FlexTrack lighting problems 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
I'm trying to install a flextrack lighting system in my studio but can't get it to come on. It's a bit unusal (that I've seen) set up. It's a finished basement room with a can light and right next to it a standard light box (up to now with nothing on it). Both systems have their own wires leading from the single light switch. Both are attached to the electricity at the light switch.

I know both sets are getting power because I tried a standard lighting kit and it lit fine. But when I try to attach the flextrack system to the standard light box, it won't light up. By the way: I have two of the flextrack sets and neither worked. Also tried multiple heads and bulbs.

Do all the lights have to be on the track for the system to work? I've been only trying with one.
Is there some fuse or switch (can't see one) somewhere on the transformer box (the part wiring to the house system)that I need to check?

Any other suggestions.
Thanks, Not Shocked yet Aggie.

Sorry,

Without knowing more about this light track, I cant help you. It sounds like this is low voltage lighting with a built in transformer. This would mean that that it takes your switched 110VAC into the transformer and converts to a lower voltage lighting. You need to verify that the transformer is rated for the the correct incoming voltage and that the lights are rated for the transformers output voltage. Plus you need to check if there is a fuse or a breaker on the secondary of the transformer. I don't believe that it would matter that there is only one light hooked up.
