Specialty Electric installs LED track lighting across San Diego County. We lay out the track, bring power to it from a junction box, and aim every head at the art, counter or wall it's meant to light. You can see the heads we install lit on the track display at Fan Diego's San Diego showroom, 8020 Clairemont Mesa Blvd. Quotes are free.

Match the heads to the track.
Track heads only fit the track they're made for. WAC's H, J and L tracks look alike but aren't interchangeable, and Lucio and Paloma heads run on WAC's W track. Tell us what's on your ceiling now, or send a photo, and we'll match the heads to it, or replace the track if it's time.
Light the thing, not the room.
Track works best when each head is aimed at something: a painting, a kitchen island, a bookcase or a fireplace wall. Narrow and spot beams pick out art; flood beams wash a wall or a counter. For art we recommend 3000K warm white with a 90+ CRI, which shows true color. See also art and picture light installation.
Power and placement.
A track run starts at a junction box, fed with a live-end connector. Where there's no box in the right spot, we run power to a new one. Runs can be cut to length and joined for longer walls.
Track heads we install
These are the same WAC heads as on the track display in Fan Diego's San Diego showroom, in 3000K warm white with 90+ CRI. Choose the beam and finish at Fan Diego, and we lay out the track, run power and aim every head. A track run needs three things: the rail, a live-end connector that feeds it power, and heads made for that track.

Frequently asked questions
Can track lighting go where there's no ceiling box?
Yes. We run power to a new junction box where the track should start, then mount the track and connect it.
How do I know which track I have?
H, J and L tracks look alike but take different heads. Send us a photo or the brand name on the track, and we'll tell you which heads fit.
What's the best track light for art?
A head with a narrow or spot beam in 3000K warm white and 90+ CRI, aimed to avoid glare on the glass. Museum-style heads like WAC Paloma are made for it.
Can I add heads later?
Yes. As long as the track has the capacity, heads click on and can be moved and re-aimed.
How much does track lighting installation cost?
Every track job is quoted. Email or text us photos of the ceiling and the wall you want to light, or we can come out and quote it on site. Quotes are free.
