Solux Track Lighting Head Replacement
« on: January 03, 2023, 04:19:04 pm »

I am a photographer and I have two Solux track lighting systems in my studio. I need to replace several of the heads, but Solex is out of business. Does anyone know where I can get replacement heads for Solux track lighting?

There are still some available on Amazon and elsewhere; you don't necessarily have to get em from Solux.net (Tailored Lighting).

Hi Andrew, I have plenty of bulbs - bought twenty when I got the email from Solux - it's the heads I need.

MR16s? That's not unique to Solux, the bulbs are.

Is MR 16 the track head type? So I should look for MR16 track heads, which will fit Solux tracks?

Correct. Kind of a 'universal' fit. So IF (and if they are like mine) you have Solux bulbs for MR 16, and you find an MR 16 track, they just pop in.
You may end up needing a new track but again, if MR 16, and there are hundreds, just replace and use those bulbs.

Thanks, Andy. Yes, I stocked up on Solux bulbs for MR16 when I got the email about Solux closing.

Track heads sold by Solux for its track lighting system were made WAC Lighting and can be found on Amazon and elsewhere: WAC HHT-809-WT.  They work with Solux MR16 bulbs. I just received a few for $36.76 apiece.
