• How do I pick a recessed housing?

Start with determining whether the housing is for new construction (new work) or an existing application (old work).  First, determine if it is new construction (new work) or existing construction (old work).  If there is drywall installed then you need an old work housing.  If there is no drywall then you need a new work housing.  If there will be insulation near the housing then make sure the housing you choose is IC rated.

• How do I pick the right track lighting from WAC?

Lamps.com offers matching track and track head results when choosing track lighting.  Track heads come in three types H, J, L.  If you choose a J track head our system will automatically match the proper track to the head and vice versa.
