Track Lighting

When you opt for one of our competitively priced track lights, you’re getting an attractive fixture that can zip, glide, swivel, and rotate into almost any position you need. You can choose from several different light sources and styles, along with the perfect accessories for your lighting project.

What Is Track Lighting?

Also known as track lighting heads or track fixtures, track lights are simply those fixtures you see mounted on an electrified metal track. What’s great about them is that once installed, you can always adjust lights along the track to accentuate and change the look of a room.
Uses
Typically, you can use track lighting fixtures in three ways: for accent lighting, wall washing, or wall grazing. Unfamiliar with these? Let’s break it down:
Accent Lighting is used to highlight particular objects, like artwork. It’s best to use halogen track lighting to accent your special objects and areas, because the small filament of a halogen bulb allows light to be easily controlled and focused.
Effective accent track lights should be:
  • 4 to 5 times brighter than the ambient light in a space
  • 2 or 3 feet away from their target object
  • At a 30-degree angle from the wall
*To determine how far from the wall you should install your ceiling track light, measure the distance from the ceiling to the middle of your object, and multiply that by 0.55.
Wall Washing produces smooth, even illumination along an entire wall, minimizing the appearance of texture. You can use halogen or fluorescent track lighting, among others for this purpose, depending on the features you prefer.
Effective wall washing track lights should be:
  • Mounted 2 to 3 feet away from the wall on ceilings up to 9 feet
  • Mounted 3 to 4 feet away from the wall on ceilings 9 to 11 feet high
  • Spaced the same distance from the wall as they are from each other
Wall Grazing is essentially the opposite of wall washing - using light to dramatically highlight a wall’s texture (think draperies, stone, or brick). You can achieve this look with many different kinds of suspended track lighting, including fluorescent and halogen track lights.
Effective wall grazing track lights should be:
  • Mounted on a track installed 6 to 12 inches from the wall
  • Spaced 6 to 12 inches apart
  • Aimed downward
A note on wall washing and wall grazing: Recessed lights may better suited to these lighting effects, but track lighting is a sound alternative if installing recessed lights in your ceiling is not an option.
Oh, The Places They'll Go
There are tons of places to use industrial and commercial track lighting. Here are just a few:
  • Hallways
  • Stages
  • Museums
  • Art Galleries
  • Trade Show Exhibits
  • Retail Stores
  • Offices
  • Conference Rooms
  • Studies
  • Churches
  • Restaurants
  • Taverns
  • Hotel Rooms
  • Libraries
*A Note on Track Lights in Residential Settings
Generally we recommend track light fixtures be used very sparingly in the home. Most of it is utilitarian, suited best for commercial and industrial settings. However, they still can work brilliantly in your house if you have the right elements in play. You should only install them in rooms with high ceilings, and opt for sleek, modern track lighting (like flexible track lighting). You can also hang pendants from the track, which you can move and adjust at your leisure.
Installation
Follow these steps when designing your own track lighting system:
  1. Measure the length of track you’ll need.
  2. Figure out where you’ll need power (at the end or somewhere along the track).
  3. Choose your favorite connecting units (T-connector, L-connector, flexible connector, etc).
  4. Pick your favorite fixtures, and determine how many you’ll need.
  5. If you want to change or add to the system later - don’t sweat it! Track lighting systems are flexible.
