Kits have all of the hardware you need. Then you make them your own with your choice of a wide variety of pendants or fixtures. Single Circuit or 2-Circuit 2-Circuit MonoRail allows individual fixtures to be independently switched or dimmed. Mounting Some systems offer more mounting options than others.
Mounting is available for flat ceilings, angled, vaulted ceilings or dropped T-grid ceilings. Cables allow the monorail to be suspended from the ceiling. Some systems allow you to attach or cantilever monorail from the wall. Connecting Most Monorail systems have live and isolating connectors. Dead-End isolating connectors allow you to switch and dim sections of rail separately. They also allow you to have more lights on track on separate circuits without exceed the rating on the system.
If electricity is already in place and you cannot access the area needed, a surface transformer simply mounts to a junction box. The higher the wattage you choose, the larger the surface transformer. A standoff is used to drop the rail from the ceiling. As a good rule of thumb, use standoff supports for every three feet of MonoRail run and at corners. You may position standoffs to cover points where rails are joined.
Adjustable standoffs have cables that give the system a clean and elegant look.

The basis for either of these systems is the track or the rail itself.
Track typically comes in 2-foot, 4-foot- 6-foot and 8-foot lengths, and can be shortened by field-cutting a long length or lengthened by connecting several tracks together. Monorail generally comes in 4-foot and 8-foot lengths, can be bent to shorten and requires mounting hardware. Either lighting system will need, of course, power. Track systems are volts, so they only require a power feed to connect the track line to your home's wiring.
Monorail systems are a bit more involved. These are usually low-voltage systems and require their own transformer. Transformers come in both surface-mounted and remote options to accommodate various installation requirements. Learn more: What's the difference between line and low voltage? The point of either system is to light a space, so the actual light fixtures are a key ingredient here. Track lighting offers a much larger range of light outputs with directional fixtures —options include standard bulbs, line- and low-voltage halogen and LEDs.
When selecting your light fixtures for a track system, keep a running tally on the wattage of each. While the system itself is not limited, the circuit you are installing onto might be. Work with your electrician to make sure the circuit can handle the light fixtures you want to use.
Monorail systems offer a much wider array of decorative fixtures, including a diverse range of mini pendants. These can be used on their own or combined with directional heads to create a complete system with multiple lighting functions. When planning a monorail system, work backwards. In most instances, a track lighting system is easier to install. The tracks can be cut to size and the components just snap together.
The track itself will mount directly to the ceiling or a mounting substrate. Your gift will appear in your cart. One gift per customer, while supplies last.
