1. A lighting assembly connector configured for being inserted into a curved lighting track, the lighting assembly connector comprising:
a casing having a width defining a lateral direction and a length defining longitudinal direction, the length being greater than the width, the casing being definable as including three sections each defining one-third of the length, the three sections including a middle section, a first end section including a first longitudinal end of the casing and a second end section including a second longitudinal end of the casing, the casing being electrically insulating, the casing including a first side defining an end face of the lighting assembly connector for facing away from a light source connected to the lighting assembly connector;
a plurality of electrical contacts extending out of the casing each configured for contacting a respective line of the curved lighting track; and
at least one fastener connected to the casing configured for removably connecting the lighting assembly connector to the curved lighting track.
