It uses the rail line + combination + modeling direction, can match their own line style, to create a beautiful, atmospheric, flexible multi-level lighting environment.
What is magnetic track light？
Magnetic track light is a kind of modern linear lighting fixtures, which combines the advantages of traditional track lights, using magnetic technology to attract the lamp components on the track, the light components within the conductive sheet and the conductive strip within the track body is elastic contact, so as to provide power for the lamp components, can be lit. Magnetic track lighting usually adopts low voltage design, such as DC48V or DC24V, which makes the installation and maintenance safer, more convenient and flexible.
Composition of magnetic track light
As a kind of lighting system which can be combined freely according to the demand, it mainly consists of three parts: track, magnetic lights and power supply (also called driver). The power of the power supply can be determined according to the number of light sources. Generally, the total power of the lights can not exceed 80% of the power supply.
Types of magnetic track
Magnetic track can be free to choose the track type and length, generally there are recessed magnetic track, surface mounted magnetic track, suspended magnetic track these 3 types. Recessed in the shape is the most minimalist, the overall line is more delicate, but the installation is more difficult, you need to complete the preliminary pre-embedded on the ceiling; surface mounted and suspended track do not need pre-embedded, and can be achieved without the ceiling.
Types of magnetic track lights
A track can be arbitrarily combined with a variety of different shapes of lights to achieve functional and visual effects.
