Your cart is empty.Silo X20 series track and rail heads are the perfect replacements for halogen MR16's as they offer lower wattage with superior lumen output, over 10 times the rated life span, less maintenance, no projected heat, and BeamShift technology. All Silo X20 series track luminaires are equipped with BeamShift technology, allowing continuous in-field modification of beam angle from spot to flood. For use with 120V track. Track Fixture is available in H, J/J2, and L track configurations. Order according to track layout specifications.

Silo X20 runs very hot for LED lights -- too hot to hold after a while, but less hot than incandescent. Inefficient, but maybe that's normal for line voltage LEDs (my LED experience to date has been with low voltage systems). The focusing beam is a nice feature. There are distracting diffraction rings around the hot spot for the narrowest 1/3 of the focusing range. On some surfaces (e.g. rough, irregular rock wall) these may not be too distracting, but on a flat wall they show. These diffraction rings smooth out nicely at wider apertures. I tried all four types of front lens attachments: Without a lens attachment, the hot spot is fairly distinct (across the focus range, but especially so with a narrower lens focus). There is light surrounding the hot spot, of course, but the falloff is fairly abrupt. The frosted lens attachment does a great job of smoothing this out. It doesn't much change the hot spot, but it does make the spot look less noticeable by smoothing out the falloff. It also makes the aforementioned narrow 1/3 of the focus beam usable by smoothing out the diffraction rings and broadening the falloff around the hot spot. The elongating lens seems to trade about 1/3 of beam height (or, whichever direction you rotate the lens) for about 1/3 of beam width and also smooths out focus beam irregularities. The falloff around the hot spot is sharper on the short axis and has a slower fade along the elongated axis. The hex honeycomb throws a distracting diffraction pattern of many small slivers around the perimeter and seems to lower total light output about 10%. It does improve off axis glare for anyone facing into the light by about 10 degrees (i.e. head-on glare viewed from ~30 degrees off center with the honeycomb looks like the glare as seen from ~40 degrees without the honeycomb). Right at the margin, it's a visible improvement if you need it, but the benefit is highly situational. The honeycomb simply isn't deep enough to greatly improve off-axis glare, and then you're left with those diffraction slivers. The snoot attachment does give a sharper hot spot. However, light reflects off the opposite side of the inside of the snoot. This gives you a defined hot spot surrounded by a visible outer doughnut ring with a second defined outer edge around the doughnut (proportionally, think of a standard profile car tire, with the hot spot being the hole and the doughnut effect being the rubber, with sharp light falloffs both inside and out). Also situationally useful, I suppose.

I love that these have an integrated focusing system which makes them perfect for highlighting artwork without blinding people that happen to be sitting near it. The only problem is that even on a non-dimmed circuit they have a quiet buzz. Even when put on the correct kind of dimmer they buzz. I have eight other LED heads on the same track made by a different company and they don't make a sound. If it weren't that this was the only dimmable and zoomable fixture on the market I would return them.

This is a solid, well-made light. While it is only 20 watt, it seems brighter. The beamshift focus is good.We are using 4 of these to light a kitchen island in a loft. They are mounted 14 ft above the island and still able to light very well. Also, the CRI rating is 90 but it seems more vibrant that other lights I have that have a CRI 93 rating, even at 14 ft away. I was hesitant because of the price. But these are well worth it, and we have ordered more for other uses in our place.

This is a great, high quality system. No transformers to worry about and the light is clean, pure and easily adjustable. I just bought more of them!
