About LHT-180L-WT Track Head
What is LHT-180L-WT Track Head?
The LHT-180L-WT Track Head is a high-efficiency LED lighting module designed for linear track systems. Manufactured by Starlight Lighting, it integrates a compact optics package that produces up to 180 lumens per watt, delivering bright, uniform light while consuming minimal power. The unit mounts securely to standard ½-inch aluminum track rails and offers a 0-90° swivel range for precise beam placement.
Built with a frosted polycarbonate diffuser, the head softens glare and maintains color consistency across a 3000-K to 5000-K color temperature range. Its low-profile housing blends into ceilings, making it suitable for both exposed and concealed installations. The unit operates at a rated 12-volt DC input, compatible with most commercial dimming protocols, and includes a quick-release mounting clip for easy service.
Reliability is reinforced by an aluminum heat-sink that dissipates thermal load, extending LED lifespan beyond 50,000 hours under typical use. The product complies with UL and CE standards, ensuring safety in high-traffic environments. Its modular design allows multiple heads to be linked on a single track, creating uniform lighting zones without visible seams.
