track adapter for pendants
Comments (1)I have gone to the site and see that these fixtures are made for use with LBL's monorail system. This is a different animal than the regular track lighting you have now. You can call Juno's technical support line and see if they have something that will make the pendants work. I know that they make transformers from line to low voltage for single pendants. However, whether the LBL product will work with theirs is another question. You may have to change out the track to LBL or return the lights. But before doing anything else, contact the technical support people to see what can be done. I tried to get the 800 number for you but I couldn't get a connection to the website. However, you can find it at www.junolighting.com. I hope this helps....See Moretrack for sliding pendant from side to side?
Comments (1)You can use a line voltage track system. They make special clips to go on the framework of suspended ceilings. Below you will find a link to the utility hook that can be used to hold the fixture, which is wired through the center, if it is chain held. This hook is rated for approximately 25-35 lbs so check with the manufacturer that you decide to go with. This is probably the easiest system to use so that you can get the fixture slid from side to side. If you want to raise the fixture (and it is chain held), you can just lift it and put the links on the hook. If you think that it will not hold it well, then you can add another utility hook for that purpose. If the fixture is on a cord, you can use a second hook and loop it over, although it isn't very attractive. If you have a low voltage fixture, look up the parts and you can do the same thing. I hope that this helps. The parts are made by Nora, Halo, Lightolier and Juno. However, if you purchase one system, you cannot add from another system, as they are different. The only ones that are compatible are Nora and Halo. You can also check out WAC for parts because they make them for all of these manufacturers. I hope that this helps.

Comments (7)We used hanging pendants made by Roost. They only sell to wholesalers who then retail them. We bought ours locally, via our builder, from a design center so got a deal. Don't know hwat you can find in your area, but I have provided an online link below. We also used the Edison-reproduction, multi-filament bulbs they show in the pic. They are about 11 bucks each w/ shipping, but look waaaaaaay cool, esp. when dimmed, and provide all the light you need when at full power. If you go that way, order some spares. We have not had a burnout in 4 years, but we do not use them daily. Also, we did not want a track sitting across our ceiling to steal the eye away from the task lighting hanging below.

There is seating for 3 on the right side of the L. Here is a link that might be useful: Roost retailer link...See Moreconverting canaster lights to hang a pendant light
Comments (5)I have a dumb question--if I were to use a conversion kit like this on an older non-insulation contact recessed can, may I put insulation over (or in contact with) the can afterwards? It would seem that the heat generated by the bulb would be dispersed in the kitchen air space and that the edison connection adapter should not generate significant amount of heat.
