Installation methods and how magnetic track lights work
A magnetic track lighting system consists of four basic components: the track, the transformer, and the luminaire.
It is a lighting method that, as its name suggests, works primarily by installing light bulbs (with an aluminum track) using the automatic magnetic attraction force.
There are various methods for installing the magnetic track and fixing the track to the ceiling, including surface mounting on the ceiling, recessed (hidden), or suspended…
Both are easy and smooth to install, but surface and suspended track lights do not require foundation…
Unlike the magnetic track hidden in plaster or recessed, it requires installation and is suitable during the finishing stage.
The engineer plans the desired track light shape, and can determine whether it is a straight line or whether it has angles and curves passing through ceilings, walls, and corners, using a variety of flexible accessories.
All this without any tools and without the need for assistance, and with fast implementation too!
How far is the magnetic path from the wall?
You can determine the distance of the track from the wall when turning on the lighting unit and directing it at the wall. It is preferable to keep it 40 to 60 cm away so that the lighting intensity is not too intense or disturbing to the eyes.
At the same time, the lighting power must be well and evenly distributed, so also choose lamps with the required lumens and appropriate lighting angle.
Don't forget that you must take into account the room's design, ceiling height, and many other things to maintain the quality of lighting.
