Tear Track Light Connector Adaptor - White

The Tear is a track adaptor for use within a track lighting system, the part that lets a fitting clip onto the conductive rail and draw its power. Track lighting works by running a powered rail along a ceiling, with individual heads connecting at any point you choose, and this connector is the link between the head and that rail. Its job is purely mechanical and electrical rather than light-emitting, so it carries no wattage, lumen or beam figure of its own. The American term for this kind of setup is track lighting as well, the rail-and-head approach being common to both markets, with the adaptor sitting at the joint where head meets track.

Because the adaptor is part of a track system rather than a light in its own right, it does not provide room coverage or a beam of its own. What it offers instead is flexibility across the run: heads can be added, removed or slid along the track to suit how a kitchen island, retail display or gallery wall is arranged, and the layout can be reworked later without rewiring. The fitting is for dry indoor use only and should be kept clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or outdoor position. It pairs with the wider Tear range, so heads and rail sections from the same family connect through it.

Construction is moulded polyamide in a white finish, a hard-wearing plastic chosen to keep the connector light at just 9 g while insulating the live contacts. There is no driver included, which is normal for a track component of this kind since power is fed through the rail itself. The white finish blends into a white ceiling or matching track so the adaptor stays visually quiet behind the heads it carries. We stock the Tear range as a system, so matching track sections and compatible heads can be specified alongside this connector.

What is a track adaptor and how does it work?

Track lighting runs a powered rail along the ceiling, and individual heads connect to that rail at any point. This Tear adaptor is the connector that clips a head onto the track and feeds it power, so it is the mechanical and electrical link between head and rail rather than a light itself.

What track does it fit?

It is designed to connect within the Tear track lighting system, so it pairs with Tear rail sections and compatible heads from the same range. Confirm the track profile matches before ordering, as adaptors are specific to the system they are made for.

Can I add or move heads on the track later?

Yes. The point of a track system is that heads can be added, removed or slid along the rail to suit your layout, and this adaptor is what allows each head to connect at the position you choose. You can rework the arrangement later without rewiring the run.

Can it be used outdoors or in a bathroom?

No. The adaptor is for dry indoor use only and should be kept clear of bathrooms, porches, garden and any damp or outdoor setting. Fit it only in dry interior locations such as kitchens, retail spaces or galleries.
