Today we're going to add track lighting to a garage and the reason we chose that is so the homeowner can aim the lights wherever he needs them. For the price of calling in an electrician to re-wire this garage, well I can show you how to do it yourself a lot cheaper.
If you want to add some light to your home as well as add a decorative touch, track lighting is a good solution.
Track lighting is flexible in many ways. You can choose a wide variety of colors and styles both for the track and for the light fixtures. Once the track is installed, power runs throughout the entire track so you can slide your light fixtures anywhere you want on the track and still have power. This allows you to move the fixtures anywhere you want on the track to highlight different parts of the room where it’s installed.
Tracks come in varying lengths but they can be cut to fit any area that you desire to install the system. Before you start installing the track, it’s a good idea to lay it out on the floor so you can get a rough idea of how it's going to fit in the area where it will be installed.
Once you’ve done the layout, measure and mark the ceiling where you want to install the tracks.
Next, you will use a drywall anchor and screw to hold the tracks in place.
Flexible elbows allow you to connect the different pieces of track around corners and ledges.

This is the only video that showed us how to put the light fixture in properly. THANK YOU
Thank you for watching!
She's amazing! Best video I've seen on this subject.
I wish my wife was like her; I would get so much done!
+Zone07 I think it would be the other way around :)

You said it man!
Lol
I love the succinct delivery and explanation for a number of issues someone might run into. Thanks
Loved this. So simple. Straightforward and to the point and informative. Thanks!
This was well done and a great idea for my garage.
I really appreciate your professionalism. God bless you and your parents.
Excellent instructions. I needed lighting for a craft room and was tired of using desk lamps. This make more sense.
Thank you so much for this! It was so amazingly helpful in our decision making process with the track lighting.
I would be wearing a pair of safety glasses specially when the work is overhead.
Great video! A couple of comments: First, the connectors aren't snap-in only, you should tighten down the setscrew after inserting them into the track. Second, after cutting the track, the conductors have to be trimmed so that the anti-short tabs on the fittings don't push the fittings on the other end of the track out.
Thanks for some great information and a well-presented video!
Awesome, very clear, resourceful (reusing the cut parts) and smart (the part of mirroring in the floor what you want up in the ceiling).
Excellent, precise information given at the right pace with efficiency!
The BEST info on track lighting for me!
So there still is a good use for track lighting! This is a good solution for anyone removing it from their home's interior. If I was going to buy new lighting for a garage I'd just get some of the linkable LED lights that replace the old fluorescent tube lighting fixtures that used to be popular. Only about $20 per 3 ft section, (I used 6 sections), some connector wires to link them, and you're done for about $140.
Excellent guide. Now I am motivated to finish my project today !!!
Bravo! A very workmanlike presentation with all aspects of a typical installation covered and explained brilliantly.
Teresa killed it. Best female dyi I've ever seen.
As the lady stated, the rails have two metal strips on one side and just one on the other. Therefore, make sure the connectors, lights, rails, etc are all lined up by taking this into consideration. I did it the hard way and had to remove a rail and rotate it which is a nuisance when using toggle bolts.
Best video on track lighting - such a pleasant voice, easily explained and not to mention, "easy on the eyes" Good job
What a smart beautiful woman ! Love this!
Thanks so much. This helped me attach and install more track lighting.
Your video was clear to the point and easy to understand thanks
Fan-Flippin-Tastic no nonsense, get your butt in there and do it demonstration! I got it on the first play through. Watched 20 more times just cause it's a master lesson in how to make this type of video! I'm putting this stuff up everywhere now!
Please wear safety glasses, doing it right is one thing but doing it safely is the most important thing. BTW, I'm impressed with your work.
Such a great, informative video. The other videos on this type of track leave out all the details.
Be sure when you connect most lights & appliances to the house the wire is most often aluminum on the appliance & or lights, So you're connecting it to the house wire which is copper.& needs to have a special grease called Nola Flex so they don't prematurely quit working. Otherwise they can expand & contract causing the two different materials to arc & corrode fast & then need be replaced. When you put the two aluminum & copper wire together in a wire nut, just squirt a dab of this Nola flex into the wire nut first & twist them on together..Another trick of the trade is if you're doing lighting or something outside, Before you wire nut the wires into a wire nut is you must first twist the wires together with pliers tightly & then squirt a dab of 100% silicone into the wire nut & tighten on the wires. This will help prevent water of touching the live wires & shorting out during a rainstorm or garden hose sprinkler..
