    Replacing exiting track light with recessed lighting
    I want to replace an existing track light (3 lights) with 5 recessed lightings in my living room. Just wondering what type of cables or gauge I needed for the five lightings. I intend to just put a 35 watt halogen bulb for each receptacle.

    I also need to know the wiring diagram to install these lightings like how to join or link each recessed lighting.

    Thanks.

    How many wires are where the track lighting used to be? Are they black, white and a copper ground? Must know this to proceed.
