Tear TR 1M Surface Mains Single Phase Track - White

The Tear TR is a one-metre surface-mounted track that carries mains voltage at 220 to 240V AC, giving a continuous rail along which compatible LED heads clip in and lock. It is the backbone of a track lighting setup, the part US buyers tend to look for under the same track lighting name, and it sets the line that the spotlights themselves draw power from once fitted. Running directly off mains, the track needs no separate low-voltage transformer, and heads connect along its length wherever light is wanted.

Surface mounting suits ceilings where recessing into the structure is not practical, such as plasterboard, concrete or beamed runs, and the single metre length works well over a kitchen island, a run of artwork, a retail display or a home-office wall. Coverage here is about where you aim the heads rather than a fixed floor area: because each head can be slid along the rail and angled, you decide how the throw lands, whether that is washing one wall or picking out several points in turn. For longer runs the track can be joined and laid out to follow the space.

Built from aluminium alloy in a white finish, the track keeps a low profile against a light ceiling and weighs 786g, so fixing into a standard ceiling surface is straightforward. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor use, which keeps it clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or outdoor position. The mains feed runs the full length of the rail, and heads are added or repositioned by releasing and reseating them along the track. Matching track heads and connectors are available across the Tear range.

What is track lighting and how does it work?

Track lighting is a powered rail, like this one-metre Tear TR track, that carries mains voltage along its length. Individual LED heads clip onto the rail and draw power from it wherever they are positioned. This lets you build a lighting layout from one feed point rather than wiring each fitting separately.

How is the track installed?

The Tear TR is surface mounted, fixing directly to a ceiling rather than recessing into it. It runs from a mains supply at 220 to 240V AC and needs no separate transformer. At only 786g it fixes easily to a standard ceiling surface.

What track do the heads fit, and can I add or move them later?

This is a single-phase mains track designed to take compatible heads from the Tear range. Heads slide along the rail and lock in place, so you can reposition, add or remove them as a layout changes. That makes it easy to adapt the lighting if a room or display is rearranged.

Can the track be used outdoors or in a bathroom?

No. The Tear TR is rated IP20, which means it is for dry indoor use only. Keep it clear of bathrooms, porches, garages and any damp or outdoor location.
