A low voltage LED track lighting system is a multi-use linear lighting system that accommodates various types of luminaires to make lighting perform to exact, diversified needs. Typically, it takes advantage of a track that combines a magnetic fastener and a 48V rail. The low voltage track system is designed to support miniaturized LED luminaires which take on a design boiled down to its purest form and still make a statement and deliver performance comparable to luminaires with a conventional design. The rising popularity of magnetic track lighting can largely be attributed to iGuzzini who created the well-known Laser Blade range miniaturized LED luminaires in 2012. Miniaturization of LED luminaires and the linear design of recessed downlights and spotlights facilitated the adoption of tool-free magnetic mount track lighting systems.
Traditionally, track lighting has been used as a performance lighting solution in retail environments, commercial showrooms and art museums. In these spaces the ceiling luminance is deliberately toned down to ensure the tracks and luminaires are not visually distractive or do not overwhelm the space. Low voltage magnetic track lighting systems offer an architectural approach to lighting through system miniaturization. A recessed track with a width as narrow as 1 inch permits unobtrusive ceiling and wall integration. With a slim profile, the track creates minimal footprint even when it is surface mounted or suspended from a ceiling.
