LitesNow Valo Instant Track Lighting Kit with Three Light Fixtures and Shades, White #KV0003

bought same product from Lowe's a few years ago, no problem....but this time the plastic was so hard, had extreme difficulty trying to unroll it to lay flat on the wall, seemed as if the plastic material to which you mounted the light fixtures was very brittle, product seemed to be old, every time I laid it flat on wall it snapped off, tearing a newly painted wall... did not like the instructions that you only had one chance to get it right

This is an aweseome, easy to use product. I'm a stay-home mom and consultant and I installed this myself on a popcorn ceiling. Now, it won't adhere to the popcorn ceiling and it clearly states this in the instructions. So, what do you do? -First, buy a long piece of wood that will accomodate as much of the lighting strip as you want on your ceiling. -Go to Home Depot or Lowe's and buy the smallest heavyweight "toggles" which are strong, strong anchors that will support weight of something hanging from a ceiling (unlike mollies, etc.) -Buy a drill bit that will drill a hole big enought to insert the toggles into the ceiling. (Look for the bit size on the toggle package.) - Drill 2 small holes into your wooden strip for the toggle screws to fit through (one on either end of the strip). -Push the screws through the wood. -Place the toggle on the screw. -Use the large drill bit and drill holes in the ceiling where you want the toggles. -Push the toggle into the ceiling and let the spring open up on the other side of the hole. -Hold the piece of wood and use a screwdriver to tighten the screws so that the wood becomes flush with the ceiling. -So far, this whole process MIGHT take you 10 minutes. -Once the wood is secured, stand on a chair or ladder and mount the valo strip to the wood. (DO NOT MOUNT IT AHEAD OF TIME. YOU CAN'T DRILL THROUGH IT.) - Follow the rest of the instructions to connect the lights and cord. It's simple and looks great! Hint: the narrowest piece of wood looks the best with the track. The lighter-weight wood the better. It is simply a surface for the track to adhere to and does not need to be structurally that thick. Something the thickness and structure of a yard-stick would do perfectly. :)Meredith

The installation is easy enough as long as you follow the directions and are careful with the adhesive strips. The quality is a little on the low side, with the light fixtures and optional frosted shades (purchased separately) all being constructed out of fairly light plastic. The lamp assemblies feel fragile and the flexible necks don't seem to stay in place too well, so be careful when making adjustments. The dimmer switch is adequate, but larger than it needs to be and also feels cheap. It works as described, but if I had it to do over again, I probably would spend a few more dollars and find something of higher quality.

very easy to install and allows for tremendous decorative appeal to be added in short time and for little bucks. works very well and looks great. However, you do get what you pay for. Would not recommend for a room that you had spent thousands of dollars furnishing and decorating, the quality is just not compatible. however, it is great when matched up with the DIY kids playroom or bedroom or home office, etc. The electrical strip for the powersupply can be painted to match the wall color, but it is still kinda there and you can't miss it, but you can get used to it especially if it matches the DIY decor of the rest of the room. dimmer switch is nice feature. more of an accent lighting, unless you install a few of them throughout the room.

Don't try to install this on a popcorn ceiling. Even after taking off popcorn and cleaning an area, I still can't get the track to stick.

I originally bought this type of system through another brand name (sold at Home Depot) and was very disappointed. The strip went up fine, lights clicked in easily, etc....but the power cord was only 8 feet long with the option of placing a switch somewhere along that 8 foot distance. I would have needed to use an extension cord. But the deal breaker for me was the "buzz". The transformer box at the end of the plug buzzed so loud I could hear it in the next room which made that system unusable for me. This Valo system has an 8' power strip that goes from the lights to the dimmer switch then ANOTHER 8 feet power cord to the plug. With a total of 16 feet there was no more need for an extension cord. But the best part...NO BUZZ!!! This system is quiet and extremely easy to install. And for those who think that it's not bright enough pay attention to the description. This is a set of 3 20-watt lamps. They are not meant for intense lighting. But the accent affect is outstanding. And since the light strip is bendable it can go amost anywhere. Another huge bonus it has over the other system is that the power cord and strip (to the switch) has it's own adhesive backing. The other system I picked up (from another store) did not have adhesive on the cord so I would have had to buy casing tube to fit over it. This Valo system has everything you need and looks great!

These lights are great, easy to install in any room. Its too bad they have been discontinued and are getting hard to find. The only odd thing about them is that sometimes the switch gets a little hot.

Fast shipping works great, thank you!
