Product Review for George Kovacs GK Lightrail Kit with 5 Fixed Heads in Sable Bronze Patina
I got this fixture to use in a small space over a bar, where ordinary track lighting was just too big and clunky. It is just gorgeous as an "arty" substitute for track lighting -- very beautiful and sophisticated. But I have two reservations for this use. First, from the way it's installed, it seems to be intended as under-cabinet lighting rather than overhead. It's plug-in, rather than direct-wire, and there's a switch. We were able to rig it up by putting a plug (and its transformer) into a hollow faux beam. But everyone might not have that option. Second, the lights are truly TINY -- they're not kidding when they say 1" diameter! I thought they might be a little bit bigger -- but no. Finally, if you haven't used LED lights before, they do create sort of an unearthly blue glow. I like it -- I also have them in an undercabinet space, and it creates a nifty effect. But don't expect them to provide "normal" incandescent light. It is true that they hardly use any energy and throw off no heat -- which is great in my climate. Overall, a fabulous product.
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
