How to Install Anoli Spot Track on a Sloped Ceiling

Quick answer

Mount the track parallel to the slope, then adjust each spotlight arm to aim light where needed. Use the included mounting brackets and ensure the track is level despite the angle.

Step-by-step installation on a sloped ceiling

1. 1. Plan the track layout: Measure the sloped ceiling length and mark the track position. The track should run parallel to the slope (not across it) to keep the spotlights aligned. Mark bracket positions every 24 inches along the track. Common mistake: placing brackets too far apart—always follow the manufacturer's spacing guide.
2. 2. Mount the brackets level: Use a level on each bracket, not on the ceiling. Attach brackets to ceiling joists with the supplied screws. For drywall without joists, use toggle bolts rated for the track weight. Checkpoint: If the bracket is not level, the track will sag or twist. Shim with a washer if needed.
3. 3. Connect the wiring: Run the track's power feed to the junction box. Connect the black (hot), white (neutral), and green/bare (ground) wires using wire nuts. Secure the connection inside the ceiling cup. Common mistake: forgetting to strip enough wire—leave 1/2 inch of exposed copper for a solid connection.
4. 4. Attach the track: Snap the track into the mounted brackets. Ensure the track's electrical contacts align with the power feed. Slide the track until it clicks into place. Checkpoint: Gently tug the track to confirm it is locked—loose tracks can cause flickering.
5. 5. Install and adjust the spotlights: Insert each Anoli spotlight into the track by aligning the slots and twisting 90 degrees. Adjust the arm angle and swivel the head to aim light where needed. Tighten the locking screw if present. Common mistake: overtightening the arm—this can strip the threads. Stop when snug.
6. 6. Test and fine-tune: Restore power and test each spotlight. Adjust the arm and head angles to eliminate glare on sloped surfaces. Use the dimmer (if compatible) to set the mood. Checkpoint: If a spotlight flickers, remove it and re-seat it in the track—dirty contacts are a common cause.
