Track lighting is an easy way to change the look of any room. As long as the wiring is in place, installing track lighting is a breeze.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Install the track.

  2. Step 2

    Connect the "Live In" component to the wiring based on the instructions in your track kit.

  3. Step 3

    Twist the "Live In" component into place on the track.

  4. Step 4

    Insert the base connections into the track and twist the lock into place.

  5. Step 5

    Angle the fixtures based on where you need the light.

Tips & Warnings
  • Consult an associate at the store to determine what parts you will need to install your lighting: heads, tracks and connectors.
  • Make sure that the track you buy is compatible with the fixtures you choose.
  • If there is no existing light fixture in the room, hire an electrician to install an outlet box, switch and any necessary wiring.