Where I live, I have never seen aluminum wiring used for circuits like this. It is always copper. Aluminum cable is sometimes used to bring power to the service panel, but I never see it used for branch circuits.
WOW She is great! Awesome job! Thank you.
This really helped me! Thank you so much👌🏼
Excellent video! I think I can do it!
How did she drill those holes into the sheetrock without getting sheetrock dust in her hair or eyes and on her shirt! She's good!
She wears a cordless drill like no other. Reminds me of Crocodile Dundee, and she can say "No mate, THIS is a drill!"
Video is super old but still very helpful
My box didn't come with instructions. Thank you!!
It would have bern helpful if you noted the brand you were using.
Thank you
Great video and product...
thank you...on my way !
Great video just want I was looking for thanks!
Beautiful!
I think I lost track of why I looked up this video in the first place. Wow.
I have this track lighting system. I watched this totally for the way to connect the floating connector to the track stick. I saw you had done it but it was covered by your hand. Couldn't see how you did it.
liquid nails
What if the wires coming out of the box are red, white and a black wire that wasn’t used for the previous light
Does it matter which direction you turn the light to "snap" it in? You went counter-clockwise. Is that true in all cases? Can you go either way? Is it all tied to the specific producer? Mine came with very little instructions and doesn't cover this.
@0:44 this part is not incl. in the track light set I purchased. Duh. I need to get that separate?
Great video!
Sweet drill.
We learned that yesterday
Great tutorial!
If the existing ceiling junction box screws do not match up with new track plate what options do you have to install the plate besides rearranging the old junction box? Somethings are never easy but your video was nice.
And similarly what if the junction box screws are facing the wrong direction?
Very informative! She doesn't look like a Michael though 😂
What would be the max feet of the track lighting or max wattage?
great video, one thing i noticed is that she doesnt explain how to connect the cut pieces. i looked at a few other videos and you have to bend the copper wire to connect with a special Track Conductor Bending Tool... the problem is i CANNOT find on for sale anywhere online in the US... that seems like the perfect Amazon item, but they dont seem to have a single one....or do these connect another way?
I do have a question... sorry if I come off too green but does it matter what lights you used for the track? can one buy a track and choose different lights or do the tracks come with their own lights and one must choose from that selection? Just curious... The reason I ask is because I like to change things up quit a -lot and if it is as easy as changing the lights oppose to having to change the entire system... well then that is right up my alley.
@suchaCaligrrl.. You can use a number of different light fixtures with track systems, they're very universal.
+UNDERNEATHHOUSE36 thank you for responding, I appreciate it.
They don’t sell this in white anymore?
shes badass
How many head light can be installed?
Easy tracking thank
...
Can I run leads right off the rails?
Great, Love this!
واضح جدا مع عدم وجود ترجمه ..شكرا لك
Nice video but why aren't you wearing safety glasses?!
Still very beautiful!!! ❤❤
Quick Note: 1:25 the tracks ONLY come in 4' and 8' sections.
What do you mean by 1:25
Im in love
under $200? the tracks are $50 per 8 feet alone. where do i get your pricing
Your awesome
My track light Is pleasantly 110 v at this time but I want to know if I was to change it to 220 volts if it just a matter of changing the voltage and the bulbs or would I have to get a 220 volts track light ??
It depends on the product. Check the technical specification in documentation that came with your system or contact the manufacturer directly. Increasing output to any electrical item can be very dangerous if it isn't designed to handle it. Imagine all the bad things that could happen if part of the track started melting.
Where did you purchase the materials? I need to complete this exact thing in my garage too!
❤❤
but a 4" piece of track and 3 lights is $124 at Lowes...
Mine still isn't working...
What brand of track lighting is this?
I didnt hear a word she said. She is beautiful.
Where can I get that track lighting product?

Very helpful but wear safety glasses.
They didn't show her actually doing the cutting
What if you don't have a green wire all I have is two extra red and two extra white
cutie...
No doubt you were born for this. You are soy damn smart, beautiful and sexy... Love your voice and video. I usually use my grinder to cut because it's much faster and easier for me, but it was a pleasure watching your video. Good luck!
she's a little too cute to be installing track lighting.
Who puts track lighting in a garage
People that want to have kick ass garages
at 4:30 cut to a man finishing the cut
nice, DB.
Lol... she said less than $200. For all that track and fixtures. Lol
