The magnetic track lighting system is an innovative solution for contemporary spaces, allowing for vertical and horizontal designs on walls and ceilings so your creative DIY lighting ideas can come to life. At the same time, its quick installation method and minimal decorative effect make it the first choice for home and office lighting. Today, we are mainly introducing this system. You will know clearly how to buy and why the magnetic track light price varies significantly among different manufacturers. You can read here if you would only like to know about traditional rail lighting systems.
What is Magnetic Track Lighting, and how does it work?
The magnetic track light is a light fixture installed on the track by a magnet on the light fixture. The track is composed of an aluminum shell, copper conductor, and iron sheet. When the luminaire with magnet is close to the iron sheet in the track, the luminaire will be adsorbed on the trail without any tools, and at the same time, the luminaire is in contact with the copper conductor, then powered by an AC110-220V to DC48V transformer for the whole track lighting system.
On the magnetic linear track, different forms of magnetic attraction lamps can be installed. Not only can they move freely on the track like traditional LED track lights, but they can also be removed and installed at will. Through different parts, the magnetic tracks can be connected to form an L shape, square shape, U shape, etc.
Magnetic track light system size
There are some different sizes for magnetic track lights, which are decided by the width of magnetic track channels, mainly including 15mm width, 20mm width, and 35mm width. Choose the width of the track according to the installation height. The 20mm type is the most popular in the markets for residential lighting such as living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms, or commercial lighting for shopping, office lights, etc. Moreover, magnetic track light rail lengths came in 1m, 2m, and 3m.
What are the components of the magnetic rail lighting system?
The entire magnetic lighting system, like traditional track lighting, consists of 3 parts – magnetic rails, magnetic lighting fixtures, and accessories. Each part has something to pay special attention to. Let’s go over the main points of each part in detail.
Magnetic Track
Magnetic track lights are available in a variety of sizes, determined by the width of the magnetic track slot, and are primarily offered in 5mm, 10mm, and 20mm widths. Select the track width according to the installation height. The 20mm track width is the most popular in the market, and our new products are primarily used for residential lighting, including lobbies, bedrooms, and restaurants, as well as for commercial lighting, such as in shopping malls and offices. In addition, the track lengths of magnetic track lights are 1m, 2m, and 3m.
From the installation way, the magnetic rails include a recessed magnetic track, Gray Magnetic Track, and surface-mounted magnetic rails.
