Track lighting, and rail lights can provide both ambient and focused lighting. Track lighting has changed dramatically in recent years with the addition of modern track lighting styles, halogen bulbs and a wide variety of finishes. These new systems provide a softer light that can help reduce eye-strain.

Rail lights can be used to add drama and flair to a room. Used properly, rail and track lighting can accent particular features of your home, like architectural details or artwork. Focus points like these should have three times as much light on them as the surrounding ambient light. The expert lighting consultants at Hortons Home Lighting can help you configure the rail lighting in your home to create your desired effect. Many existing tracks can be used with new track head pendants to match your new decorating plan. View our online rail & track lighting gallery.

Track Lighting Tip:
Halogen bulbs are very hot when lit, so keep them well away from curtains and any flammable materials. The universal nature of track and rail lighting allows you to put light into areas where there is not a readily available source of electricity.
