Electrical connections should be made with caution:

  1. Connect to Power Source: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to connect the track to your power source. This may involve hardwiring the track to a junction box.

  2. Use Voltage Tester: Always use a voltage tester to confirm the power is off before handling wires.

  3. Secure the Connections: Ensure all wire connections are secure and covered with wire nuts.

Adding the Lighting Fixtures

Once the track is installed and wired:

  1. Install the Fixtures: Attach the LED light fixtures onto the track. They should click or slide into place.

  2. Adjust Position: Position the lights as desired, aiming them at specific areas or objects.

  3. Test the Lights: Turn the power back on and test the lights to ensure they are working properly.
