Qub 1-Phase Track Lighting Installation Guide

Introduction

Welcome to the Qub 1-phase track lighting system! This system is a versatile and easy way to install lighting in your home or business environment. 1-phase track lighting is ideal for individuals and businesses looking for a flexible and modern lighting solution.

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

• 1-phase track lighting: All connected fixtures operate on the same circuit. This means that all lamps on the track switch on or off simultaneously.

• 3-phase track lighting: This allows multiple lighting groups to be controlled and dimmed independently. It is commonly used in shops and showrooms.

• Magnetic track lighting: An innovative system where fixtures are attached to the track using magnets. This provides maximum flexibility, easy installation, and a sleek design without visible connections.
