Flexible lighting that evolves with the space

In conventional lighting installations, once the electrical work is complete, repositioning light points is usually difficult and impractical. A 48V magnetic system changes that completely. MICRO11 CORE allows luminaires to be moved freely along the track, additional modules to be added, and the lighting layout to be adapted as the needs of the interior change. In practice, this means you can start with a simple configuration and expand it over time as the layout of a living room, kitchen, office or retail environment evolves.

This flexibility is one of the main reasons why 48V magnetic track lighting is so highly valued by designers, architects and investors. A single system can deliver general, task and accent lighting while maintaining a clean, minimalist visual language throughout. For the end user, this means greater freedom; for the designer, it means far better control over the final result.

Minimalist design with a truly architectural effect

SLED MICRO11 CORE belongs to a class of systems designed to complement, not dominate, the interior. Rather than appearing as a heavy, visually intrusive track, it introduces a subtle architectural line that organises the space and reinforces a contemporary design language. Its very low profile, black finish and lightweight luminaires ensure the system remains visually refined even in the most demanding projects.

This is especially important in spaces where lighting is expected not only to illuminate, but also to help define the character of the interior: a modern living room, a kitchen with an island, a minimalist apartment, a reception area, a luxury boutique or a high-end office. Where the objective is a clean, contemporary line of light, an 11 mm system is a far more sophisticated choice than bulkier track solutions.

DALI-2 or ON/OFF – choose the control option that suits the project

One of the strongest advantages of this category is the flexibility to build the system around different control requirements. For simpler applications, ON/OFF is an excellent choice, offering classic switching with straightforward installation. For projects requiring a more advanced lighting strategy, DALI-2 is the natural upgrade.

A DALI magnetic track system enables dimming, scene setting, precise zoning and integration with modern building automation. It is a preferred solution in premium residential and commercial projects where both aesthetics and functionality matter. Crucially, whichever control option you choose, the system retains the same consistent visual identity throughout.

What is included in the MICRO11 CORE category?

This category does not cover individual fixtures only. It includes a complete 11 mm magnetic track lighting system, so there is no need to source tracks, power supplies, luminaires and accessories separately. Everything is brought together within one coordinated standard.

11 mm magnetic tracks – surface-mounted and recessed

The first step is selecting the installation method. A 48V surface-mounted magnetic track is the best solution where faster installation and minimal finishing work are priorities. It is particularly well suited to completed interiors, refurbishment projects and schemes where you do not want to interfere with the ceiling build-up.

A 48V recessed magnetic track is the preferred choice where a flush, architectural finish is required, aligned with the ceiling or wall surface. This option performs especially well in new-build projects, full renovations and plasterboard constructions, including 12.5 mm boards. The decision between surface-mounted and recessed is therefore not purely aesthetic; it also depends on the stage of the project and the installation conditions.

48V power supply and control components

Every 48V magnetic track system requires properly specified power components. With MICRO11 CORE, you can choose a conventional setup based on a power end feed and remote 48V driver, or opt for 100W inline power modules integrated directly into the system. This is a highly practical solution where concealing a separate driver in the ceiling void or joinery is not desirable.

A correctly planned power configuration affects not only system reliability, but also the final appearance and usability of the installation. That is why this category should be approached as a complete system: the track, control method, power solution and luminaire selection should all be specified as one logical whole.

Connectors and installation accessories

A modern track lighting system is rarely limited to a straight run with two fittings. To create a layout that responds to the requirements of a specific project, the right connectors and mounting accessories are essential. MICRO11 CORE includes the components needed to build straight runs, corners, transitions and more customised configurations.

These details are what determine the functionality and visual coherence of the entire installation. If the goal is to create a system designed around the project rather than a random arrangement of fittings, the accessories are just as important as the track and luminaires themselves.

