A unique solution to low-voltage monorail lighting. Minimalistic and sleek, our system allows you to design free hand customized straights, angles and curves bent and joined for a simple modular realization of virtually any architectural lighting designers vision.
Stone Lighting continues to be the front-runner in the industry for Low Voltage Systems. Our new Black Monorail is perfect for both residential and commercial applications. Contact sales for layout assistance.
Our Black Monorail is solid brass with a black plated finish. Hardware, fixtures and transformers are steel with a painted semi-gloss black finish.
It is important to determine what you want to illuminate. We recommend sketching out your design to help navigate you through this simple system basics guide. The rail is rated for a maximum of 25 amps: 300W at 12V.
Every rail is shipped with a set of straight conductive connectors for easy joining to another monorail.
Order connectors for joining rails.
All Monorail lighting systems require a transformer to convert standard (120-277) voltage to a safe-to-touch 12V. Monorail can be powered with surface mounted transformers or with remote transformers.

Consult our Maximum Distance Guide for maximum allowable distance on Monorail System and Power Supply.
All Surface Mounted Transformers are encased in a finished metal housing and mount to any standard ceiling electrical box. Typically, you use a surface transformer when an accessible location above the ceiling or in a utility closet is unavailable for installing a remote transformer.
Transformer and flexible coaxial feeder cleanly and attractively send power to your system. 28" length is standard for our coaxial feeder. It is easily shortened in the field. Consult factory for longer lengths. Our unique coaxial feeder mimics a solid stem when straight.
All Remote Transformers are encased in metal housings complete with mounting feet and conduit knockouts. Typically, you use a remote transformer when a cleaner installation appearance is desired.
A remote transformer must be installed in an accessible remote location, the bulkier ceiling mounted surface transformer is replaced by a power feed canopy with flexible coaxial power feed cable or direct-feed connector.
When using a remote transformer, a remote canopy is necessary. Power feed canopies are mounted to the ceiling or wall. Location can be anywhere along the rail.
4” Round Canopies mount to a standard 4” electrical J-Box.
2.75” Round Canopies ships with ADPJBOX2 adapter for standard JBox mounting.
Remote canopies include 28” standard length of a 10AWG flexible, plated coaxial power feeder and complementing rail adapter. The coaxial feeder is field-cuttable and easily shortened by the installer. A straight line to the rail, giving the appearance of a solid stem, is easily achievable by the installer. Direct-feed canopies include a complementing rail adapter flush with canopy.
This compatibility list states THERMAL, PHYSICAL and ELECTRICAL compatibility between Soraa 12V MR16 lamps and the listed fixtures.
This list does NOT refer to dimming compatibility. For this, refer see transformer/dimmer compatibility lists on www.soraa.com. This list has been compiled based on data made available by fixture manufacturers on the date it was made.
Soraa is not responsible for changes made by manufacturers on their products. Soraa recommends to confirm with the fixture manufacturer the transformer’s brand and model inside the fixture during the planning.
