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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
