What is track lighting?

Track lighting consists of multiple light fixtures attached to a "track", a long and sometimes curving metal rod with electrical wiring and other components running through it. The track is usually mounted to walls or to the ceiling, or sometimes length-wise down beams or cross-wise across joists or ceiling rafters. In rooms with high vaulted ceilings, tracks can also be suspended in the air using rods hanging from the ceiling above. Depending on the track lighting kit you get, there may be anywhere from 2-3 track lights all the way up to a dozen or more track lighting fixtures attached to the track.

Track lighting comes is a vast amount of colors & styles, and can have greatly change the feel of a room. Commercial looking track can give your room a very professional looking, whereas contemporary looking track can give your room a very modern look. Just imagine solid white track, with solid white heads, in a solid white room with white furniture. Or two-tone black & white track in a two-tone black & white room. The possibilities are endless.

What are track lighting kits?

Track lighting kits are complete kits that include everything you need for your track light installation. Without a kit, you are stuck trying to determine exactly what components you will need and you may end up going back and forth to the hardware store all day. Track lighting kits are sold by length and number of heads, and you can easily choose the kit that best suits your lighting need. Using a track lighting kit does not limit your color and style choices. Virtually all colors & styles are available within the kits, so don't be concerned about being limited when using one.

What makes track lights so different from traditional lights?

Track lights truly stand out because they are used so much less frequently than standard lighting fixtures. They also have such a completely different look. Standard traditional light fixtures are usually small, plain, and quite boring. Track lighting runs the length of an area & usually has unique looking heads that illuminate certain components of the room. You can use the heads to point at focal points in a room, like paintings, trophies, or other prized possessions. Track lighting also works great in the kitchen or in reading rooms, and other places where you have specific areas that need more light.
