Track lighting for kitchen- LED spotlights?
I know people hate it but it’s what i’ve got and and it’s not feasible to replace it, nor is it feasible to add in more electric boxes to the ceiling for other fixtures. I’m trying maximize what I’m stuck with.
The track is over my island and provides the primary lighting for my small but open kitchen. It’s pretty standard H track. When my renovation is finished I will also have LED strip lighting under the open shelves on the perimeter wall.
I would like to add more light, especially to the top part of the room. I currently have metal pendants hung from the track and they only shine light downwards. My 11 foot ceilings tend to disappear in the gloom.
The track itself is 7ft long and from some basic googling it seems that the rule is one fixture per foot of track. So that means I have room, theoretically, for four more fixtures on the track. I thought I could get some spotlights and bounce light off the ceilings and upper walls. However, I’ve noticed the price of fixtures varies considerably, from about ten bucks each to a couple hundred each. If I buy the cheaper light, are they going to break or burn out right away? Since getting them onto the track will involve hiring someone (11 foot ceilings and me petrified of being on ladders), I want them to go up and then I don’t have to think about them for years.
What is the practical difference between this fixture for $28
vs. This one for $270
I’m on a super low budget, just having spent a lot of money on cabinets and some new appliances, so the cheaper ones would be better if they can do what I need, but I could wait and save up if the cheaper ones are just junk. How do I even evaluate though?
