Hi Rob --

Thanks!

Track lights might be best mounted on the south wall over the table 
that has the oscilloscope; folks use that table for 3D printing, 
electronics, etc., where bright lighting is good to have.

I'd suggest that if you don't mount it right away, you put a label on 
the parts so that folks know they are part of the lighting project.

Cheers!
