The Essence and Scope of Use of Track Lights

A properly planned lighting system is a guarantee of safety and comfort during its operation. In most cases, it helps to optimize the cost of paying your electricity bills. Therefore, it is recommended to pay attention to the most popular lighting proposals, in particular, wall and ceiling track LED lights for the home. They are modular devices that allow accent lighting. A feature of the devices is the possibility of combining them into groups.

Track light - what is it?

The device is usually used for the purpose of arranging lighting in an office, industrial or residential area. It allows you to create a directional stream of light and is ideal for zoning a space. The variant is actively used for advertising activities, as a track spotlight. With it, it is possible to achieve ideal lighting for cafes, clothing stores, shopping centers. The demand for systems is due to their high reliability in operation and low electricity consumption.

The luminaires on the bus are distinguished by their mobility. Due to the possibility of their movement along the track, it will be possible to create an optimal luminous flux in a specific area. Almost all existing proposals have a function of rotation in the horizontal plane by 360 degrees, in the vertical plane - by 180 degrees. Modern LED track lights consist of the following components:

Bus duct, which is a supporting part of the structure, inside which current-carrying elements are located;

• Lamp;
• Power supply;
• Fastening accessories, including all kinds of rods, tubes, hardware, corners, etc.

Note that it is allowed to simultaneously install 2 or more LED lamps on one busbar, including those differing in their technical parameters, design, and reflector. Three-phase systems allow a selected group to be switched on at the same time.

The availability of various fittings makes it possible to create a wide variety of individual track configurations. In fact, the appearance of the assembled system is limited only by the imagination of the contractor and the customer. The inclusion of a track is usually carried out from a simple switch. There are options with remote control or smartphone control.

Types of track lights

• LED (durable and economical), with a high luminosity, a bright beam - ideal for use in residential environments;
• Halogen (considered the ideal alternative to incandescent lamps in terms of service life) capable of evenly distributing the emitted light throughout the space;
• Metal halide (commonly used in industry, trade), guaranteeing optimal light output and having an impeccable design, modern appearance.

Track light selection

In most situations, users expect pleasant, comfortable lighting from such equipment. Ideally, if it turns out to be reliable and will last for a long time. Therefore, in your choice, we recommend paying special attention to the following parameters:

• Luminous flux, which characterizes the intensity of illumination;
• The power of the device, which determines its efficiency, the ability to perform the assigned tasks;
• Body material, since spots, like tires, must provide a certain flexibility, strength, corrosion resistance (it is advisable to choose proposals based on alloy steel, aluminum);
• Busbar option - single-phase, two-phase or three-phase (thanks to which it will be possible to combine lamps on the busbar into groups and control them);
• Aesthetics-defining design, making it easy to integrate the device into the chosen space;
• Color temperature that helps to find the ideal quality of light, comfort based on the individual perception of a person.
• Implementation of competent lighting of shopping centers, jewelry stores, shop windows.

The selected type of light source determines the quality of its operation and the duration of the operation of the entire device. A good solution is the use of devices with tertiary optics, providing an even distribution of light. Before you buy a track lighting system, you need to consider its location.

On the selection criteria for track systems

• The types of lamps used, whether they are incandescent elements (not economical and not durable), LED elements with an impressive service life, high technical characteristics and almost limitless possibilities;
• Caps of light sources, since this parameter directly affects the possibility of using a certain type of product;
• The number of phases, due to which it is possible to connect several sections separately;
• Element color temperature, which characterizes the supply of warm or cold light;
• Supply voltage, which can be 220 volts or 12 volts;
• The degree of protection, the ability to use the device outdoors, in conditions of high humidity, dust, etc.;
• Track led lamp design (can be in classic, modern, retro and other styles).

Each criterion directly affects the subsequent reliability, durability, reliability of the device and its aesthetic appeal.
