A 220V to 12V transformer supplies current to a l.v. lighting system comprising parallel conductor rails (1, 2) feeding and supporting lamps (8) through hollow metal tubes (6) movable to any desired position. The electrical connections from the rails are completed through the tubes and leads running through them to the lamp-sockets. One rail has slots to fasten each tube which is extended through a swivel joint (4) carrying a lead to the second rail onto sliding contacts formed by a bar-magnet (3). By altering its fastened position a lamp can be moved to any position along the rails. USE/ADVANTAGE - Versatile and flexible industrial lighting.
