My bedroom has no electrical system in the ceiling, I am looking for a track light this doesn't need electrical work involve. Will this light work?

No, you must have 110/120 volt power going to it. We replaced old light with this one so we just used the same power connections.

You need some wiring to connect this light to. I'm surprised a bedroom has no wiring in the ceiling.

You must have power (prewired) for this unit. Is not a "plug-in" operation. If you don't have electrical in the ceiling, this will not work.

No. It must be wired into an existing outlet box (it has only connections, no wire and definitely no plug nor switch).

Look for a model (the light will be similar to this one) with the motion sensor and base attached. This light could be adapted to your situation but you would be throwing money away buying all the other parts.

Yes... as long as there is no transformer involved... If your lights have a transformer this will NOT work.

I used a standard motion/light detector with two of these and it works fine. Not sure that only 1 10W light will work as there is a minimum turn on requirements. You need to look at the minimum load turn on specification. The alternative is to buy this light, but already has the light/motion sensor built in. They are just a few dollars more. These do not create bright white light, like for reading. Also make sure the wire length is long enough for your application. I got fooled and some wires were only 6" long on some lights I bought.

You would need to convert the fixture into an outlet so you could plug in the motor and hang the ball from that. It has screw holes to attach to a ceiling. Then you would need a light from a few feet away to light the ball.

I think if you put the light away from bed pointing at it it will work well. The light is adjustable and can be very bright. Hope this helps.

yes, in fact you need a separate hot wire for the night light to work. I installed it and did not have the additional hot wire, so my night light does not work.

I am not sure if they replace the IKEA bulbs for their tracking light; however, I do have IKEA lighting not the tracking and they did fix but they only worked for about 3 hours before they stopped working. I returned immediately.

I have 2 track lights in my room and these work quite well. They are a little spotty and one won't light the entire room but with 3 you have plenty of flexibility.

Probably not unless your track lighting system takes standard screw in lights like you would find in a desk lamp. These work great but they fit a standard screw in receptacle.

if it works, it will be fine. light is not strong however because it is a cfl, not hot either.

Usually these are mounted on the ceiling and wired to a wall switch. They run on 120V AC power. If you do now have a wire to where these are to be placed you may need to contact an electrician. The one I ordered was a replacement for an older track light so the wire was already in the ceiling.

It has to be pretty dim for it to come on. I think it would not work unless you left the room light off.

I bought this for my son for Christmas and he hasn't gotten it hooked up yet. He said you could probably find the answer on the internet. Also, if you know someone who can do electric work they could probably help you. When I hooked up some ceiling lights last year I had a similar question and a friend gave me the answer. Good luck.

My track light is made by portfolio , It doesnt step down to low voltage like some track lights , so im dimming a normal 110v fixture , so i dont need anything special , these lights are ready to dim. Hope that helps

As long as you have the correct electrical box to mount it to, placing the light on the ceiling should be fine. But, be aware the the photo sensor is very sensitive. So it's important to face the sensor where it will recognize daylight and shut the light off!

My son is a licensed electrician and he states it is designed to wire into an electrical box in the ceiling. It does not have a long enough wire to plug into the wall. It would require rewiring the entire light, but - of course - it would void the manufacturers warranty.
