- Select bulb: This track light accommodates 30-250 Watt PAR16, R20, PAR20, PAR30, or PAR38 lamps with an E26 bulb base. Ensure the chosen bulb's wattage does not exceed the fixture's maximum rating.
4.2 Attaching the Track Bullet

- Control: If connected to a compatible track system with touch control, push button, or dimmer switch, operate the light using these external controls.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your track bullet.
- Cleaning: Disconnect power before cleaning. Wipe the fixture with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.
- Bulb Replacement: Disconnect power before replacing bulbs. Allow the bulb to cool completely. Unscrew the old bulb and replace it with a new one of the correct type and wattage (E26 base, 30-250W PAR16/R20/PAR20/PAR30/PAR38).
- Inspection: Periodically check for any loose connections or signs of wear.
