What Is Track Lighting?

Track lighting consists of a single track that is installed onto a ceiling. The light fixtures are then attached to the track. This provides a lot of flexibility in the way you can light a space, since the light fixtures can be easily re-positioned and moved within the track to provide better lighting for whatever the lighting situation calls for.

Each light fixture is able to move independently, which means you can aim one light in one direction and one light in the other – one of the many benefits of installing track lighting in Maryland, Washington, DC, or Virginia.

Track lights don’t typically take up much space, and the fixtures installed within the track are usually relatively small. This means that track lighting won’t clutter the ceiling and won’t be a detriment to your interior design.

There are plenty of design options as well, which means you can choose different colors, sizes and styles for your light fixtures. The electricians at Jaffe Electric can help you choose what type of track lighting is best suited for your living space, just give us a call!

Options for Track Lighting in MD, DC & VA

Track lighting in Maryland, Washington, DC, and Virginia comes in two basic voltage options: low-voltage and line-voltage. The following are a few of the differences between low-voltage and line-voltage track lighting systems:

  • Low-voltage track lighting – Low-voltage track lighting systems make use of a small, built-in transformer that reduces the current to 12 volts. This allows you to choose from a larger selection of bulbs and light fixtures. Although much smaller than line-voltage lights, low-voltage lights are just as bright.

They will also last a lot longer. Low-voltage track lights will last between 2,000 and 3,000 hours, compared to line-voltage track lights, which will generally only last between 700 and 1,000 hours. There are also low-voltage LED track lighting systems available, which will last between 10,000 and 100,000 hours.

  • Line-voltage track lighting – Line-voltage systems require a more typical setup. They make use standard electrical wires and current from your property. This kind of setup will provide 120 volts to your fixtures. Line-voltage track lighting often makes use of spot lights or flood lights, which use the largest light fixtures.
