I had an existing track light that this lined up with perfectly to replace!! I only used 4 of the brackets to give it a more streamlined look. I felt it was too busy with all of them supplied (6). Took abt 1 1/2 hours to put up. Easy directions but we did switch out for a toggle bolt to hold the track. Made it more secure. It is very bright, so I am going to add a dimmer switch. Overall happy with it. There is a lot of plastic but up on the actual ceiling u wouldn’t even know. The track comes wrapped in a circle. It is pretty pliable. We used a pot to give us an object to bend around.
