- 1x 4-foot H-Track Section
- 3x Charge 8010 LED Track Heads
- 1x Floating Canopy Power Feed
- 2x Track End Caps
- Mounting Hardware (screws, anchors)
Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your track lighting kit:
- Prepare the Installation Area: Turn off power at the circuit breaker. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and structurally sound.
- Install the Floating Canopy Power Feed: Attach the floating canopy power feed to a standard 120V electrical junction box. The power feed allows for flexible placement along the track.
- Mount the Track: Secure the 4-foot H-track section to the ceiling or wall using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure the track is level and firmly attached.
- Connect Power: Route the electrical wires from the junction box to the floating canopy power feed. Connect the wires according to standard electrical practices (black to black, white to white, ground to ground).
- Install Track Heads: Insert the Charge 8010 LED track heads into the track. Important: The track heads have two contacts on one side. This side must face the groove within the track for proper electrical connection. Rotate the track head into position until it clicks securely.
- Install End Caps: Place the end caps on both ends of the track section to cover exposed wiring and provide a finished appearance.
- Restore Power: Once all components are securely installed and connections are verified, restore power at the circuit breaker.

Operating Instructions
Adjusting Color Temperature (CCT)
Each Charge 8010 LED track head features a 5-CCT selectable switch, allowing you to choose from five different color temperatures:
- 2700K (Warm White)
- 3000K (Soft White)
- 3500K (Neutral White)
- 4000K (Cool White)
- 5000K (Daylight)
To adjust the CCT, locate the small dial on the back of each track head. Rotate the dial to select your desired color temperature. This adjustment must be made individually for each track head.

Dimming
The Charge 8010 LED track kit is fully dimmable. For smooth and continuous dimming performance down to 10%, use an electronic low voltage (ELV) or TRIAC (standard LED/CFL) dimmer switch (sold separately).
Aiming the Lights
Each track head offers 350-degree horizontal rotation and 90-degree vertical tilt, allowing you to direct light precisely where needed.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your track lighting kit, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth to wipe the surfaces of the track and track heads. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or cleaners containing alcohol, as these can damage the finish or electrical components.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the track and track heads for any signs of damage, loose connections, or wear. If any issues are found, disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician or WAC Lighting customer support.
- LEDs: The LED light sources are integrated and not user-replaceable. The long lifespan of the LEDs means replacement is generally not required.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your track lighting kit, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | No power to the fixture; loose wiring; track head not properly seated; circuit breaker tripped. | Check circuit breaker. Ensure all wiring connections are secure. Verify track heads are correctly inserted into the track with contacts facing the groove. |
| Lights flicker or dim inconsistently. | Incompatible dimmer switch; loose connection; faulty track head. | Ensure a compatible ELV or TRIAC dimmer is used. Check for loose wiring. Test with a different track head if available. |
| Incorrect color temperature. | CCT dial set incorrectly. | Adjust the CCT dial on the back of each track head to the desired setting. |
| Track head does not aim correctly. | Mechanism obstruction or damage. | Gently check for any obstructions. Do not force the adjustment. If damaged, contact support. |
