Track lighting makes a great addition to your home or office. Read this article
for tips to learn how you can install track lighting by yourself.
T
rack lighting has evolved from
its early life in the theater, to
being a part of the lighting
schemes in both family homes
as well as businesses. Given the
flexibility of fixture placement anywhere on
the track, track lighting is ideal when you’re
trying to direct light into one given area. An

a path of light, or illuminating a long hall.
One of the advantages that comes with
track lighting is that the power can come
from just one source. That will generally be
a ceiling box. However, each track system
is different, which means that you should
familiarize yourself with yours before you
begin the installation process.
