Lighting track, residential: minimum height from floor, with respect to being able to touch the track)?

Hi, (DIY/planning question)

I do not recall anything in the 17th and I don't have the latest regs to hand.

For domestic track lights, with the powered track (230V) and where you can clip on fittings at any point - is there a minimum mandated height from the floor for a non-special location?

I'm reasonably sure I've never seen one and I presume the tracks meet a minimum IP to prevent fingers being able to touch the busbars - but thinking from the point of view of kids being able to poke metal things in the track...

This is with respect to a converted attic room with vaulted ceilings where one end of the track might come low, eg 3-4 feet off the floor.

That track would be tucked into the wall/ceiling junction, so bonking the lights with head is less of a consideration - the fall back would be LED tape lights in profile for difficult areas.

Many thanks, Tim
