Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Sleek and urban-looking, the three flexible lights on this LitesNow Valo track lighting kit cast striking illumination on a reading chair, work area, or art display. Designed for speedy do-it-yourself installation, the set requires no complicated electrical maneuvers and plugs into the wall, a ceiling can, or a wall sconce for power. Its track is a 1-inch-wide, 8-foot-long adhesive strip that bends, wraps, and turns corners for maximum versatility. Controlled by a dimmer, the lights range from soft to strong illumination with flexible shafts for angling light direction.

Ready to install with a simple set of instructions, the kit includes three silver light fixtures with 20-watt halogen bulbs. Including the 8-foot adhesive strip and the 8-foot power cord, the unit totals 24 feet of overall reach. The low-voltage transformer is equipped with an automatic shut-off in case of a short, and the entire set is UL-listed. For maximum versatility, the strip and track can be painted, cut with scissors, and removed with dental floss. The set is suitable for drywall, metal, wood, brick, cinder block, soundboard, bulletin board, wallpaper, painted surfaces, cubicle fabric, and paneling. Installation takes around 15 minutes, and the kit includes all necessary hardware. Snap-on colored and metal shades are available separately. --Emily Bedard

This review is from: LitesNow Valo Instant Track Do-it-Yourself 3 Fixture Plug in Track Lighting Kit, Silver (Tools & Home Improvement)

I originally bought this type of system through another brand name (sold at Home Depot) and was very disappointed. The strip went up fine, lights clicked in easily, etc....but the power cord was only 8 feet long with the option of placing a switch somewhere along that 8 foot distance. I would have needed to use an extension cord. But the deal breaker for me was the "buzz". The transformer box at the end of the plug buzzed so loud I could hear it in the next room which made that system unusable for me. This Valo system has an 8' power strip that goes from the lights to the dimmer switch then ANOTHER 8 feet power cord to the plug. With a total of 16 feet there was no more need for an extension cord. But the best part...NO BUZZ!!! This system is quiet and extremely easy to install. And for those who think that it's not bright enough pay attention to the description. This is a set of 3 20-watt lamps. They are not meant for intense lighting. But the accent affect is outstanding. And since the light strip is bendable it can go amost anywhere. Another huge bonus it has over the other system is that the power cord and strip (to the switch) has it's own adhesive backing. The other system I picked up (from another store) did not have adhesive on the cord so I would have had to buy casing tube to fit over it. This Valo system has everything you need and looks great!

I bought this system from Bed, Bath & Beyond for $25 on clearance and was blown away at the ease of installation, the beauty once up on the wall, and the spotlighting it provided above my dining area. My living room (in Manhattan) has no lighting, and angling these lamps on the dining table have made the entire room come alive. The style goes incredibly well with all our coffee colored furniture and modern pieces. Since we couldn't go any electric work in our apt., this adhesive system is PERFECT!

3.0 out of 5 stars Valo Accent instant Lighting, February 4, 2005

This review is from: LitesNow Valo Instant Track Lighting Kit with Three Light Fixtures and Shades, White #KV0003 (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased this light set directly from the manufacturer in early december 2004. It arrived in time for New Years. The installation was fairly straight forward. Locate a suitable wall area and clean off any dust or grime. Run a line with a Level to use as a guide for the Track. Read the Instructions TWICE! Once you remove the protective backing from the track adhesive, you only have ONE CHANCE to get it applied correctly. It does not come off the wall! The lights and power connections are snap on, making the total install time less than 10 minutes. The Lighting effect is great for reading and area illumination. On thing I found is that the power cord and switch get VERY Warm after an hour's on time. I don't know if this is a problem yet as I have referred it to Lite's Now for advise.
