  • What are the key differences between single circuit and 2 circuit track lighting systems?

      • Single circuit track has one hot wire that powers all the fixtures on the track. 2 circuit track has two hot wires, allowing the track to be split into two separately controlled zones. Each circuit on a 2 circuit track is typically rated for 20 amps, so the track can support more fixtures total compared to single circuit track.

  • What are some other benefits and limitations of 2 circuit track lighting compared to single circuit?

      • 2 circuit track lighting allows independent control of two zones on one track run, effectively doubling the power capacity compared to single circuit track. However, it has limitations in terms of dimming options and higher installation complexity. 2 circuit track is ideal when separate control is needed, while single circuit is simpler and suitable when all fixtures will be controlled together.

  • Can I control the two circuits of a 2 circuit track system independently with separate switches?

      • Yes, the main advantage of 2 circuit track is the ability to control the two circuits independently with separate wall switches. This allows you to have two separately switched zones of lighting on one track run. Single circuit track only allows control of all the fixtures together with one switch.

  • What is the maximum number of fixtures I can safely install on a 2 circuit track?

      • The total wattage of all fixtures on the track cannot exceed the track's power rating, typically 1920W (120V x 20A x 2 circuits) for 2 circuit track. As a general rule, you can install up to 16 fixtures rated at 75W each or 19 fixtures at 50W each per circuit. However, always check the manufacturer's specifications for the maximum number and wattage of fixtures.

  • Are there dimmable options for 2-circuit track lighting?

      • Dimming 2 circuit track can be tricky. Most 2 circuit track is not recommended for dimming on both circuits simultaneously. However, some systems like WAC Lighting's W track are designed to support 2 circuit dimming. If independent dimming of each circuit is required, it's best to choose a track system specifically made for 2 circuit dimming.
