Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Stylish track lighting is easier than it looks with the Valo hardwire do-it-yourself kits from LitesNow. Fitted with three flexible white fixtures, this kit is designed to attach to a standard junction box and adhere to the ceiling with a simple track strip. The low-voltage 20-watt halogen bulbs direct light onto workspaces, artwork, dining areas, or reading chairs and turn on with an established wall switch. Useful throughout the home or office, the kit features 6 feet of powertape to connect to the junction and 8 feet of track, as well as a low-voltage transformer and cover. Both track and tape cut easily with scissors and the track can bend or wrap for creative placement. It can also be painted to blend with décor and removed with dental floss. Suitable for drywall, metal trim, wood, brick, cinder block, soundboard, bulletin board, wallpaper, painted surfaces, cubicle fabric, and paneling, the kit includes all necessary hardware. Colored and metal shades are available separately. --Emily Bedard

This lighting is just what I needed

4.5 star

Maybe the previous reviewer didn't read the instructions... I put my kit up in about 20 minutes and I love it. It was more than I hoped for. The track is so thin it almost disappears. They had a special trick in the instructions to get it aligned straight using a thread and two pins. The hardwire cover is a cool design too. Everything snapped right together and the fixtures, while made of plastic are so minimal they show off the light, not the fixture. I noticed the transformer is the same brand and type my electrician installed on an expensive pendant fixture and the transformer alone cost me $40! I purchased two more kits at my local hardware store and now I am a pro. I painted one track to match my wall, it disappeared. I highly recommend this product but read the instructions cover to cover.

I got these track lights after seeing them in my friend's home after she installed them. I had been searching the lighting stores, but everything else is so obtrusive looking. These lights and strip are much thinner, paintable, plus the transformers can be hidden away--mine are in the attic. The cost is reasonable and LitesNow(Westinghouse) is a reliable company. As with any new product, read the instructions, heed the warnings and follow directions. My only wish is that they could be a little brighter. They have been in constant use in my family room for over a year.

Unless you're desperate to have low voltage lighting, do not get this product. I bought it impulsively because I wanted to use halogen lighting on this one picture in my living room. Sounded good, instant installation meant instant gratification. Plus it was cheap, 20 bucks on sale here. Well, what I got were sort of as advertised, the self adhesive track, lights, and the transformer. However, the picture doesn't show just how cheap the track or lights are until you hold them in your hands. The installation was not as easy as it advertised because the track was extemely sticky(I guess that was the point for an "easy" tooless install) which made it impossible to do a complete straight line. After I finally slapped the track onto my wall, I attempted to clip on the lights which required quite a bit of force as the clamps weren't flexible at all. In the process, I cracked two of the lovely frosted plastic shades. After about forty minutes, I plugged it in and there was light... for about 15 minutes and then the transformer shut itself down. So I tinkered and tinkered and finally realized the transformer basically died. Since it was so cheap, I decided to just chuck it all away. So I used a dental floss and a blow dryer to remove the track as recommended but the track simply refused to budge. I ended up just tearing it along with chunks of my drywall off. All in all, it wasn't a fun experience and learned that yet again I really did get what I paid for.
