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
Lightolier dimming
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.

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

Tangent
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.
