brick, stone, or draperies
Layout and Components
After picking your layout, you have to figure out the wiring to provide power. There are some LED track lights that are plug in, or don’t need to be wired, but most of the fixtures are attached to a junction box.
Connectors are used to connect track lights either in straight lines, at 90-degree angles, or any other angle with a closed loop or in a box shape. Here are the main cuts that people make to a track lighting strip with their connector:
BE AWARE OF WHAT YOU WANT TO ILLUMINATE
Not all track lights fit all track types! You have to make sure that you are using the same track standard and the correct Voltage. Track suspension kits are also helpful to allow you to hang the track from the ceiling instead of being mounted to it.
Accessories
There are many different accessories that you can pair with your LED track lights. You can modify your lights by shape, color, and location! For different shades of light, you can use color and color dichromic lenses. There are also lenses that help change the shape of the light, such as honeycomb louvers, spread lenses, or beam elongating lens or you can use custom framing to help focus the lights.
