How to choose the right Magnetic track lights?

Magnetic track lights are a highlight in home decoration. Whether you want to illuminate your home space or add a touch of mood to the living room background or bedroom, magnetic track lights can meet your needs.

What happens if you don't choose the right magnetic track light?

1. Difficult installation: If you choose a magnetic track light of poor quality or unreasonable design, the installation process may be complicated, requiring more time and labor, or even impossible to install due to incompatibility between the track and the lamp.

2. Poor lighting effect: If the lamp's light source quality is low, it may lead to unsatisfactory lighting effects, such as uneven light distribution, insufficient brightness, or poor color reproduction.

3. High maintenance cost: If you choose an unsuitable magnetic track light, lamp damage or track problems may lead to higher maintenance and replacement costs.

4. Aesthetic problems: If the track's appearance design does not match the interior decoration style, or if the track is cracked or uneven after installation, it will affect the beauty of the interior.

5. Functional problems: Although magnetic track lights' flexibility is an advantage, if they are not designed properly, they may not meet specific lighting needs, such as glare or excessive light.

How to choose the right Magnetic track lights?

1. Determine the Magnetic layout and installation method

Before decoration, determine the layout of the track rails according to the room space.
Six types of Magnetic Track rail layout

1.1 Recessed Magnetic Trail Rail (Internal) / Pre-embedded type

 When the ceiling is suspended, use wooden strips to make grooves, embed the track, and seal the gypsum board.

 1.2 Recessed Trail Rail (External) /  Plastering type

After the ceiling is suspended, grooves are made, the track rail is embedded, and anti-cracking nets are added before plastering.

 1.3 Surface-mounted type

when there is no ceiling, the track is directly affixed to the ceiling and fixed with expansion screws.
If the space is not too high, you must choose an Ultra-thin magnetic track rail.

 1.4 Suspended type

When there is no ceiling, the hanging wire is fixed to the ceiling, and the track is clamped on the hanging wire.


The recessed type needs to be installed during decoration and is integrated with the ceiling. The installation is complicated, but it looks very beautiful.

The surface-mounted and suspended installations are installed after decoration. They are simple but not as good-looking as the Recessed installation.

Compared with two Recessed Trail rails, the Internal / pre-embedded type is better as the more stable installation. 

For the plastering type, the plastering is easy to crack, and maintenance is troublesome in the future.

2. Choose the high-quality magnetic Trail Rail and power supply

 2.1 Aluminum thickness

It is recommended that the track thickness be more than 2 mm. 

If it is too thin, it will easily deform during installation or transportation, making it difficult to move the lamp later and causing poor contact.

 2.2 Conductive performance

The conductive strips inside the track should be made of 2.0mm wide flat copper, which determines the stability of the power-on effect. Copper's conductivity and corrosion resistance are better than those of brass, so there will be no poor contact during power-on in the later stage.

 2.3 Power supply 

The power supply is 100w and 200w.

One track rail can be equipped with one power supply, the size of which is determined according to the wattage of the lamps on the track.

The integrated built-in power supply is more convenient and safer.

A split external power supply can also be considered, but it requires additional installation space.

3. Choose high-quality Magnetic LED lamps and match them reasonably

 3.1 Types of Magnetic LED Track Lights

Floodlight module: provides basic lighting, suitable for spaces that require uniform lighting, and can bring a minimalist and extended visual experience in terms of shape.

Grille module: usually used for accent lighting to highlight pictures or architectural elements. The grille can reduce glare and make the light more concentrated.

Folding grille light: This spotlight with an adjustable angle is used for accent lighting and can be mounted on the wall. Unlike the grille, the protruding part can be adjusted in angle, and the length can be selected.

Magnetic track Spotlight module: It is highly flexible and adjustable and can precisely control the direction of light, suitable for occasions that require accent lighting or wall-washing effects.

Pendant light module: The light output effect of the chandelier is concentrated, which can be used as decorative lighting to add an artistic feel to the space, and can also provide auxiliary lighting.

 3.2 Performance indicators of Magnetic track lamps

Color temperature: How to choose the right color temperature for your home?

CRI: The color rendering index of magnetic track lamps is also very important. The color rendering index should be greater than 90, and the closer to 100, the better. It is best to choose low blue light, which is less harmful to the eyes and will not cause fatigue.

Anti-Glare: Why is Anti-Glare LED light very important?

Flicker-free: Why is flicker-free LED lighting very important?

Power factor: Understand the power factor in the LED lighting systems

 3.3 Reasonable distribution of Magnetic track lights

Magnetic track lights are suitable for various scenes. Living rooms, open kitchens, corridors, bedrooms, etc. can all find lighting solutions that suit them. You can freely splice the length according to the size of the space to meet personalized needs.

Magnetic track lights can also be controlled remotely and automatically adjusted for brightness through smart lighting, improving convenience.

In the living room and open kitchen, magnetic track lights can be matched with floodlights and chandelier lines to create a flowing light and shadow effect, making the space more spacious and extended.

In the corridor, spotlights can project more colorful decorations, increasing the sense of layering of the space.

In the bedroom, magnetic track lights can provide soft floodlighting to create a comfortable sleeping environment.
