The Versatile Track Light

Lighting fixtures are necessary for all households. They are necessary not only for illuminating an area but also to accentuate the look and feel of the rooms. Track lighting is one of the most widely used and highly versatile options as they are available in various shapes, sizes, designs, colors and power output options. Track lighting fixtures are used in homes, work places, art studios, theatres, cinemas, auditoriums and other public places.

Track lighting has the capability to provide directional and focal lighting. It provides ideal enhancement for areas with excellent general lighting but which need additional focus on accent features. It is commonly known that track lighting has always been most suited to contemporary styling. Designers are making innovative use of track lighting in homes, as accent or pendant lighting.

My preference is a sleek low voltage track head that powers a halogen MR16 lamp. These 2” high intensity light bulbs are the cleanest form of halogen I have seen and beam spreads range from very narrow spots to wide floods.
