Tiella 800CBL5PN-LED, Accent Electronic Low Volt Surface Track Lighting Kits, LED Compatible, Nickel

We are so happy with this kit. We were able to afford the cable lighting that my husband and I hoped to have "some day". Custom assemblies and other kits are so much more pricey. We bought 2 for our kitchen. After we removed the drop ceiling, we discovered a beam that can't be removed, so we kept the soffits. The cables run between them on either side of the beam. They cast unique light/shadows on the ceiling. In time, we hope we don't have the transformer issues that some people have. Initially, I was concerned that the 20 watt bulbs might not be bright enough. Now, I prefer them. If I want a lot of light for cleaning daylight is best, but we have bright light above the sink, the eat in area and the stove. Plus, we added cabinet lighting. They look great! Installation worked well. We had only 2 issues: 1) One kit didn't include the small allen (sp?) wrench, but we had it in the other. 2) 2 of the light assemblies didn't work. We swapped out a bulb in one, so think it might be the assembly. Maybe we can get them to work, but since we only used 8 lights we didn't spend a lot of time trouble-shooting.

I bought two of these kits because I needed 10 lights. I swapped out the five 20W Halogen lights for ten 7W LED replacements. The 100 W transformer can easily handle the 70 total LED watts and the setup is dimmable. I was concerned that the 10 fixtures would make the cable sag. It does, but I found a sort of solution (below).The installation of this cable light kit can be complicated. Some examples:1) Allen wrenches - As others have said, there is a problem with the size (or sizes) of the Allen wrenches used to tighten or remove various set screws. The Instruction Manual shows two (2) small Allen wrenches included, while there are really three (3), each a different size. Make sure you have three, and use the right one. The smallest, for example, is needed to loosen and tighten the set screws to insert the light bulb posts.2) Ceiling mount 1 - The Manual shows 3 possible installation options, two of which involve mounting the posts on the ceiling. But the post without the turnbuckle does not easily accommodate a ceiling mount, as the cable is inserted into the END of the post. Fortunately, the cable is soft and bends easily – just be sure to tighten the set screws securely (using the right Allen wrench!). Note that in this installation if the cables pass over the transformer cover, they come close to but don’t touch it.3) Ceiling mount 2 - I needed to mount both ends of the cable to posts on the ceiling. This was not difficult, as I did not hit any joists above the drywall. Unfortunately, the torque on the end of the posts when the cable was tightened by the turnbuckle caused the posts to lean inwards because the drywall anchors were not solid enough to take the strain. I had to back off the tightness a bit, and that’s when the cable sagged a little.4) Sagging cable – Fortunately I had two complete kits, giving me an extra set of the posts without the turnbuckle. After removing the lowest set screw, I drilled all the way through the post there. I mounted these posts in the middle of my cable, ran the cables through the new holes and the sag was significantly reduced.5) Shortening the power cables – My installation took the cables right over the transformer cover and the foot-long power cables looked bad and needed to be shortened. Apparently, the manufacturer does not want to have the end connector removed from the power cable, as the Allen set screws seemed to have been “stripped”. None of the provided Allen wrenches would turn the set screws. My McGuyver answer was a tiny Torx screwdriver that I could force into the set screw and get it to turn. After cutting and stripping each insulated cable, I was able to reinsert the end into the connector and retighten the set screws with the Torx. Looks much better.6) Something I missed – The silver washers that are used in mounting the posts need to be put so the slight cutout faces the mounting surface. This little space accommodates the likely protrusion of the top of the drywall anchor screw, and results in a nice flat mounting.I’m quite happy with the product and my handiwork. We can now illuminate a number of African carvings we have collected but never properly displayed. By installing a series of “floating” shelves along an unused wall down a hallway, we will have not only a nice art display but also lots of light.

I had a wire track light in my kitchen that was ready to be replaced. I loved the look so much, I wanted to replace it with a similar wire track light. Surprisingly, this one was only a very few that I found, not only on here, but on a Google search. I didn't like the price. I think it was a bit overpriced but still purchased it. Result, I couldn't be happier how everything came out after remove/replace. It looks better than the original I had! It's given my kitchen a modern and elegant look. Now, much of this is due to the lamp bulbs that I got for it. Be ready, they are around $25-30 bucks each! Be sure that you follow the manufactures watts and volts for the bulbs! This is what brought my original lamp to an end. But like I mentioned before, I am very happy how everything came out and so will you! So, this wire track lamp is $220, and the five lamp bulbs came out to $130, total...$350! Yes, it is pricey, but folks, you will love the look of this lamp that has multiple applications! If you can stretch the cost, you will not be disappointed!

I just put these up and the process was painless. I am very happy with them. Are the bulb fixtures a bit chintzy? Yeah, but 1 - no one will ever notice from even a few feet away, and 2 - to get high quality fixtures, you'd pay almost as much for one as you do for this entire set (literally, they're like $150 each).I'm super happy with the quality. The only tricky bit is going LED (because anyone using halogens today is crazy... I tried one 20w halogen and it was like 25% the brightness of a 5w LED I had in another socket). As others have stated, the problem is that the transformer needs a certain amount of draw... even with all 5 sockets filled with 5w LEDs (which are wicked bright btw), the lights flickered slightly. Replacing one LED with a 20w halogen fixed the flicker, so it seems like it wants at least 45 watts of draw (ish, I didn't test all combinations).However, my plan is to buy a few more of these sets and connect them together. If 5x 20w halogens on one transformer is fine, that means I can run 4 sets of these off one transformer, with 5x 5w LED bulbs in each. Which is actually kinda handy.And all of this is WAY less expensive than having a professional do it, or using the higher end cable lighting systems.Unless you really have money to throw away and really want the fancier looking fixtures, just get this (and actually, you can get one or two of the fancy fixtures that'll work on these cables just fine).
