Tracks are used when mounting adjustable light fixtures. The tracks also come with electrical wiring that removes the need to wire each fixture directly. Since they enable adjustment as needed, the tracks can be mounted on walls or ceilings of the workspace.

Brightness or dimness

Dim light can be uncomfortable and cause eye gloominess, while too bright light will lead to eyestrain and headaches. Therefore, a good commercial light should balance the two to avoid inconvenience.
