Install Track Lighting | |
If a room has a ceiling fixture, track lighting can be easily installed by even an inexperienced home electrician with a basic understanding of electricity. It's a job best left to an electrician if there's no fixture because a wire needs to be run and a switch added, work that should be done by a pro. Assuming there's a ceiling fixture, an electrician will charge $85 to install a 4-foot track, 3-head low-voltage Halogen track-lighting kit. The cost includes wiring the track with the necessary end and connector fittings to the existing ceiling box and installing the light units. Safety tip: Before you start, turn the power off at the main circuit panel, not merely at the light switch. |
