How a track works
A busbar track is an aluminium profile with copper conductors. A luminaire is fitted through an adapter at any point on the track and can then be moved, turned or removed without tools or an electrician. Tracks are joined into any shape with connectors — straight, L, T and X — and power is fed through a live end at one end.
Single-phase, three-phase and magnetic systems differ in their contacts and voltage and are not compatible with one another. The system is chosen once, at the start.
Single-phase 220 V system
The most common and affordable option. The track is fed at 220 V, with a driver in each luminaire. Surface mounting on the ceiling or on suspensions takes an hour and needs no embedded parts.
- Pros: 2–3 times cheaper than magnetic; the widest choice — spotlights, linear luminaires, pendants, GU10 models; connects to the ceiling outlet for a chandelier; the track carries up to 16 A.
- Cons: the 35 mm profile is noticeable; all luminaires switch on together (separate groups only on a three-phase track); each luminaire has its own dimming.
Suits flats with an ordinary ceiling, shops, studios and cafés.
Magnetic 48 V system
A driver converts 220 V into 48 V DC and is hidden above the ceiling; the luminaires are held by magnets. The 20–35 mm profile is set flush into plasterboard, installed in a stretch ceiling with a mounting insert, or fixed on the surface and on suspension cables.
- Pros: a slim line flush with the ceiling; luminaires come off by hand; a safe voltage; most models are dimmable, some change colour temperature and are controlled from an app; there are spotlights, linear luminaires, pendants, “grilles”, wall-washers.
- Cons: more expensive; the driver has to be sized precisely and left accessible; recessed installation is planned before the finishing work; compatibility between brands is not guaranteed.
Suits a new renovation with a plasterboard or stretch ceiling, where light is part of the design.
Side-by-side comparison
| Single-phase 220 V | Magnetic 48 V | |
|---|---|---|
| Budget for a 20 m² room | lower | 2–3 times higher |
| Installation | surface-mounted, at any time | recessed or surface-mounted, preferably before finishing |
| Profile | 35 mm, noticeable | 20–35 mm, flush with the ceiling |
| Dimming | individual dimmable luminaires | usually built in, from a remote control or an app |
| Driver | in each luminaire | one external driver for the whole system |
| Replacing a luminaire | turn the adapter | remove by hand |
How many luminaires you need
General lighting: living room — 150–200 lm/m², kitchen — 200–250, bedroom — 100–150 lm/m². A 20 m² living room needs 3 000–4 000 lm. A 10 W spotlight gives 700–900 lm, a 20 W one 1 500–1 800 lm: 4–5 spotlights of 10 W or 3 of 20 W are enough, plus accent lights.
The beam angle sets the role of a spotlight: 15–24° — an accent on a picture, a shelf, a plant; 36° — a work area, a table; 60° and wider — a general wash of light. 2–3 wide spotlights for the background and 2–3 narrow ones for accents are more interesting than five identical ones. Linear modules of 30–60 cm give even light over a table or a kitchen island.
Where to run the track
For walls and pictures the track runs parallel to the wall at 0.6–1 m from it, with the spotlights tilted at 30°: the light “washes” the wall without glare. General lighting in a rectangular room comes from a U-shaped or rectangular layout 0.8–1.2 m from the walls. The simplest option is a straight track along the room with adjustable spotlights: both background and accents.
The luminaire spacing is 0.8–1.2 m with a 2.7 m ceiling. Less than 0.5 m gives a jumble of light, more than 1.5 m leaves dark gaps. Leave 20–30 % of the track length free in case the furniture is rearranged.
Example: a 5 × 4 m living room
- Flux: 20 m² × 175 lm/m² = 3 500 lm.
- Track: U-shaped, 3.4 + 2.4 + 3.4 = 9.2 m, 0.8 m from the walls, fed from the chandelier outlet through a flexible connector.
- Luminaires: 4 spotlights of 12 W, 60° (≈4 × 1 000 lm) — general light; 2 spotlights of 10 W, 24° — a picture and a shelving unit; a 30 W linear module over the dining table.
- Driver for a magnetic system: 4 × 12 + 2 × 10 + 30 = 98 W, with a 25 % margin — 123 W, so 150 W, in an accessible niche above a cabinet.
- Control: a dimmer with a remote control or a Wi-Fi module with “evening” and “cleaning” scenes.
Check before you order
- The mounting insert for a magnetic track is installed before the stretch ceiling membrane is fitted — agree the profile with the ceiling installers.
- The driver of a magnetic system goes behind an access hatch or in a niche, otherwise a fault means taking the ceiling apart.
- End caps, connectors, suspensions — from the same system and brand as the track.
- GU10 spotlights on a single-phase track change colour temperature when you swap the lamps.
