Track lighting offers lighting design flexiblity. You can set the right mood for a room with ambient lighting or provide the right accent or task light to live, work and play by. Customize your space with track lighting to create the perfect light.
Track may seem like a challenge to pick out and install, but it really isn't. If this is your first time working with track lights, 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 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 (LBL track and heads are only available in a 3-Wire "H" system). 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 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 styles and compatibility with products from other manufacturers.
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 rectagular block about 4" long that serves as both the base of the fixture and the connection to the track. 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 products.
Line Voltage Track Heads
Line voltage track heads are offered in a variety of styles. When compared with our low voltage track lighting 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 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 track lighting heads (except for those from LBL Lighting) 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 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, track lighting 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 track 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.

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.
IC Rated
IC stands for: insulation contact. Thus, IC-rated housings can come in direct contact with thermal insulation.
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.
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.
UL Listed
UL stands for Underwriters Laboratories, a non-profit company that tests electrical copmenents and equipment for potenital 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.

CUL stands for Underwriters Laboratories of Canada, a non-profit company that tests electrical copmenents and equipment for potenital hazards.

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 groved 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.
