The u rail lighting and hanging system functions as a rail for hanging pictures in art galleries, while also incorporating a channel for mounting LED picture lights on armatures. This  system includes both a low voltage picture lighting track and a ceiling mounted picture rail that can be used on artificial ceilings in offices or wooden surfaces. The aluminium picture rail is hung using clear transparent cords or steel cable wire hangers. By operating on low voltage (12V), the rail system powers the LED picture lights, eliminating the need for individual wires. The rail has a sleek profile that seamlessly blends into any interior, and it is simple to install and use to hang, swap, or remove pictures of varying sizes (up to 45kg).
