howstuffworks.com will no longer let you submit questions, so I'm asking you guys.



How is it that, when I touch both tracks (top and bottom, in my case) I don't get a shock? They are separated by some sort of plastic strip.



addition question, for bonus points:

How can a dog pull on a leash, and not choke? If I wrapped something around my neck, and pulled it backwards, I wouldn't be able to breathe.

I have a question for you? Are you intentionally trying to get shocked?

no, when I was installing them, I turned them on to test them out, then adjusted the light positions, grabbing the track without thinking, and it didn't do anything.



This track is just like mine:

Two possibilities:



1) The unit has a transformer in it, and the lights actually run on low (i.e. around 12) voltage.



2) The tracks provide something for the fixtures to slide in, but the actual electrical contacts are concealed within them.



I'm guessing the answer is "1"

Pull one of the bulbs and see what the rated voltage is.
