Installing IKEA’s Track Lights Is as Simple as Changing a Light Bulb



IKEA offers a vast selection of furniture and appliances that can enhance your living space, making it a favorite among professional interior designers. A notable example of IKEA decor that can instantly bring sophistication to your home is the BAROMETER ceiling track light. This lighting fixture, featuring five bulbs and a brushed brass finish, is designed to complement any aesthetic seamlessly. Despite its elegant appearance, installing the BAROMETER lights is remarkably simple as the fixture arrives pre-assembled. Simply loosen a few screws and plug it in.

To install IKEA’s BAROMETER track lights, start by turning off the power and removing the existing fixture. Next, take off the fixture base cover to access the wires. Once everything is connected, align the side indentations of the BAROMETER lights with the screws on the fixture base to attach the set. Finally, screw in the lightbulbs, which are sold separately, and your installation is complete! If lengthy light sets aren’t your preference, consider exploring other stylish IKEA light fixtures.



Placement Ideas for the BAROMETER

Thanks to their easy installation, BAROMETER lights can be mounted almost anywhere, though strategic placement is key. Ideally, there should be at least a foot and a half of space between the lights and the wall to ensure optimal illumination. When deciding on the placement of track lights, they are most effective when installed in the center of a room or directly above a focal point like a bed or dining table. For multiple tracks, a level and tape measure are essential tools to maintain evenness.

Remember, like other track lighting models, BAROMETER lights offer great versatility. They can be installed on walls as well as ceilings, and positioned at various angles to illuminate all parts of your home. Each light’s direction can be adjusted to eliminate dark areas. While finding a suitable location for BAROMETER lights is straightforward, it’s important to avoid common lighting mistakes, especially if you have high ceilings.
