Track monorail lighting

overcoil · 08-17-2016, 09:45 PM

Anyone have some tips on track lighting?

I'm looking at product from Nulux, IntenseLighting etcetera.
Tips on installation (I'll be having an electrician install) what goes above the ceiling, mounting, 2-circuit, H-J-L Track ?
Difference between Track and Monorail?
Ceiling need to be painted before installation begins ?

Any info appreciated.

Just did a monorail which had a central mounting point a short time ago.

I'd recommend going with LED and definitely painting the ceiling before. The installation was pretty simple and straightforward. It only took 45 mins and I HATE electricity.

The change of lighting in the space was remarkable and I am in the process of replacing more fixtures with LEDs.

I hope this helps.

You will love the light.

I was concerned about the possible spot-light look but the light is strong where pointed and diffuses nicely without the sharp demarkations I feared.
