What is a magnetic phase track
A magnetic phase track is an advanced and new track system that uses magnetic strips to power the fixtures.
This new system offers a number of advantages over 1- and 3-phase track systems. A magnetic track system is of high quality and is often used in more luxurious homes, commercial spaces, luxury hotels, and restaurants. The magnetic phase track is very popular due to its ease of use; you simply click the fixtures into the track and can slide them to the desired position.
Magnetic track light has a voltage of 48 volts and offers unprecedented flexibility thanks to the unique design of the magnetic phase rails. You can mount magnetic tracks not only on the ceiling but also safely on the wall, as it operates on a low voltage of 48 volts.These rails use magnetic forces to attach and position lighting elements at any desired location along the track. This means you can easily slide, rotate, or add lighting, giving you the flexibility to customize your lighting to changing needs and interior designs.
Why choose magnetic rails
- Unique design: The magnetic voltage rail has a very unique design that allows the lighting to be fully integrated into the rails. The corner pieces make it easy to create 90-degree angles or to extend from wall to ceiling. The wide choice of lighting completes the picture.
- Installation options: The magnetic voltage rail can be surface-mounted or recessed.
- 48V low voltage: The magnetic voltage rail has a low voltage of 48V, making it safe for people and animals when the rails are integrated into a wall. However, a converter is required when connecting the rail system.
- flicker-free light: Due to the low voltage, the rail lighting is easily dimmable, resulting in light that does not flicker. This is beneficial for your mental well-being, as flickering light can cause headaches and fatigue.
- Sleek finish: Thanks to the depth of the rails, all fixtures fit perfectly into the rails. This ensures a sleek finish and a luxurious appearance.
- Easily add extra lighting: It is simple to insert additional fixtures anywhere along the rails.
Assembling a magnetic rail system
When you have decided to purchase a magnetic phase track, there are a few things to consider. You can assemble a magnetic phase track completely to your liking. First, you need to know how you want the rails to run. For example, do you want the phase track to run in a corner, or do you want to install it in an E-shape? You can create almost any shape with it. You start with the rail, then decide whether it needs to be dimmable or not, where it should be connected, and whether any corners need to be included.
Once you have determined the distance and the layout of your magnetic phase track, you can purchase the rail lighting. You can place as many track lights in the rails as the wattage of the driver can handle.Would you also like to dim the rails? Then you will need to order a driver and a dimmer.
Requirements for the magnetic rail system:
- The magnetic rails (surface-mounted or recessed, length according to your preference)
 |
 |
 |
| Surface-mounted magnetic rails | Recessed magnetic rails | Dimmable magnetic rails |
- Power connector (Dimmable or non-dimmable) For the dimmable power connector, please see the recommended combination.
 |
 |
| Integrated non-dimmable power supply | Separate dimmable power supply |
- Connectors (I-shape, L-shape). Depending on your needs. (suitable for both non-dimmable and dimmable tracks)
 |
| Magnetic track connectors |
- Optional: Cable set, for suspending the tracks from the ceiling.

| Cable set magnetic rail |
- Light sources (dimmable or non-dimmable)
| 
|
| Magnetic track lights non-dimmable | Magnetic track lights dimmable |
Installation (dimmable/non-dimmable)
Below you will find a diagram of how the rails should be connected. The placement of the power supply does not matter, but it should be taken into account that the power cable needs to be concealed.The power cable can also be concealed through the back of the track by drilling a hole through the track.
You can power the magnetic tracks in two ways. By means of an integrated power supply( diagram 1) which you connect directly to the mains. Or with a separate power connector that you connect to a separate 48V LED driver (diagram 2 ). You can connect a 0-10V dimmer to a separate power connector. (diagram 3) This isNOT possible with an integrated power supply! You canNOT dim the tracks with this.
