FAQ About Installing Track Lighting
In addition to adding track lighting to your home or office, our team can also replace track lighting. We often receive questions about replacing track lighting and installing it, so we've prepared these FAQ for your information.
What Are the Different Types of Track Lighting?
Aside from design variations, track lighting is classified into distinct types: H, J, and L tracks. It's crucial to identify which type you have, as they aren't interchangeable for replacement parts. Additionally, track lighting can feature either a single or dual circuit. A single circuit operates all lights simultaneously, whereas a dual circuit permits selective control, enabling you to customize which lights are on or off at any moment.
How Many Lights Can You Put on a Track?
As a general guideline, you can install one light head per foot of track. Track lighting systems commonly feature three to six individual heads. It's crucial to consider your power circuit's capacity, ensuring it can handle the load of each light. Assess your lighting requirements and circuit capabilities to select a track light that aligns with your needs.
Can Track Lighting Be Installed on a Dimmer?
Yes, track lighting can be installed with a compatible dimmer switch, enabling you to adjust the brightness of the lights according to your preference. It's important to ensure that both the track lights and the dimmer are compatible for smooth operation.
Is Track Lighting Energy Efficient?
Track lighting can be highly energy-efficient, especially when equipped with LED bulbs. LEDs consume less power and have a longer lifespan compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, making them an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice for track lighting systems.
Can I Install Track Lighting Outdoors?
Certain track lighting systems are designed specifically for outdoor use, crafted with weather-resistant materials. When selecting track lighting for outdoor areas, look for products rated for exterior use to ensure durability against environmental elements.
