    IKEA Magnesium Lights - Can you add more than 5 to a track?
    I purchased the Magnesium track and the 5 lights and they worked and installed great. Needed more light, so bought 5 more lights. Added to the track. Problems - lights are slow to light up and they are dim. Started taking down extra lights one at a time. Lights start to get brighter and light up is faster. Checked the boxes and instructions. No information about max. number of lights per track. Anyone else had this issue?

    The fixture can only handle the 5 fixtures it came with. Adding more fixtures will damage the one transformer rated to handle the 5 fixtures.

    OK. Thanks. IKEA sells the transformer and the lights separately, so it was not clear on the capacity of the transformer and the track.
