Long runs, fewer jointsThe LCTKL-8PI-BK is an 8-foot
track section of the H type. Its length is its main asset: in a long kitchen, a gallery, a restaurant dining room or a retail aisle, one section spans a distance that would otherwise require several shorter pieces, which means
fewer connectors to install and a more continuous line on the ceiling. It is also easier to align one long piece than several short ones. This is the BK version of the part, and a WH version is also offered in the same family, so the rail can suit the ceiling and the décor.
Stay within the H typeTrack systems come in several types, each with its own heads and accessories. Because this rail is an
H-type track, choose heads, straight or corner connectors, live-end feeds and end caps designed for H-type track, and check the labels whenever you add components over the years. Keeping one type across the whole project makes the installation consistent and your future purchases simple, whether you add a single
accent light or a full row of heads.
Planning a long runMeasure the room and mark the run on the ceiling plan before buying. Decide where the power will enter the track, ideally close to an existing
junction box, and note any corners or branches that will need connectors. When the run is longer than one section, combine this rail with the
4-foot track in the same BK version to reach the right length. Fasten the rail securely along its whole length and keep it perfectly straight with a chalk line or a laser level: on a
long track, even a small deviation is visible from across the room.
Where an 8-foot rail makes senseOpen-concept kitchens and dining rooms, basement family rooms, lofts, galleries, boutiques, restaurants, offices and showrooms all benefit from a long, continuous line of
commercial track lighting or residential accent light. Turn the power off at the breaker and have a qualified electrician make the connection according to the electrical code in your province. If the project calls for the other code, the
8-foot track in WH is the same section. Made for residential and commercial projects, this rail is a solid base for any
track lighting system.
