Even though we may look at a manufacturer as being high quality, they're still bound to occasionally throw a weak product out there. The couplings/wiring connectors are usually the weakest link in any track lighting set up. Most track I've come across is rated for 2400w but I've never pushed any near that far... I've seen receptacles that can be snapped into lighting track just like a fixture, leading me to believe the mfrs have quite a bit of faith in the stuff..
