Can I attach new pendant light to my exisitng track lighting fixture?
I have a vaulted ceiling in my kitchen and it is hard to reach the bulbs to change, so I want to put pendant light on the existing track so I can reach a little easier, and give it a new look

There are two parts to this question. First off, like the previous responder said, you can take one of the existing track connectors to the lighting showroom or hardware store and they can sell you an adaptor to power the new pendant with.
The second part of the question is that the existing track will likely not be able to support the weight of a large pendant. These tracks are basically built to support the weight of a lightbulb and a cover, and not much more. A pendant is much heavier and would need to be hung directly to the ceiling or electrical box, independently from the track.
Good luck.
They do make adapters to plug in or wire into a track. Visit a lighting showroom to make sure you get the correct part you need. While there check with them about long life bulbs for your track lights.
