Track Lighting


Track Lighting

Track lighting may seem like a challenge to pick out and install, but it really isn't. If this is your first time working with track lighting, there is a lot of helpful information on our track lighting primer. Also be sure to visit our track lighting frequently asked questions (FAQs) page.

Track Lighting Style

YLighting offers the three standards in complete systems of track lighting: the 2-Wire "L", the 3-Wire "H", and the Wide 2-Wire "J" systems. All of our low and line voltage track heads are available in versions compatible with each standard, including Halo, Juno and Lightolier, which gives us the flexibility to meet different customer demands. Each standard differs in its connection between the fixture (the head) and the track, so while the fixtures themselves look exactly the same, it is important to choose the right fixture to match the standard of the track lighting you have installed or plan to install. If you are starting from scratch, we recommend the three-wire "H" standard at is the most popular. Take a look at the track lighting FAQ for more information on track lighting styles and compatibility with products from other manufacturers.

Track Transformers

All low voltage track lighting fixture styles are equipped with a self-contained electronic transformer that brings the line voltage of approximately 120 volts down to 12 volts, to make the voltage suitable for low voltage lamps (lightbulbs). This transformer is a rectangular block about 4" long that serves as both the base of the fixture and the connection to the track lighting. These transformers will generally will work with low voltage electronic dimmers. In rare instances, however, customers have reported that their fixtures produce a humming sound when used with a dimmer; in such cases we recommend that a better quality low voltgae electronic dimmer be used, and, should the problem presist, we recommend a noise filter that is generally available from a store like Radio Shack. It is important to note that magnetic dimmers are not suitable for our low voltage track lighting products.

Line Voltage Track Heads

Line voltage track heads are offered in a variety of styles. When compared with our low voltage products, the main difference is that the line voltage fixtures do not require a transformer, making the "base" which connects to the track a lot smaller. Because they do not use a transformer, line voltage track heads use a different set of lamps (lightbulbs) than the comparable low voltage fixtures.

Wattage

Line voltage fixtures can accept lamps (lightbulbs) up to the stated wattage rating of the fixture (see the specifications on each fixture page). Low voltage fixtures are generally limited to 50W lamps (except for those fixtures that are limited to 35W MR11 lamps). However, for installations which require stronger illumination, the bulk of the low voltage track lighting fixtures we carry are also available in 75W versions (see the specifications listed on the page of the fixture in question).

Extensions

All low voltage heads may be ordered with an optional 18", 24", 36" or 48" extension, which serves to increase the distance between the track and the head of the fixture with a rigid tube. As a special order, this extension may be ordered with a sloped ceiling connector at the transformer end for use with tracks installed on sloped ceilings. For the low voltage track lighting styles, extensions form an integral part of the fixture (the fixture is assembled with the extension at the factory) and therefore extensions cannot be sold separately from the fixture itself. Furthermore, fixtures ordered with extensions may take a longer time to ship, depending on availability from our manufacturer, and are not returnable under any circumstances. For line voltage fixtures, drops can be made using an extension rod. Line voltage extension rods are easily installable, but it is important to note that they are available for "H" style fixtures only.

Remodel Housings

In contrast to new construction housings, remodeling housings are appropriate when you have limited or no access to the space above a new fixture, such as in an apartment or a home without crawl spaces or attics above.

New Construction Housings

In contrast to remodeling housings, new construction housings are bulkier and need to be installed between joist beams or onto hangar bars and thus you need full access to the space above the fixture. This style is best used if you are building in a new space, gutting a room, or have an attic above or pop out ceiling, etc.

Non-IC Rated

Non-IC stands for: non insulation contact. Thus, non-IC-rated housings must be kept at least 3 inches away from any insulation.

IC Rated

IC stands for: insulation contact. Thus, IC-rated housings can come in direct contact with thermal insulation.

MR16 Halogen Bulb

MR 16 is a standard format for halogen multifaceted reflector light bulbs. MR16 lamps are regularly used in place of standard incandescent light bulbs as they harness and shoot light, resulting in less light loss than a traditional bulb. These are best used when you want focused light such as in a pendant over a countertop or an accent light on a painting.

cUL Listed

CUL stands for Underwriters Laboratories of Canada, a non-profit company that tests electrical components and equipment for potential hazards. If something is UL-listed, I means it has met the agency's safety requirements for things like fire, shock hazards, etc. While you can buy and install non-UL listed fixtures, sometimes insurance policies will limit their liabilities accordingly, inspectors may not approve permits, etc.

Damp Location

If the environment exposes the lighting system to moisture condensation, then the location is a damp location. Lights that are approved for damp locations can be used in sheltered outdoor areas such as roofed porches or interior locations subject to moderated degrees of moisture such as basements.

Wet Location

If the lighting system is exposed to direct impact by water from splashing or dripping, which will make the fixture wet, then the location is a wet location. Your most common wet locations are uncovered outdoor areas.

Baffle Trim

The term Baffle refers to the grooved style of the trim. This trim is the most popular choice of all recessed lighting trims and is best used in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and dens.

Open Reflector

Reflector trims have a higly polished inner trim, which gives the most amount of light off of the light bulb. This trim is perfect for use in kitchens, offices and commercial buildings.

Wall Wash

Wall Wash trims will have a shield inserted into the trim. This allows the light to be directed at an angle against a wall or large surface: paintings, large photos, etc.

Gimbal Ring

Gimbal Ring trims allow the light bulb to be directed or angled to highlight a specific spot or general area. This trim is popular in living rooms, dens and home offices.

Eyeball

Eyeball trims refer to the look of the trim as an eyeball. The bulb is housed in the eyeball portion and allows for maximum adjustability in positioning the light. This trim is for use in living rooms, dens and home offices.

Aperture Cone

This trim is for use when superior performance photometrics is desired and low glare is needed. These trims are typically used in commercial applications.

Regressed Fresnel Lens

Lensed trims are for use in wet locations, such as showers, bathrooms and outside applications.

Scoop Wall Wash

Scoop Wall Wash trims will have a shield inserted into the trim. This allows the light to be directed at an angle against a wall or large surface: paintings, large photos, etc.).
