@Brenda Patterson Great question ! They solve slightly different problems. Pot lights are typically used for clean, even, general lighting. They sit flush in the ceiling and work well when you want consistent ambient light and a minimal look. Some pot lights also have a gimbal feature, which allows limited aiming while still keeping that recessed appearance. Placement is usually spaced evenly to avoid shadows. Track lighting is more flexible and directional. It’s useful when you want to highlight specific areas (art, counters, work zones) or when ceiling access or layout makes recessed lighting less practical. Placement follows what you want to illuminate rather than a grid. In short: pot lights = clean, consistent ambient light (with optional limited adjustability); track lighting = maximum flexibility and direction.

Hi @Kelly, thanks for your question. They are very useful to determine if power is live or not. I use them daily. The most important part is checking your tool on a known LIVE circuit to ensure it is working before checking what you are working on. Checking the condition of tools is imperative to safe working practices.
