How to Install Magnetic Track Lighting

Before You Start

Ensure you know whether you are installing a surface-mounted or recessed track. The surface-mounted track has a sleek finish, while the recessed track is characterised by two 'wings' on the sides.

Ordering the Right Components

Magnetic track lighting is highly versatile. Before ordering, carefully consider the final dimensions and shape you want.

For example, if you want a straight track with several spotlights, here is a checklist for a 2-metre magnetic track system.

What You Need:

• 2-metre magnetic power track
• 1x connection piece for magnetic track
• 1x LED driver 48V (max. 60W)
• 1x set of end caps (2 pieces per set)
• 48V track spotlights

You can add multiple lamps, spotlights, or pendant lights to the track. Keep in mind that you must add up the wattage of all the lamps you are using. The total wattage must not exceed the maximum capacity of the LED driver. In this example, that limit is 60W.

LED Driver Calculation Example: 3x LED spot ALP 8W = 3x8W = 24W.

The 24W in this example is well below the maximum capacity of the 60W LED driver. Exceeding the 60W limit? Then choose an LED driver with a higher capacity, such as this 48V LED driver 150W.

Connecting the Track

Once you have all the necessary components, you can begin the installation. To make it easier, start by connecting the connection piece to the 48V LED driver. The wires from the connection piece should be attached to the secondary side of the LED driver, identifiable by the red and black wires.

• Red wire as positive (+)
• Black wire as negative (-)

On the primary side of the LED driver, connect the electrical wiring coming from your wall or ceiling junction box. This is a standard 220V connection. The driver ensures that the voltage from 220V is converted to 48V.

Have you connected the connection piece to the LED driver? Then you can now slide the connection piece into the track, as shown in the image (for illustration purposes, this is a recessed track):

Place the end caps on both ends of the track (these end caps are for recessed tracks) to ensure a neat finish and prevent an open view into the track.

Mounting the Track Lighting

Once all the components are correctly connected, you can mount the track to the ceiling. Secure the track using screws and wall plugs. Then connect the primary side of the LED driver to your existing wiring.

Adding Lights to the Track

Thanks to the innovative magnetic track system, placing the spotlights is incredibly easy. Simply press the spotlight into place with its magnetic connector, and it will start working immediately. The entire length of the track contains magnetic wiring that powers the lamps.

Mix multiple lamps on one track to create an exclusive look. However, always ensure that the total wattage does not exceed the capacity of your LED driver.
