the catch-all term US buyers use for these rail-fed, repositionable heads. With a CRI of Ra 90, colours under it stay close to true, which matters where the light falls on artwork, stock or merchandise.

Because the beam is so broad, the BTLW suits open layouts where you want even fill rather than dramatic accenting: retail floors, studios, galleries and open-plan kitchens or living spaces. Mounted on a continuous track, several heads can share one supply and be slid along the rail or re-angled as a layout shifts, so the lighting follows the furniture or the display rather than the other way round. The wide 120 degree spread means heads can sit further apart than narrow spots while still giving overlapping, gap-free coverage along the run. At 260 g each, the heads stay light enough to add in number without overloading a standard track section.

The body is aluminium alloy in a black finish, which helps the head recede against dark ceilings and rails. It runs on 220 to 240V AC mains through the track and carries an IP20 rating, so it is for dry indoor use only and should be kept clear of bathrooms, damp areas and any outdoor position. The fitting is not dimmable, and rated life is 50,000 hours from the integrated LED, so there is no lamp to replace. The BTLW sits within a wider track range, with matching heads and rail sections available to build out a complete run.

What is track lighting and how does this head work?

Track lighting is a system where one electrified rail feeds multiple light heads, so a single supply point powers a whole run. The BTLW is one such head: it clips onto the track and draws its 220 to 240V mains supply from the rail rather than from its own dedicated wiring point. This lets you add, remove or reposition heads along the rail without any rewiring.

Can I move or add heads as my layout changes?

Yes. The heads slide along the track and can be re-angled, so you can space them to suit a display or seating arrangement and shift them later if things change. You can also add further BTLW heads to the same rail up to the track's rated capacity, which makes it easy to brighten an area or extend coverage down a longer run.

What track does the BTLW fit?

The BTLW is a track-mounted head designed to clip into the matching rail in this range. Check whether your existing track is single-circuit or three-phase before ordering, as the head and rail must use the same system. Heads, connectors and rail sections from the range are sold separately to let you build the run you need.

How do I clean the BTLW?

Switch off the supply and let the head cool first, then wipe the aluminium body and lens with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can mark the black finish. A light dust now and then keeps the lens clear so the full 1400 lumens reaches the room.
