Visual Comfort MO-Pivot MR16 Head – MonoRail

A track or rail head is only useful if it fits the system on your ceiling or wall. The MO-Pivot MR16 Head (sized as listed in the specifications) works with MonoRail; the notes below show where it goes.

Where the MO-Pivot MR16 Head works in the house

Art walls and galleries. Aim heads at the art from the side so the beam grazes the surface and does not reflect.

Retail and hospitality displays. Heads can slide along the rail as the display changes.

Kitchens and shelving. A rail run above a shelf lights a long surface from one feed.

Room planner: size, height and placement

The numbers below come from the manufacturer's specifications and our own placement rules, worked out for the MO-Pivot MR16 Head.

• Rail systems it rides on: MonoRail
• Aiming: the head swivels 220° and pivots on both vertical and horizontal axes
• Lamp: one MR16 lamp, 75 W max (sold separately)
• Power: add up the lamp wattage on the run and stay within the transformer rating
• Where it can go: Dry indoor locations

Ceiling and table figures are our calculation for standard room dimensions, so measure your space. Have a licensed electrician install hardwired fixtures.

Pulling the room together

Plan the transformer, the rail length and the number of heads together, and keep the lamp wattage within the transformer limit.

For commercial and multi-unit projects

For galleries, showrooms and boutiques, we can put together a complete parts list: rail, canopy, transformer and heads.

Care, cleaning and upkeep

Let a halogen lamp cool before touching it, and handle new halogen lamps with a cloth rather than bare fingers (our advice). Dust the head with a dry microfiber cloth with the power off.
