Default Another Track Lighting Question

Kate writes:
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.


Get a track fixture that takes PAR-20 bulbs, and buy 120v PAR-20 LED's
for the fixtures.

Or use this:
