Default Another Track Lighting Question

Kate wrote:
Sorry to be a bother again.

I am still researching track heads. I have the linear track, but want
to go from a Halogen light to an LED light. Most of all, I would like a
more modern fixture.

I am finding out that most track heads are of no use once the LED light
burns out. The entire fixture needs to be replaced. From what I am
told, the average LED will last 32,000 hours, or 35 years. There is no
warranty either. I love the thought of never climbing another ladder to
the top of my cathedral ceiling to change a light bulb.

With my luck, the LED would burn out in a year.

So, would you purchase 13 fixtures where the LED light cannot be
replaced once it burns out, and there is no warranty?

Thanks for any and all feedback.

Kate


Hi,
If your only reason is ladder climbing, you can hire hand man.
My reason going for LED is to save $$ hopefully. I saw LEDs with
two pins sticking out for connection similar to Halogen. There ought
to be a track similar to Halogen ones.
