The invention claimed is: 1. A modular high intensity track lighting system, comprising: a luminaire unit having an housing and a lamp socket; a remote ballast housing separate from said luminaire unit; a flexible cord and plug system including a cord attached to said luminaire unit and removably electrically connectable to said remote ballast housing; said remote ballast housing having a plug receptacle for receiving said cord; said cord having a plug, said plug received in said plug receptacle of said ballast housing; said plug having three separated electrical insulated conductors; said remote ballast housing having at least one track attachment fitting to electrically connect said remote ballast housing to a track system; and, said remote ballast housing having an integral track groove extending along an exterior surface, said luminaire unit repositionable in a plurality of locations along said integral track groove. 2. The modular high intensity track lighting system of claim 1, said luminaire unit having a track attachment fitting for non-electrical mounting of said luminaire unit. 3. The modular high intensity track lighting system of claim 2 wherein said track attachment fitting of said luminaire unit is removably received in an integral track groove of said remote ballast housing. 4. The modular high intensity track lighting system of claim 1 wherein said remote ballast housing has an electrical power switch to interrupt said electrical connection between said remote ballast housing and said luminaire unit. 5. A modular lighting system, comprising: a luminaire unit having a lamp socket, a flexible insulated power cord and a power cord plug and a removable mounting mechanism; a remote ballast unit having a power supply, an electrical plug receptacle and a releasable mounting mechanism; said power cord plug removably received in said plug receptacle to electrically connect said lamp socket to said power supply; wherein said remote ballast unit is removably electrically connected to a track system by said releasable mounting mechanism; and wherein said luminaire unit is removably and non-electrically mounted to said remote ballast unit in a plurality of positions along an integral track formed on an exterior surface in said remote ballast unit; and, said power cord having three insulated electrical conductors. 6. A modular track lighting system having a remote ballast and a modular luminaire unit, comprising: a luminaire unit having a frilly insulated power cord and plug system, a mechanical and non-electrical track attachment fitting, said fully insulated power cord and plug system including a plug having first, second and third conductors; a remote ballast housing having a track attachment fitting for electrical connection to a track system, said remote ballast housing also having a plug receptacle for removably receiving said plug of said luminaire unit, a non-electrical mounting track extending along a lower surface of said remote ballast housing repositionally receiving said luminaire unit mechanical track attachment fitting in a plurality of positions along said mounting track, and a power switch in an electrical circuit inter-position between said track attachment fitting and said plug receptacle. 7. A modular track lighting system, comprising: a track lighting luminaire unit having a lamp socket, a flexible insulated power cord, a power cord plug and a track attachment fitting; a remote ballast unit having a power supply, an electrical plug receptacle and a releasable mounting mechanism for attachment to a track; said power cord plug removably received in said plug receptacle to electrically connect said lamp socket to said power supply, said track lighting luminaire removably mounted by said track attachment fitting in a plurality of locations along a longitudinally extending non-electrical mechanical supporting integral track formed in said remote ballast unit. 8. A modular track lighting system having a remote ballast and a modular luminaire unit, comprising: a track lighting type luminaire unit having an insulated power cord plug system, a non-electrically conductive mechanical track attachment fitting and a lamp; a remote ballast housing having a track attachment fitting for electrical connection to a track lighting system, said remote ballast housing having a plug receptacle for removably receiving said plug of said luminaire unit, a non-electrical luminaire support mounting track extending along an exterior surface of said remote ballast housing receiving said luminaire unit in a plurality of locations on said mounting track.
