Perifo track lighting is modular in design, meaning that it’s made up of building blocks. Create a custom look by building your own smart track lighting kit, based on the shape you want.

How to build a custom track lighting kit
To use this guide, start by thinking big. Determine the shape of your track lighting and where the power is in your ceiling (or wall!). Then, add the components you need to your cart.

Choose the shape and color
The shape and color determine what you need. Consider the placement of your wiring, and whether you want to install your track lighting on the ceiling or wall.

Add the components
Under each shape is a list of parts you’ll need (rails, power supply unit, and connectors). Add those to your cart, along with extra rails if you want to extend the length of your track lighting.

Add the lights
Choose from pendants, spotlights, light tubes, and light bars. How many you can add depends on the length of your track lighting and the total wattage of the lights.
Choose the shape
You can create any shape you like, but here are the most common configurations. Find a shape that works in your room, see which components you need, and then create your own custom track lighting kit.
Want to go bigger? Use a straight connector in any configuration to connect additional rails.

Choose the track lights
The number and type of track lights for your custom track lighting kit depends on two things: 1) the available space on the rails and 2) the total wattage of the lights, which can go up to 100 W. Pick the lights you want, and then add up their length (don’t forget to account for connectors and PSUs!) and wattage to see which ones will fit on your configuration.
