When to Use Track Lighting

Track lighting is a popular way to add light to a room, but it isn’t lighting that should be used to illuminate an entire room. Track lighting, as its name suggests, allows you to have several small, directed lights reside on a single track that powers the lights. Many track lighting fixtures are low voltage, which helps reduce energy usage, and you can install different styles of lights on a track, making a track system fairly versatile. The best uses of track lighting include:

When you have shifting focal points: Do you have artwork in your home that you like to highlight, or need to move to light around? Track lighting can be a great choice for any area of your home in which the lights need to be movable.

When there are a limited amount of power outlets or points of power: A single track can operate several lights, but the track only needs a single junction box versus needing a junction box for light. As such, you can use track lighting to add necessary needed light to a room with limited power access.

When you want accent or task lighting: The pointed directional nature of lights on a track makes them perfect for providing accent or task lighting in your home.
