Electrical & Lighting: Track Lighting vs Cable Lighting...what's the difference?
Our home is lacking in ceiling fixtures which makes many of the rooms dark and dreary. I've considered using track lighting in our family room but I'm pretty sure it needs to be hardwired

Find an outlet near the entrance to the room, tap off that outlet to a wall switch location, and complete the circuit to round junction box that would hold a 60 or 100 watt electronic transformer or a surface mount transformer/ live end connector. I would suggest, depending on the size of the room, using an MR16 lamp element (the Kable fixture) and lamp them with a 3 watt LED MR16 lamp (equal to a 20 watt halogen lamp).
If you wanted to add a dimming control, you will need an Electronic Transformer Dimmer.
You can see various Kable Systems from Tech Lighting and WAC Lighting and a few other manufactures. Check on-line for Kable (Tech Lighting spelling) Lighting and you will find a dozen or so on-line sellers.
Good Lighting.....Gary
