There are 3 track systems on the market, namely Halo Track System(HT), Juno Track System (JT), and Lightolier Track System (LT). They are basically all functional equivalent system, excepts for the availability and cost. HT is more common and cost less, while JT and LT are less common and cost more due to less competition from vendors.

Halo Track System (HT)

The HT system is known as 3-wire single circuit systems and is the most popular track system on the market today. HT compatible system is available at most home improvement centers. If you look at the track, then there should be 2 strip of wire on one side and 1 strip of wire on the other side. If you look at the back of the fixture junction plate, then there should be 2 clip terminals on one side and 1 clip terminal on the other side. HT is the most affordable system due to many vendors selling HT compatible system, thus the price is favorable for consumer. We recommend using the HT system for new installation.

Juno Track System (JT)

The JT system is known as 2 wire-wide single circuit system. If you look at the track, then there should be 1 strip of wire on one side and 1 strip of wire on the other side. If you look at the back of the fixture junction plate, then there should be 1 clip terminals on one side and 1 clip terminal on the other side. If you measure the outside tip of the clip from one end to the other outside tip (maximum distance between the clips, ). It should be just shy of 1", it should be around 15/16". then you have a JT 2-wire-wide system.

Lightolier Track System (LT)

The LT system is known as 2-wire-narrow single circuit system. Our LT system is compatible with Lightolier Radius series and may not be compatible with any other series. If you look at the track, then there should be 1 strip of wire on one side and 1 strip of wire on the other side. If you look at the back of the fixture junction plate, then there should be 1 clip terminals on one side and 1 clip terminal on the other side. If you measure the outside tip of the clip from one end to the other outside tip (maximum distance between the clips, ). It should be just more of 12/16", it should be around 13/16". If so, then you have a LT 2-wire-narrow system.

CRI is an index which measure the pleasantness of the light. A typical CRI for Halogen lamp is about 83. Generally, the jewelry store, museum, or high-end clothing store will require high CRI. The higher the CRI, the more true color it can bring out from the object. Back To Top

Color temperature is a measurement of the color of the light. The measurement unit is in Kelvin degree. Color temperature changes during the day. For example, at Las Vegas on Shining day during summer at 9AM is around 6500 K, at 12 PM is around 8500 K, and at 5 PM is around 3500 K. Back To Top

Lamp life is determined by taking a large batch, for example 1000 lamps and light all of them on continuously, when the 500th lamp fails, the average life of the lamp is determined. Back To Top

The beam pattern measure in degree or in many cases refer to as spot (10 degree), narrow flood (20 degree),flood (30 degree) , wide flood (40 degree) is the angle of projection of the lamp. The wider the angle, the more area a lamp can cover. However, the wider the area covered, the dimmer the area gets. Back To Top
