Track lighting is a wonderful way to focus on a piece of artwork attached to a single ceiling light. These types of decor lighting adjustments can be done in the drawing room, kitchen, reading room and in other places of your house. Three types of track lighting universally used-“H”, “J”, and “L”. To identify them with their appearance is not difficult. If you see the fixture has 3 contacts, then it will be termed as H type decor lighting. Likewise, when it is one inch apart, it is called J type and when it is 7/8 inch apart, the track will be called L type. With the help of digitally controlled interfaces, now most of the track lighting systems work on single lives.

Most of the modern track lighting systems come with low voltage structures measured around 10 or 24 volts, but they look good when illuminated. Here the fixture is fastened onto a metal track, with an attached transformer to convert the high voltage into low voltage. In different setups, the track lighting fittings can be different. Below is a description of some tips and tactics about how to instaltrack lighting at home with fewer efforts-
