Looking for a versatile and modern lighting system? Consider the magnetic track lighting system, which allows you to create unique and stylish lighting designs on walls and ceilings. In this article, we'll introduce this system, offer guidance on purchasing the right lights, and cover common track lights. Discover the benefits and features of this innovative lighting system, whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a professional designer.

What Is Magnetic Track Lighting and How Does It Function?

The magnetic track light is a type of lighting fixture that attaches to the track using magnets located on the fixture. The track is made up of an aluminum shell, copper conductor, and iron sheet. When a luminaire with a magnet is brought close to the iron sheet in the track, it is adsorbed onto the track without the need for any tools. The luminaire also makes contact with the copper conductor, allowing it to be powered by an AC110-220V to DC48V transformer for the entire track lighting system.

Various forms of magnetic attraction lamps can be installed on the magnetic linear track. These lamps not only move freely along the track like standard LED track lights, but they can also be disassembled and installed as desired. By using different parts, the magnetic tracks can be connected to one another to form L shapes, squares, Us, and more.

What are the applications of magnetic led lights?

LED magnetic lights are a versatile and customizable lighting solution for a variety of indoor settings. For example, in a kitchen, magnetic lights can be installed above the counter or sink to provide bright, focused task lighting. In a dining room or living room, they can be used to create a cozy ambiance or highlight specific features of the room. In bedrooms, magnetic lights can be used as bedside lamps or to illuminate closets and wardrobes.

In addition to their use in homes, LED magnetic lights are also suitable for office lighting. They can be used to provide task lighting for individual workstations or as general ambient lighting for larger spaces. When paired with LED panel lights, the magnetic lighting system can create a cohesive and energy-efficient lighting solution.

LED magnetic track lights can also be utilized in commercial settings such as supermarkets, retail stores, and restaurants. They can be used to highlight merchandise, create mood lighting, or add visual interest to a space.

What parts make up the system of magnetic track lighting?

Similar to traditional track lighting systems, the magnetic lighting system is made up of three main components: magnetic rails, magnetic lighting fixtures, and accessories. It's important to pay attention to the specific features of each part. In the following sections, we'll provide a detailed overview of each component and its key considerations.

Magnetic track rails

Magnetic track rails come in two main sizes: 20mm width (M20) and 35mm width (M35), with the width of the track determining the size of the corresponding magnetic lamp track head. Additionally, there is a newer slim type track available that is only 15mm wide. There are also different installation methods available, including recessed, suspended, and surface-mounted magnetic tracks.

Magnetic Led Track light luminaires

There are several types of magnetic lamps available on the market, including grille spotlights, fold spotlights, linear profile lights, track spotlights, and pendant lights. These modular luminaires can be easily added, removed, or moved on the magnetic track.

Magnetic grille spotlights	100mm,200mm, 300mm, 400mm	6W, 12W, 18W, 24W, 30W	24°	Accent lighting
Magnetic fold spotlights	110mm, 220mm	6W, 12W	24°	Accent lighting
Magnetic linear profile lights	300mm, 600mm, 900mm	10W, 20W, 30W	120°	General lighting
Magnetic track spotlight	D50mm, D60mm	10W, 15W, 20W	24°	Accent lighting
Magnetic pendant lights	D30mm*H300mm	5W	24°	Accent lighting

Accessories

The magnetic track lighting system comes with a variety of accessories, such as a power input cable, built-in driver or external power supplies, L shape connector, and adapters for horizontal and vertical connections.

How Do You Choose Magnetic Track Lighting?

With so many parts to consider, it can be overwhelming to choose the right magnetic track lighting system for your needs. Here are some factors to consider before making a purchase:

Size and Type of Magnetic Rails:

Determine the appropriate width and type of magnetic track that you need based on the fixtures you plan to install and the installation method you prefer.

The magnetic track lighting system comes in four different design shapes, each suitable for different spaces and applications.

Design Shape	Suitable for
Square Shape	Living rooms, offices
U Shape	Living rooms
L Shape	Corridors, living rooms, cloakrooms
I Shape	Living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens

There are 3 different types of magnetic tracks available: recessed, trimless, and surface/pendant.

• The recessed magnetic track is suitable for newly constructed houses without suspended ceilings, where grooves need to be made and the tracks embedded before being pressed with the ceiling.

• The trimless magnetic track is ideal for rooms with pre-existing ceilings, as it can be directly fixed onto the ceiling plasterboard.

• The surface/pendant magnetic track is mainly used in areas where it's not feasible to create plasterboard, such as supermarkets and offices.

Light Fixture Compatibility: 

Make sure the magnetic fixtures you choose are compatible with the track system you have or plan to purchase.

Wattage and Beam Angle: 

Consider the wattage and beam angle of the magnetic fixtures based on the intended application and lighting needs of the space.
