Multiline - magnetic track system 22mm 48V

Multiline 22mm (48V) magnetic tracks – flexible track lighting for residential and commercial interiors

Multiline 22mm magnetic tracks are a modern 48V track lighting system where luminaires attach magnetically and can be freely repositioned, swapped, and the layout expanded—without renovation work. In practice, it means one coherent “tool for light”: you design a line or track configuration, then select modules precisely matched to each zone’s function—from general illumination, through task lighting, to accent lighting.

This solution is designed for those who want to combine minimalist aesthetics with genuine day-to-day usability: the lighting should look refined, but above all perform flawlessly—in the kitchen, living room, hallway, office, showroom, service studio, or reception area.

Multiline track 22mm lamps and luminaires – how to build layered lighting

The best results come not from “one powerful fixture,” but from lighting planned in layers. A magnetic system is purpose-built for this approach, because within one continuous line you can combine multiple module types.

Layer 1: ambient (general) lighting

Most often delivered with linear modules—they provide an even, comfortable base layer for a living room, corridor, office, or open-plan area. This is the foundation on which you build everything else.

Layer 2: task (precision) lighting

Spotlights and directional modules are essential above a countertop, desk, in a walk-in closet, by a mirror, and in any zone where clarity matters. Here, optics, beam angle, and visual comfort are decisive.

Layer 3: accent lighting (decor and architecture)

Wall washers (wall lighting) and point accents reveal textures, artwork, shelving, and niches. This is the fastest route to an “interior with depth”—even without changing any furniture.

Pendants in a magnetic system

Track-mounted pendants let you maintain a consistent system language while adding a decorative feature above a table or island. Compared to a classic single ceiling point, you gain significantly more freedom to adjust positioning later.

Multiline 22mm system specification – what to verify before purchase (model-dependent)

You will find the parameters below in product sheets and module specifications. It is worth comparing them, because they determine the final effect, comfort, and compatibility within the system.

Electrical parameters and control

• Track operating voltage: 48V (low-voltage system)
• Power supply/driver: selected for the total module wattage with a safety margin
• Operating mode: On/Off or dimming/control variants (depending on the gear)
• Zones and scenes: dependent on the chosen control method and how the installation is divided into circuits/sections

Lighting parameters (photometry)

• Luminous flux (lm): the module’s real “light output”
• Correlated color temperature (K): the mood and function of the zone
• CRI/Ra: color rendering quality (important in kitchens, closets, with materials and art)
• Beam angle: accent precision versus softness of general light
• Glare limitation: optical solutions that directly affect visual comfort

Mechanical parameters and installation

• Track mounting type: surface / recessed / trimless / suspended
• Section lengths and connection method: straight connectors, corners, power-feed elements
• Profile color: matching the ceiling or creating intentional contrast
• Accessories: end caps, mounting parts, ceiling-to-wall transitions (if the design requires them)

A critical practical rule: do not mix components from different system families “because they have a similar dimension.” 22mm is sometimes used as an aesthetic descriptor, but mechanical and electrical compatibility depends on the exact system and manufacturer.

How to choose light parameters—simple, practical, and without guesswork

Luminous flux (lm)

Lumens indicate how much light a module delivers. In track systems, it is best to plan by zones: more light for work areas and kitchens, less for relaxation, with atmosphere created through accents and dimming. A major advantage of Multiline is that you can easily adjust after installation—add a module or change its type.

Correlated color temperature (K)

Warm light supports relaxation; neutral light improves focus and the “readability” of the space. The most coherent result comes from keeping one CCT range across the entire property, while mood is controlled through intensity, direction, and scenes.

CRI (Ra)

CRI indicates how faithfully light renders color. In residential and premium interiors, it is especially important to specify high CRI in kitchens, wardrobes, and anywhere material color matters (wood, textiles, stone) or where you display art.

Beam angle and visual comfort

Narrow beams are excellent for accents and precision; wider beams support soft general lighting. If comfort is a priority, choose solutions that limit glare—this is what makes light feel “elegant,” not merely “bright.”

Control, dimming, and scenes—when it is worth it and what it changes

On/Off – when you want simplicity

If your priority is a flexible luminaire layout and the ability to make changes, On/Off may be sufficient. You still gain the key advantage: modularity.

Tuya dimming – simplicity with better comfort

Dimming and color adjustment let you adapt the interior to the time of day: stronger for work, more subtle in the evening. It also helps maintain a consistent aesthetic (the same modules), while mood changes come from intensity and color.

DALI and system control – for projects that require precision

DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is a control standard that enables addressing, grouping luminaires, and creating scenes. It is typically selected for premium homes and larger installations, or wherever zone control and repeatable scenes matter (offices, services, large living areas). Control should always be designed as a complete system: the power supply, modules, and control gear must be mutually compatible.

How to build a Multiline magnetic system

1) Define zones and scenes

Write down where you need ambient, task, and accent lighting. This is the foundation of a good design.

2) Choose the track mounting type

Surface / recessed / trimless / suspended—depending on the ceiling and the intended visual effect.

3) Determine the track route and power-feed locations

A straight line or a layout with corners? Do you need a ceiling-to-wall transition? Is it better to divide the installation into sections?

4) Select modules by function

• linear modules as the base layer
• spots for task work and precise accents
• wall washers for walls and textures
• pendants for decorative zones

5) Calculate wattage and select the power supply with a safety margin

Add up the module wattages and include a 15–25% reserve. For larger layouts, dividing the installation into sections is advisable.

