Are you up for a major house design renovation this new year?
You might as well invest in new and better track lighting!
Track lightings are those trails of lights hanging on a long rod (track). They are commonly used in kitchens to help homeowners work on their meals more conveniently, but they’re also useful in highlighting the beautiful features of other rooms.
Read to learn our tips in choosing the right track lighting for your home and our expert recommendations on the best and trendiest track light designs this 2023!
How To Choose the Best Track Lighting
Evaluate the space of the room where you’re going to install the light, identify the features that you’d like to highlight, and determine the activities that the fixture could help you do conveniently. Once you’re sure where to install the new track system, consider the following tips before proceeding with your next step:
- Flexible or straight track lighting. Flexible track lighting can wind and bend in various areas to fit your ceilings. Meanwhile, straight or linear lighting is the better option for long hallways or in kitchens.
- System power. Check whether your system needs to be line voltage or low voltage.
- Lighting fixtures. The fixtures that you’d like to add to the system like a mini pendant, directional spotlights, or a mixture of different add-ons.
- Correct components and accessories. From rails, adapters, power supply, and other optional accessories such as dimmer switches.
