Some crappy Chinese track lighting, with high-frequency switching
down-converters built into each fixture. I don't have the boxes any more,
but the fixtures themselves say WAC on them, whoever that is. Works fine,
though.

However, you won't get 5000K unless you can step the voltage up a little. I
just happened to have an old variable transformer lying around, so I used
it.
