Fixtures for Track Lights Homer L. Hazel 04-07-09

Greetings,

I have some track lighting in my office that is controlled by one x-10 wall
switch.

I want to find some light fixtures for track lighting that are X-10
controlled
(or other remote) that can be turned on and off independently. Sometimes I
only want one of the several lights on, and that just does not work right
now.

Has anyone heard of such a thing?

Thank you.

Short of putting a Socket Rocket in each bulb, no.

I don't know if an X-10 solution exists.
There are lighting tracks with multiple circuits. Would you be willing to
replace your tracks?

I have seen tracks with two circuits. The direction of the base when it is
latched onto the track determines which circuit it will be on.

I believe that there are tracks with four circuits.

Interesting challenge. Good luck!
