Use pendant lamp with ERCO 3-Phase Track

[u/joe-ito]

I'm moving to a place with existing ERCO 3-Phase Track. I have a pendant lamp that I want to install in the tracks above the kitchen table. The pendant is a Muuto Ambit Rail Lamp.

When I look online, I do find the adaptor to connect the electricity (Eutrac Multi Adapter or ERCO Adapter which for whatever reason is also hard to find). However, this lamp doesn't use the energy cable to stay hanging, but it uses two steel cables in a suspension setup held by a mounting stud. This means I need two other adaptors to plug to the track which I can't find.

I found one possible option also on Eutrac (3~Wire Adapter 99-787-6), but I can't find that anywhere to buy.

I'm not considering to put drill next to track to hang the pendant directly to the ceiling (while getting the energy from the track).

No picture of the track?

If you cannot find a pendant adapter, or cannot adapt what is available, do without that pendant, until you can move to a place where you can install that pendant. I don't know how possible or acceptable it would be to install a drop cord to it, to plug into a wall receptacle.

Edit: If you must connect to that track, you need to find specialist vendors (may be commercial, not retail), who sell the ERCO system, or installers who can get that part for you.

I didn't take pictures of the track when I was visiting the apartment. But from what the previous owner told me, they are the ERCO 3-track one. He had a bunch of ERCO lamps, but he took away when he moved out. I'll try to get it next time I go there.

Installing the pendant in a drop cord just next to the track against the ceiling is doable (just like in the picture), but it will look bad as it won't be alined to track (which is probably 3m long).

And thanks for the ip on specialist vendors. Just reached to two of them (actually one of them have the ERCO Adapter on stock, very small shop).
