Installation & sizing

How the MO-Pivot goes into a system (Visual Comfort's spec sheet plus our advice):

• MonoRail: clips to MonoRail with the included rail adapter
• Lamp: one MR16 lamp, 75 W max (sold separately)
• Transformer: add up the lamp wattage on the run and stay within the transformer rating
• Aiming: the head swivels 220° and pivots on both vertical and horizontal axes; aim accent light about 30° from vertical to limit glare (our rule of thumb)

A low-voltage system needs a transformer sized to the total lamp load. Have a licensed electrician install the system.

Who this is not for

• Standard line-voltage H, J or L track: it only fits the Visual Comfort systems listed.
• Anyone expecting a lamp in the box: the MR16 lamp is sold separately.
• Plug-and-play installation: a low-voltage system needs a transformer and an electrician.
• Bathrooms with showers, porches or outdoor use: it is listed for dry locations.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009. It is the smallest way to add aimable light to a MonoRail run, and the shade accessories let you change its look.

Buy once: durability and care

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.
