H System Track Adapter with Hook H870-BK (Black)

This is our second one. It is a great way to change a hardwired ceiling mount pendant into one that can be powered by a track lightning system.

Requires tiny spade terminals in the overly small body to wire this up. Took quite a bit of time to do. If it was an inch longer or a little wider then the extra room would have made the job much easier. Also, beefier lug terminals would have been preferred as this is 120v power (for my swag light). I use LED bulbs as they are very low power consumption compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, and have had no problems. Still would feel more comfortable with something beefier.

This adapter has a very compact low profile design compared to other options available. I thought that would be big plus as far as looks, however I found it extremely difficult to get all the wires inside even after purchasing small female connectors (not included) to fit on the tiny tabs. After a bunch of effort squeezing all the wires in the small space, I placed it in the track and twisted 90 degrees. Flipped the switch to test the light .... and nothing ! Pulled it out of the track and to my dismay one of the tabs was bent and mangled. Gave up and returned it. Bought a larger adapter with ample room for the connections and had it installed in minutes without any issues.

Took a little time to disassemble and put together but well worth it.

Preciselly what I was looking for and easily adaptable tomy needs.

It is what it is supposed to be BUT, I wouldn't count these holding much weight. After wiring up, the replacement of the screws reveals the cheap quality of the plastic housing. Screws strip easily and there are only 2. Not much holding the hook in place. Price = Quality.

This product comes with instructions for 3 or 4 items that don't match the item. The connections inside require slide on connectors which are not supplied, or solder joints. I had the tiny spade connectors, but the item is so fragile that the contacts with the track were distorted. It is made for H track, but I could not get it to go in correctly, even on a short piece of scrap track. Save yourself the trouble and don't buy this one.

Excellent product!!!
