The smallest, most versatile line voltage track lighting

system on the planet.

T a n g e n t �

120V line voltage, 20 amp track

Tangent line voltage track is rated for a full 20 amps

at �20V, and supports a wide variety of fixtures,

miniature pendants and light sources.

Tangent Surface Mount

Innovative side by side buss-bars minimize overall height and allow Tangent to be mounted directly to ceilings and walls without bulky stand-offs.

Tangent Suspension Beam Crisp architectural design is ideal for suspended applications where a larger profile is desired.

Light Source Options

Tangent track supports a wide

variety of both line and low voltage

light sources, including MR�6,

AR�� and T4 lamps.

Infinite installation configurations

Tangent may be installed in an infinite variety

of configurations. Surface mounted on ceilings

or walls, or suspended from wire or stems,

in straight or curved patterns.

The size of low voltage, the power of line voltage

At �/3 the size of standard track, Tangent is the worlds

smallest line-voltage track lighting system.

Lighting Control

Single circuit Tangent

is fully compatible with

controls.

Field Bendable for Custom Configurations

Tangent may be field bent to a minimum radius

of 3 feet allowing for an infinite variety of custom

configurations in any application (see page 26 for

Lightolier’s easy to use Tangent Bending Machine).

Tangent Suspension Truss

Perforated Truss makes a dramatic statement in suspended applications with a unique “engineered” aesthetic.

The smallest, most versatile line voltage track lighting system on the planet.Tangent delivers the performance and convenience of line voltage in a profile no larger than most low voltage rail systems. Ideal for commercial, retail and residential applications, Tangent may be surface mounted or suspended, in straight runs or in sweeping architectural curves. Tangent's unique design, diminutive size and strikingly clean lines redefine the state-of-the-art in line voltage track lighting.

1. Both line and low voltage

fixtures clamp easily onto Tangent

Track. Fixtures may be easily

repositioned by loosening adapter

and sliding along track.

2. Infinite horizontal rotation

for maximum aiming flexibility

without “dead spots” (low

voltage fixtures only).

T a n g e n t �

Tangent track supports a wide variety of lamps including both Line Voltage (MR�6 and T4)

and Low Voltage (MR�6, AR�� and T4). Fixture options include spots, floods, adjustable

suspended spots, and miniature decorative pendants. Each Tangent luminaire is designed

and constructed with the superior performance, style and quality that has made Lightolier

the leader in track lighting for over �0 years. Choose between the precision and brilliance of

low voltage halogen, or the simplicity of line voltage halogen fixtures. Only Tangent delivers

the best of both in a miniature �20V track system.

Mini PendantsMini Pendants are a unique system designed to create dramatic visual impact for accent

and display lighting. Mini Pendants utilize attractive shades to create intimate pools of light.

Their versatile drop-cable design allows them the flexibility of being suspended to a desired

height, to be used individually, in a row to create a “screen” of light, or clustered together

as a “free-form” chandelier.

How to Order Mini Pendants

Step 1: Select the Desired Light Source.

Low voltage T4 lamps are extremely

compact and bright, perfect for the smallest

shades. Line voltage T4 lamps produce

the same bright halogen light without a

transformer and are easily dimmable with

standard incandescent dimmers.

Step 2: Select the Desired Shade

Choose from over a dozen styles and colors

of hand-blown glass and spun aluminum

shades. All Mini Shades are compatible with

both the FXG� and FXT4 Mini Pendants.

FXG9P Pendant Line Voltage T4 40W Max.
