How do I install Ikea track lighting where traditional track lighting existed previously?
Kitchen Remodeler asked:
My apartment formerly had traditional track lighting, but now all that’s left is a live end connector sticking out of the wall (not sure if it’s H, J, or L standard); even the track itself is gone. I’m thinking of purchasing Ikea’s “Termosfar” track lighting system to use at the same location but am not sure how to figure out what additional parts will be needed to install the low-voltage Ikea system into the existing infrastructure. Help!

I am finishing my basement and have installed 6″ recessed lighting housings. I don’t know if I would be better off installing baffles and trim for PAR 30 or PAR 38 halogen lighting. Any suggestions or thoughts?? Which is more common?

Is it easy to install recessed lighting?
Gallo asked:
I have a little experience with switching out globes and simple electric wiring. How much more difficult is it to install recessed lighting?
I have a little experience with switching out globes and simple electric wiring. How much more difficult is it to install recessed lighting?
The developers left two holes that are capped off in our lower floor and I’d like to throw in some more light. Is it a similar and non time consuming project?
I believe they already wired everything to a switch in the wall. There’s a switch on the wall that leads to nothing, so I believe they ran the wiring to the two holes to that one switch….

I have looked at Insteon, X-10 and HAI products, but would like to know if any can be installed in a home where the lighting is all pre-wired in the cieling (recessed lights)
What I have is several rooms where my builder wired up to 10 wall/cieling lights to one switch. I would like to separate some of them and put dimmers on others. Is it possible to use the Insteon type relays to automate individual lights?
