Track Lighting with a confusing extension

8 years ago

Hi,
Could someone remark on how this might have been done. I am told that the white square that the fixture hangs on is a mounting box. But it gets power from a track. Is this a kit that anyone recognizes? Is this some sort of special mounting box? I have been on the phone with three lighting stores and they seem flummoxed.
Thank you.

I don't recognize this, sorry.

I suggest you take it down and look inside for a manufacturer name & model #. It could be from the same company as the track OR might have been a custom piece created by the electrician that installed that pendant.

Good Luck!

If the box is "getting its power" from the track, where is the track getting its power from? Do you see another mounting box somewhere along the track?

It is possible that the small connector between track runs is the power feed (see image). Be sure to turn off the power circuit and remove the small screw & faceplate here.

Since you have not shown the entire length it is possible the track power feed is at one end or the other.