6) Decide on control

On/Off or dimming and scenes? If you want automation, plan it at the control-gear selection stage.

7) Complete the system accessories

Connectors, corners, power-feed elements, end caps, and mounting hardware—these determine a smooth installation without missing parts.

Minimum starting requirements for Multiline 22 tracks

• track in the chosen mounting type
• power feed and/or a 48V power supply
• basic accessories (e.g., end caps/connectors depending on layout)
• a set of luminaires: a linear module as the base + 2–3 spots for tasks and accents

Example configurations – quick inspirations that work in practice

Kitchen and dining

• a linear module as background light
• directional spots above the countertop/island
• a pendant or accent over the table zone

Most convenient is to plan at least two scenes: “work” (brighter) and “evening” (soft, atmospheric).

Living room

• a line as general lighting
• a wall accent (wall washer or spots for artwork/shelving)
• optionally, a dedicated reading zone

In living rooms, control makes the difference: the same modules can create entirely different atmospheres depending on intensity and the balance between layers.

Hallway and circulation

• even illumination + a subtle vertical-plane accent

This is where magnetic track can “organize” an interior with one consistent architectural detail.

Office, studio, showroom

• strong task lighting + accents for zones/displays

When desk layouts or displays change, you simply reposition modules—without altering the wiring.

Common mistakes—and how to avoid them

A power supply sized “right on the limit”

A wattage reserve means stability, fewer failures, and room for future expansion.

No scene plan

Without scenes, interiors tend to be “too bright” or “flat.” Start with function and layers, then select modules.

Too much general light, not enough accent

One well-lit wall can do more than additional ceiling points.

Buying “similar” instead of compatible components

Stay within one Multiline system family—it is the shortest route to a trouble-free installation and a predictable outcome.

Random spotlight beam angles

Match optics to the target and distance: countertop lighting needs a different beam than artwork or circulation zones.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about magnetic track lighting and 48V systems

1. Is 48V magnetic track lighting safe for home use?

Yes. It is a low-voltage system (typically 48V DC), so the risk of electric shock is significantly lower than with 230V installations. That said, safety does not eliminate installation rules: the power supply and any 230V connections should be handled by a qualified electrician, and all components must be selected within one compatible system.

2. How do I choose a power supply for a 48V magnetic track system?

Add up the wattage (W) of all luminaires on a single circuit, then add a 15–20% reserve so the power supply is not operating at its limit.
For example: 6 luminaires × 12W = 72W; with a 20% reserve this is 86.4W, so the best choice is a 100W power supply.

For larger installations, it is better to split the layout into sections and use several power supplies rather than one heavily loaded unit. If you are planning dimming or smart control, make sure the luminaires are available in a DALI version.

3. Are magnetic tracks and luminaires from different manufacturers compatible?

In most cases, full compatibility is not guaranteed—even if the systems look similar. Differences may include track profile, contact spacing and geometry, power delivery, maximum load ratings, and control protocols. The safest rule for customers is: one track = one system = one family of accessories and luminaires. Mixing components can lead to poor contact, flicker, overheating, or damage.

4. Can magnetic luminaires be dimmed and integrated with a smart home?

Yes—but only if the entire control chain is consistent. Luminaires must be dimmable, and the power supply and controller must support the selected dimming/control method (system-based, bus-based, or dedicated smart solutions). A common issue is buying “dimmable” fixtures but pairing them with a power supply/controller that does not match the dimming type. If you plan Home Assistant, Zigbee, or another platform, start by deciding how you will control the lighting, then specify the hardware accordingly.

5. Can I install a magnetic track myself?

Mechanical installation (surface-mounted or suspended) can be straightforward, but connecting to the 230V mains and commissioning the power supply should be done by a licensed electrician. In practice, the user can freely reposition luminaires on the track and expand the setup within the same system. If you choose recessed installation, plan it at the ceiling construction stage—later it may be too late.

6. Can magnetic tracks be cut to size?

Yes, but it must be done in accordance with the specific track’s instructions, and the conductive runs must be properly finished/terminated.

7. How many luminaires can I run on one track, and how long can the runs be?

The limit depends on the power supply rating, the system’s maximum permissible load, and run length—because long routes can cause voltage drop and uneven brightness. If you plan many luminaires or long layouts, design the installation in sections and distribute the power feed. In practice, two stable circuits are usually better than one “at the limit”: it improves reliability and makes future expansion easier.

8. Why do magnetic lights flicker or shine unevenly?

The most common causes are: an incorrectly selected power supply (insufficient wattage or the wrong type for dimming), poor contact at connectors, an overloaded section, or incorrect coupler/connector installation. Problems can also result from mixing components from different systems or powering overly long runs from one end only. Troubleshooting should start with verifying power, load, and connections—before replacing luminaires.

9. How do I choose luminaires for the kitchen, living room, and over the table—spots or linear modules?

For kitchens and countertops, directional luminaires (better precision and shadow control) are typically combined with a linear module or wide ambient lighting. In living rooms, it’s best to layer light: a base (linear/wide distribution), accents (spots for walls, artwork, textures), and mood lighting. Over a dining table, use a layout that evenly covers the tabletop without glare—often a linear module or several appropriately angled points performs better than one very powerful spot.

10. Which should I choose: a 48V magnetic system or classic 230V track (1-circuit/3-circuit)?

Choose 48V if you want a modern aesthetic, easy repositioning of luminaires, and modular expandability for home or office. Choose 230V if your priorities are lower cost, straightforward mains powering without an additional power supply, standardised accessory availability, and a more traditional installation approach.
