Track lighting is a kind of special led lighting, or lighting system. The system is mounted on a ceiling or wall and receives and drives a single fixture or lamp holder. Yes, but what does that mean?
The track lighting system has two main parts. One is the track, which is connected to the power supply and is used to secure the head of the wire. From the cross-section, it looks like a square "U", or a square without a central part on one side. This is installed in the ceiling or wall of the part, the opening downward or outward.
The two system conductors of the power supply — thermal and neutral — are copper strips that are mounted on insulating material in the rails. There is a copper strip on each side.
The most common forms of track lighting still include linear tracks that attach directly to the surfaces of walls or ceilings. They have a component that connects to the ceiling socket, a 90-degree component dedicated to turning, a coupler that connects two straight lines, and a "blind alley" to safely cover one end of the track, but there are also fixtures for curved or wavy rails and for hanging under the ceiling.
The definition of track lighting is that the head can be mounted anywhere along the track length.
A lamp holder is a fixture for a lamp. Each piece has two metal tags that connect to the power supply inside the track. These units also lock the head on the track and hold it in place.
Just as straight tracks are still the most common, the most common track lamp holder is still a jar with a reflector floodlight bulb, and is designed to throw out the light you need.
As mentioned above, there are other orbital lighting heads as well. The most common alternative head is the pendant fixture. They come in many different colors and shapes. Most bulbs have only one bulb in the open shade, but some have more than one — like a small chandelier.
How to install track lighting
If you want to have a custom track lighting system cut with straight lines and fit into your space, you may want to hire an electrician to do this part of the job. Splicing the wires with their polarity — the relative positions of heat and neutralization — accurately and properly to maintain their continuity can be tricky, and must be done or else it won't work at all. Also, it's an art form to make a straight track look perfect.
That said, you can still be a designer and fixture installer if you want to. Not only can you choose the lamp cap and bulb you want, but you can also hang them up, check the effects, and change their goals if you decide to have something different.
Since rail lighting is easy to install in one configuration, as it is in another configuration, it is often used to bring light to strange corners and key workstations in the kitchen. While you're at work, you can run a distance of canned food where you walk and stand. You can put the canned food in the right place and have your counter and equipment light up on your shoulders. Alternatively, the orbit could travel directly over an island or peninsula, illuminating those surfaces with a drooping head. These techniques can be used in your workshop, pot shed, or greenhouse.
Orbital lighting systems also make it easy to bring light into narrow spaces, such as corridors. You can run parallel to the wall. You can hang photos or artwork on the wall, perhaps three or four feet from the wall, and install and aim cans to accentuate each part. Due to its built-in flexibility, rail lighting will allow you to change the lighting whenever you change something on the wall.
A clever trick or effect that can create track lighting is installed in the bathroom and the installation head will be reflected in the makeup mirror illuminating who is standing there.
If you're thinking about installing several sunken lighting fixtures in a room, take a minute to consider whether you can get the track lighting effect you want. Concave lamps are relatively cheap, but if you need a few, it will start to accumulate. In addition to the cost of lighting fixtures, the cost of installing hidden lights and the level of confusion can not be underestimated. Finally, once they're there, they're there. Removing or removing a sunken fixture and repairing holes in wires and ceilings may cost as much or more than the original installation. In contrast, orbital lighting is more flexible, less intrusive, and easier to remove and repair traces.
Concealed fixtures may be exactly what you want and need, with plenty of space for activities such as a home room, but track lighting may be your preferred option elsewhere.
Track lamps, fixtures, and magnetic heads are manufactured by many companies, each of which seems to have a different design for the interior of the track and the exterior of the magnetic head connectors. In other words, don't expect any flash to work on any other company's tracks; it probably won't.
Therefore, the first thing to do is to choose your favorite head. Then buy and install -or already installed- the tracks that will support and connect the heads of your choice.
