    Locate the track adapter on the top of the lighting head. Ensure the polarity tab (if present) is aligned correctly for your track system. Some adapters may have a locking mechanism or a switch to select polarity.

  4. Secure the Head: Once inserted, twist or slide the track head to lock it securely into the track. Refer to your specific track system's instructions for locking mechanisms. The head should feel firmly attached and not wobble.
  5. Install the Bulb: Carefully insert the appropriate light bulb (not included) into the socket of the fixture. Do not exceed the maximum wattage of 39 Watts. For most track heads, this involves pushing and twisting a GU10 bulb or screwing in a PAR20 bulb.
  6. Adjust Direction: Once installed, you can adjust the direction of the light by swiveling the head on its axis and tilting the lamp body.
  7. Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the circuit breaker.
