The lights themselves work very well. I am 2 sets of them for my living room in my apartment, and for the price, they do a very good job lighting up the living room. I like that they do not have to be hardwired, so it’s easy to install without an electrician.
The loss of a star however is for the poor hardware included for mounting, specifically the screws. The screws are of very poor quality as they are made of very soft metal. I was able to tear the head off the shaft using hand strength with a screwdriver. The shaft is now stuck in my drywall. I’m using some Walmart brand screwdrivers, so these are not super hard steel, but whatever steel they used to make these screws, it’s even softer than that. See the attached picture of the broken screw head. When you go buy lightbulbs, get some better screws from your local hardware store as well, or find another way of mounting them, like high strength double sided tape, or you’ll end up like me with a screw shaft stuck in your drywall.

It was easy to install. It comes with drywall anchors and screws for you to install the mounting bracket, then just slide the light piece into the screws and secure it with the caps. It took me a while because I didn’t have an electric drill and pilot bit so I had to manually make a hole with a screwdriver. The flaw of the lamp is that the light switch is too close to the end of the cord. Unless the outlet is directly below the lamp, the switch will be running along the ground like in my photo. Only time will tell if this lamp will last but for now it’s a cheap solution.

I needed this for a hallway that had no light, very dark. I also wasn’t going to invest in an electrician to install a light. Ive had a plug in track before but its no longer available. This was a great price, easy to install and nice and bright! I turned the hall into a gallery space. A little bummed it doesnt have a dimmer, but for all other intents and purposes it really brightens up a dark space.

These track lights were perfect for my kitchen lighting project. We have a counter area that has a bar and there are no cabinets there, so it could not make use of under cabinet lighting, and was always a little dim. I mounted these on the wall above the bar, pointing down at the counter. Really like that you can install these on the ceiling or a wall. Now that they are installed, the effect works beautifully!
Some things to note:
* On the mounting bracket, there are 2 screws that are held in with nuts. Be sure to tighten the nuts thoroughly before mounting it to the wall (or ceiling), otherwise you won’t be able to get the track lights to fit tightly up against the mounting bracket since the screws will be loose.
* The suction cup for the bulbs is a joke. It’s supposed to make it easy to install/uninstall the bulbs, but the suction cup does not grip it. Even wetting it first does not work. I ended up doing this with my fingers which was a little tricky but I eventually got it. I bought the optional LED bulbs along with it (you’ll see it when you add the track lights to your cart), those are supposed to last 20 years so hopefully I’ll not have to deal with it again.
* For the cord, I recommend the Delamu Cable Concealer also sold here on Amazon. This lets you neatly hide the cord and traverse it properly down the wall, without ugly wires hanging out. This really worked out well.
* I ended up removing the inline on/off switch in favor of a dimmer. The on/off switch works fine just wanted a dimmer. I got the Zeifun inline dimmer switch also sold here on Amazon, and I’m really happy with the result.
* Between the track lights, bulbs, cord concealer, and dimmer switch, the whole project was under $75, and was a great little home improvement project. I took my time over the weekend, working an hour or two here and there, and it turned out great!
Highly recommended track lights and related components described above!!

This light track is very nicely made. Looks very polished and professional. With the 4 bulbs burning strong, this light booms out the brightness despite its small footprint ! If I need another one, I’d definitely come back for another one. Gotta love the 15′ cord.

I haven’t even installed them yet and I can already see that replacing the bulbs will be a nightmare. It was a pain in the rear to put them in when the fixtures are sitting on the counter, when they are in the ceiling won’t this be fun. If I had time, I’d return and find something else. The “bulb installation tool” is a suction cup!! 🤣🤣🤣
Otherwise, the fixtures seem to be good quality and the lighting is good.

Easy to install, wires are long, aesthetically looks elegant and properly spotlights. Only downside, bulbs are harder to put in, decides that super awesome thank you.

I’ve lived where I do now for over ten years. There’s been a space in my living room I wanted something like this pretty much since I moved here. I finally pulled the trigger and realistically couldn’t be happier. I’ll start by debunking some of the other reviews.
The brightness: I have a regular 100, 200, 300 watt halogen floor lamp in the corner. This thing throws off more light with 50W equivolent LED daytime bulbs than that does. That’s actually a bit brighter than what I was looking for. I want one step above a night light almost. The section of the room below this has a lot of collectibles on it that I basically want to be able to see in an otherwise dark room. I ordered some 3W 25 watt equivolent bulbs and we’ll see how those do. I’ll think they’ll be just about perfect. I saw somebody talk about using 20 watt equivolent to accent his artwork. I have high hopes for getting what I’m looking for out of those.
The light bulbs are hard to change: Not really. This comes with a suction cup type of thing that’s used to stick onto the front of the light bulb and twist it in or out of place. I was able to use my thumbs and push one side up and the other side down and twist them in pretty damn easily like that. The idea that the light bulbs are hard to change is very overrated. I’m not picking on any specific commenter here. But that’s one of the things you have to be aware of when looking at reviews on Amazon. A lot of people just don’t know what they’re doing and blame the user error on the product. That’s 100% what’s going on with anybody having issues changing the light bulbs.
The suction effect: Huh? Is this supposed to be about the suction cup that’s used to change the light bulbs? It works fine for what it is. It’s supposed to grip it enough to enable you to twist it in and out. You aren’t supposed to be able to hang a boat anchor from it. I also saw somebody say something about double sided tape to hang it up with. I didn’t see any double sided tape in my package. That must be a method of hanging it they came up with. Any issues related to that are on the choice of tape used. I was able to use two flat head push pins or thumbtacks to mount it long enough to see if I liked it where it was. It’s light enough that it could probably be hung like that permanently as long as you aren’t hitting the thing a lot. They would have to be flat head, though.
Other stuff: If you want to mount this on the wall, you won’t be able to mount it right up against the ceiling and still have the ability to move the specific light around. There won’t be enough room. You’ll have to mount it an inch or two lower to enable movement of the heads.
A 15 foot cord soulds pretty long. The lights are hung directly above an electrical outlet that’s on a light switch for me. I was almost worried the 15 feet would be too muc. It’s really not. If you’re going to be hanging these too far away from an electrical outlet, you’ll probably need an extension cord of some kind. Just a quick heads up there.
I’m sure there are better quality versions out there. Here’s the thing. How many people are going to be close enough to tell the qualit once it’s hung up??? It’s still a 4 out of 5 for overall quality. A 5 out of 5 would cost at least twice as much to possibly three times as much or a little more. For the vast majority of people, the price difference would NOT be worth the slight upgrade in quality. Nobody will notice.
Good product. If you’re reading this far down, give it a shot. You won’t be disappointed.

The lights were perfect for my space. The bulb installation may be tricky if you have issues with hand dexterity, however. I am not at all skilled in hanging anything and these were a breeze to anchor and hang.
