LED track lights

Track lighting systems are widely used in a variety of areas: from administrative to residential buildings. LED, halogen, metal halide and fluorescent lamps can be used as a light source in such designs. One of the most popular options are LED track lights. They not only significantly reduce energy consumption, but also have a number of other significant advantages.

LED bus lighting systems are modern designs consisting of the following elements:

• busbar;
• fixtures;
• plugs and connectors;

• cable entries;
• mounting devices and track suspensions;
• transformer for voltage conversion.

As light sources in such devices use mainly LED lamps. Installation of fixtures of different types and capacities on one such design is also allowed.

Light sources in track systems are mounted on a busbar. Busline is a control profile along which lamps are rotated and moved. The number of built-in light devices is determined based on the size and purpose of the illuminated room.

Track systems were originally designed for trading floors. Such systems allow you to focus on the illuminated goods, which helps to attract the attention of visitors to the store. Later, LED lamps on the busbar also began to be installed in public (museums, catering establishments, exhibitions, entertainment centers) and residential buildings.

Tire systems stand out among other lighting systems with a number of advantages, which makes them increasingly popular.

The main advantages of using LED rail systems:

• The ability to control the luminous flux. Luminaires in such systems can be turned and moved at different angles.
• The laconic and strict design is perfectly combined with any interior.
• Accent lighting.
• Zoning space.
• Adjustable lighting height.
• The ability to connect new fixtures to the system.

• Minimum power consumption.
• Bright light, which will not be tired eyes.
• High quality and durable.
• The possibility of using dimmable lamps.
• Easy installation, ease of operation and replacement (both of the whole system and individual elements).

Before installing the system, it is necessary to determine the location and direction of the tires. The first step in installing the system is the installation of a busline. Suspended structures are first mounted on the floor and then attached to the ceiling.Embedded and overhead systems can be immediately installed on the desired surface (ceiling or wall).

The second step is the installation of lamps on the busbar. Installation of track lights is a little different from the installation of point. First connect the wiring. The wiring contacts are distributed over the intended track installation site. Matching the color of the wire must be connected, all the bare wires must be insulated.

After that, the fixtures are installed: a special groove must be inserted into the electrical adapter, after which you will hear a click. A flick of the lever will indicate successful fixation of the lamp.

LED track products belong to the group of low-power devices, since at loads over 40 watts the light-emitting diodes are subjected to strong overheating.

By the number of phases in the busbar, the following devices are distinguished:

• with one phase;
• with three phases.

The operating voltage of single-phase networks is 220 volts. On a single-phase bus, lamps are installed and connected using a special adapter.Powering the three-phase system occurs at 380 volts. Three-phase power is needed for high power track systems.

By type of fasteners The following devices are distinguished:

• linear;
• T-shaped;
• L-shaped.

LED lamps differ in angles of dispersion of light. Instruments with low dispersion angles provide spot lighting for objects. Products with a high rate can evenly cover large areas. By scope distinguish household, commercial and universal devices.

In appearance, the models differ in shapes, sizes and colors - despite the rigor and conciseness of the design of all LED track devices. Most often the lamp body is made in the following colors: black, white, gray, chrome. Non-standard color solutions are also allowed.

The demand for LED devices is growing every year. LED lamps are the most environmentally friendly sources of artificial light. They contain no mercury-containing substances, which makes such lamps reliable and safe to use. Energy-saving LED products do not require special disposal.

Elements of LED lamps are of high quality and durability. When working around the clock LED lamp can last from three to five years, which is a clear advantage over incandescent bulbs.

The color rendering coefficient of LED devices varies in the range of 75-85 Ra, which indicates a high level of compliance with the natural color of the object when it is illuminated with a visible color. Such devices do not have low-frequency pulsation, which causes strain and eye fatigue.

The light of most LED devices can be regulated by voltage, since many LED lamps are dimmable. Modern devices are equipped with additional optics, which helps to evenly distribute the luminous flux.

The body of the track LED lamps is made only of durable and vibration-resistant materials, which indicates the high quality and reliability of such products. One of the main advantages of LED devices is the economical use of energy: 120 lumens per watt.

When choosing a rail LED devices in the first place is to focus on the functional purpose of the room and the level of natural lighting. For shopping facilities, museums and galleries suitable exposure lamps. Such devices are characterized by a concentrated stream of light, which allows you to focus on the desired subject.

In premises of industrial purpose and in warehouses it is necessary to install lamps with high moisture resistance and resistance to mechanical stress. For the home, LED track lights on a flexible busbar will be an excellent option.

For a more economical power consumption, it is worth making a choice in favor of devices with low power. The intensity of the room illumination will depend on such an indicator as luminous flux. If you need to focus on a particular object, then you need to install lamps with a minimum angle of dispersion.

The type of light-emitting diodes determines the duration of product operation: the worse the quality of the light emitting element, the less the lamp will last. One of the key functional features of track lights is the ability to change the direction, height and the product itself.For commercial buildings, it is recommended to place LED products with brackets in the form of brackets, this will significantly increase the efficiency of the bus system as a whole.

Dimmable lighting fixture can effectively cope with the task of allocating the working area in the kitchen.

Accent lighting art objects in the bedroom makes the design of the room more spectacular and memorable.

LED track lights are in harmony with other furnishings in the living room in the style of minimalism.

LED track lighting makes the room stylish and interesting.

The narrow hallway with rail lights visually becomes larger - thanks to this type of lighting and compact lighting fixtures. This design allows you to highlight all the dark corners in the room.
