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.

How does a 48V magnetic track work—and how is it different from a classic 230V track?

A magnetic system is designed to simplify both the design process and the long-term “life” of the lighting. With classic 230V tracks, changes can be more labor-intensive and less modular. With Multiline 48V, the track becomes a stable infrastructure, and the modules are interchangeable components you adapt to zones and tasks.

When can a classic 230V track be a better choice?

If you are building an installation with very high power loads, very long runs, or a typical retail space based on three-phase standards, a classic track can be practical. In apartments, high-end residences, offices, service areas, and “premium” projects, a 48V magnetic system typically wins on flexibility, aesthetics, and ease of change.

Multiline 22mm installation options—choose a system that fits the interior architecture

Surface-mounted magnetic track

The most universal option for lower rooms and anywhere you do not plan a suspended ceiling. A surface-mounted track creates a clean line while allowing fast module rearrangement. It works well in kitchens, living rooms, hallways, and home offices.

Recessed magnetic track with trim frame

For those who want a subtle ceiling frame and the option to remove the track easily. A framed recessed track is straightforward to install and does not require extremely precise plaster finishing after installation. It does, however, require planning at the suspended-ceiling stage.

Trimless recessed magnetic track (no frame)

A frequent choice for refined minimalism. When finished correctly, the track reads like an architectural detail with very discreet system boundaries. This option suits interiors where clean geometry and top-tier aesthetics are essential.

Suspended track

Ideal for high ceilings and zones where you want to bring the light source down: above an island, table, counter, or reception desk. It improves task-lighting comfort and delivers a strong design effect.

Wall mounting and ceiling-to-wall transitions

A wall-mounted magnetic track allows you to illuminate vertical planes, circulation routes, displays, and surface textures. Ceiling-to-wall transitions help unify the interior with one consistent “drawing of light.

Recessed and trimless mounting: the most architectural look, requires early planning.

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 glare comfort are decisive.

Layer 3: accent lighting (decor and architecture)

Wall washers and point accents reveal textures, artwork, shelving, niches and vertical planes. One well-lit wall often adds more “premium depth” than extra ceiling points.

Pendants in a magnetic system

Track-mounted pendants keep the same system language while adding a decorative feature above a table or island. Compared to a classic single ceiling point, you gain much more freedom to adjust positioning later.

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

Electrical parameters and control

• Track operating voltage: 48V (low-voltage system)

• Power supply/driver: matched to total module wattage with headroom

• Operating mode: On/Off or dimming/control variants (gear-dependent)

• Zones and scenes: dependent on the chosen control method and how the installation is divided into sections

Lighting parameters (photometry)

• Luminous flux (lm): the 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)

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

Control, dimming and scenes—when it is worth it

• On/Off – when you want simplicity
• If your priority is a flexible luminaire layout and the option to change later, On/Off can be enough. You still get modularity.
• Tuya / smart dimming – easy comfort upgrades
• Dimming and (in some products) color adjustment let you adapt the interior to the time of day: brighter for work, softer in the evening.
• DALI and system control – for projects that require precision
• DALI enables addressing, grouping luminaires, and repeatable scenes. Always treat control as one chain: modules, driver and control gear must be compatible.

How to build a Multiline magnetic system (step-by-step)

1. Define zones and scenes

Write down where you need ambient, task, and accent lighting.

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 (consistent rule)

Add up the module wattages in a section (ΣW) and choose a driver with at least 20% headroom:
P ≥ ΣW × 1.2
For larger layouts, split into sections and target ≤ ~80% operating load per driver (stability + room to expand).

How to choose a 48V power supply (simple rule)

• Add up the wattage of all modules in a given section: ΣW
• Select a power supply with reserve: P ≥ ΣW × 1.2 (minimum 20% headroom)
• For larger layouts, split into sections and target an operating load of ≤ ~80% (stable performance + room to expand)

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.

Starter kits (ready-to-plan sets) – practical combinations that work

Use these as proven “building blocks.” You can scale up by adding more modules or splitting into more sections.

• Track (choose by ceiling): trimless recessed or recessed with trim
• Driver (size by rule P ≥ ΣW × 1.2)
• Small precise points for work zones
• Optional smart comfort (scenes / CCT, product-dependent)

Starter kit B — Living room (premium depth with a wall accent)

• Base layer: linear module(s) + a few spots for flexible accents
• Wall washer for vertical planes and textures

Starter kit C — Dining table / island (pendant in the track = freedom later)

• Track route aligned to the table/island
• Pendant module(s) so you can move the light with the furniture

Starter kit D — Office / studio / showroom (task + accents that move with the layout)

• Base (linear) + task (spots) + accents (wall/display)

Example configurations – quick inspirations that work in practice

Kitchen and dining

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

Tip: plan at least two scenes: “work” (brighter) and “evening” (soft).

Living room

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

Hallway and circulation

• even illumination + subtle vertical-plane accent

Office, studio, showroom

• strong task lighting + accents for zones/displays

Common mistakes—and how to avoid them

• A power supply sized “right on the limit”: choose headroom.
• No scene plan: start with zones and layers, then specify modules.
• Too much general light, not enough accent: one well-lit wall changes everything.
• Mixing “similar” instead of compatible components: stay within one system family.
• Random spotlight beam angles: match optics to distance and target.

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 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.
