Lighting systems

Track, magnetic, modular and outdoor IP65 systems: a rail or a base carrying the power, and luminaires you can move or replace at any time. Only one rule: rails and luminaires of different systems do not fit each other.

Frequently asked questions

What is a track lighting system?

A track system is a rail fixed to the ceiling or the wall that carries the power, and luminaires that clip anywhere along it. A luminaire can be moved, added or replaced without rewiring, so one line lights several zones.

How does a magnetic 48 V system differ from a 230 V track?

A magnetic system runs on 48 V DC and therefore needs a driver; its luminaires are held by magnets and slide by hand, without tools. A 230 V track connects straight to mains without a separate driver, and the luminaire locks into the rail with an adapter.

What is the difference between 1-phase and 3-phase track?

A 1-phase rail has one circuit — every luminaire on it switches together. A 3-phase rail has three independent circuits, so luminaires on the same rail can be split into three separately switched groups; that requires the matching wiring at the board.

Are rails and luminaires of different systems interchangeable?

No. Each system has its own rail profile and contacts, so a luminaire from another system will not physically fit. Parts are always picked within one system — in our catalogue each system's parts sit on their own page.

What does a set need besides the rail and the luminaires?

A feed, joints where the rail turns or branches, and end caps at its ends. Magnetic and other low-voltage ranges also need a driver, and pendant mounting needs a suspension kit.

How many luminaires does one driver carry?

As many as fit its rating: add up the luminaire wattages and leave headroom. The configurator works to 80 % load — a 200 W driver is offered up to 160 W of luminaires, and past that it suggests a bigger driver or a second one.

How do I work out how much rail and how many joints I need?

Lay the shape out segment by segment in the configurator, giving each a length and a direction. The rails follow from that (they come in fixed lengths, so a longer segment is made of several), joints are added at the corners and branches, and end caps at the ends.

Can a track system be mounted outdoors?

Only systems built for it — IP65 rated — belong outdoors; they sit in the “Outdoor systems IP65” section. Indoor rails and luminaires are not protected against moisture and are not mounted outside.

Not sure how much track or which power supply you need?

From your length and shape the configurator works out the tracks, connectors and end caps, and picks a power supply of the right rating.
