The magnetic track lighting system

The magnetic track lighting system is an innovative solution for contemporary spaces, allowing for vertical and horizontal designs on walls and ceilings, perfect for your creative DIY lighting ideas. Its quick installation method and minimal decorative effect make it an ideal choice for home and office lighting. In this guide, we will provide detailed information about the system and its benefits

Understanding Magnetic Track Lighting: Functionality and Benefits

The magnetic track light fixture attaches to the track using magnets on an aluminum shell with copper conductors and an iron sheet. When the fixture with magnets nears the iron sheet, it attaches securely without tools, connecting to the copper conductor. Powered by an AC110-220V to DC48V transformer, the system powers the entire lighting setup. Various magnetic lamps can move freely along the track like traditional LED lights, easily adjustable and removable. The modular design of the track allows for different configurations, forming shapes such as L, square, and U shapes as needed.

Magnetic Track Light System Dimensions

Magnetic track lights are available in 15mm, 20mm, and 35mm widths, with the 20mm width being popular for both residential (living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms) and commercial (shopping areas, offices) lighting. Track rail lengths include 1m, 2m, and 3m options.

Components of a Magnetic Rail Lighting System

The magnetic rail lighting system, similar to traditional track lighting, comprises three essential components: magnetic rails, magnetic lighting fixtures, and accessories. Each component requires careful consideration. Let’s delve into the specifics of each part.

Types of Magnetic Track Lights

Here are the key types of magnetic profile lights available in the market: grille spotlights, linear floodlights, adjustable folding spotlights, track spotlights, and pendant lights.

Accessories

Accessories for the magnetic track lighting system include power input cables, built-in drivers or external power supplies, L-shaped connectors, and adapters (horizontal and vertical). For more details on these accessories

How To Choose Magnetic Track Lighting?

With various components involved in a magnetic track lighting system, selecting the right parts might seem daunting. Here’s a helpful buying guide to assist you:

Step 1: Confirm what design pattern for the whole system you prefer.

There are about 4 design shapes for the whole lighting system- L shape, I Shape, parallel lines Shape, and Square shape.

Square shape. It is suitable for living rooms, and offices.

U Shape: Mainly used for living room.

L Shape: Good for use in corridors, living rooms, and cloakrooms.

I Shape: For the living room, dining room, and kitchen room.

Step 2. Choosing a suitable magnetic track rail.

As described above, there are four types of magnetic tracks:

1. Recessed Magnetic Track: Ideal for new homes planning suspended ceilings but haven’t installed them yet. Requires grooves to be made and tracks pre-embedded, then pressed into the ceiling.
2. Trimless Magnetic Rail: Used in rooms where ceilings are already in place, fixing directly onto ceiling plasterboard.
3. Surface/Pendant Magnetic Track: Mainly used in spaces without false ceilings or where plasterboard installation isn’t feasible, such as supermarkets, offices, etc.

• Note: If you choose to use the embedded track light system, you need to reserve 5-7cm of space when the ceiling is suspended. We can provide the 4-in-1 magnetic track ( integrated with the surface, recessed, trimless, pendant installation)

Step 3. Choosing magnetic LED lights.

2. External Driver: Primarily used for recessed installations. External drivers typically offer higher quality compared to built-in drivers. Meanwell power supplies are available in 100W, 200W, and 350W options. External power supplies are suitable for placement near air conditioner outlets or exclusive maintenance ports, ensuring convenient future maintenance, repair, or replacement.

What are the benefits of having these in your home?