Magnetic track luminaires – linear LED fittings and spotlights

One of the biggest advantages of this system is the ability to combine different luminaire types within a single track. Linear LED luminaires are ideal where you need even ambient illumination, a clean modern line of light and a refined, consistent appearance. In the MICRO11 CORE system, STRIPE luminaires are available in 67 cm, 117 cm and 167 cm lengths, operate on 48V DC, and offer CRI 90 for strong colour rendering and high-quality everyday lighting.

LED spotlights for magnetic track systems, on the other hand, provide directional and accent lighting. They are the ideal choice for illuminating dining tables, worktops, kitchen islands, alcoves, displays and selected design features. The mini ZOOM model offers an adjustable beam angle of 20–45°, CRI 90, and very low glare levels of UGR <16. This combination delivers both flexibility and excellent visual comfort. These specifications are particularly important in spaces where the lighting must perform not only beautifully, but also professionally and comfortably.

In most cases, the best result comes from combining both luminaire types. The linear fitting establishes the ambient lighting base, while the spotlights introduce accent, contrast and functionality. This modularity is exactly what allows MICRO11 CORE to work equally well in residential and commercial applications.

Audio integrated into the track – a system that does more than lighting

MICRO11 CORE can integrate not only light, but also sound. This is a major differentiator not found in most 11 mm systems. The category includes audio components that allow discreet, visually coherent sound integration within the same system line. This is particularly attractive for boutiques, showrooms, reception areas, premium zones and contemporary commercial interiors where the visual impact of technical equipment matters.

How to build a starter kit for a 48V magnetic track system

If you are planning a system from scratch, the simplest and safest starter configuration includes:

• an 11 mm magnetic track – either surface-mounted or recessed

• an ON/OFF or DALI-2 power feed end

• a 48V power supply or a 100W power module

• luminaires – for example, a STRIPE linear fitting and one or more spotlights

• connectors and accessories, if you are planning a longer run or corner layout

This provides an excellent foundation for future expansion. You can begin with a basic configuration and later add more luminaires, change the spotlight layout or upgrade to more advanced control. From a purchasing perspective, this is a major advantage, because there is no need to define the most complex possible installation from the outset.

Where does 11 mm magnetic track lighting perform best?

In residential interiors, MICRO11 CORE works exceptionally well in living rooms, kitchens, dining areas, bedrooms, hallways, wardrobes and home offices. In the kitchen, it combines ambient light with precise task lighting over work surfaces; in the living room, it enables a refined multi-zone layout; and in hallways or wardrobes, it provides excellent freedom of luminaire placement without visually overloading the space.

In commercial environments, the system is an excellent choice for boutiques, galleries, showrooms, reception areas, offices and service spaces. The ability to reposition luminaires, apply accent spotlights and create long, elegant lines of light makes 11 mm magnetic tracks particularly well suited to premium contemporary projects.

Frequently asked questions about the MICRO11 CORE system

What is the difference between DALI-2 and ON/OFF?

ON/OFF is a simple control method: the light is either switched on or off. DALI-2 enables dimming, lighting scenes and more advanced control strategies, making it a better choice for premium and commercial projects.

Surface-mounted or recessed – which track should I choose?

A 48V surface-mounted track is best for completed interiors and faster installations. A recessed 11 mm track delivers a more flush, architectural result and is particularly suitable for new-builds and larger renovation projects.

Are all 48V systems compatible with one another?

Compatibility should never be assumed based on voltage alone. Different 48V systems may vary in track profile, luminaire fixing method, adapters and construction details. For this reason, it is always best to build the installation within one consistent MICRO11 / CORE11 standard.

Which luminaires should I choose for a magnetic track?

For ambient lighting, linear luminaires are generally the best solution. For task and accent lighting, spotlights are more effective. In practice, the most functional and visually balanced systems combine both within the same track.

Do CRI 90 and UGR <16 really make a difference?

Yes. CRI 90 ensures excellent colour rendering, improving the appearance of interiors, materials and merchandise. UGR <16 helps reduce glare, increasing overall visual comfort. These parameters are particularly important in spaces where people spend extended periods of time or where lighting is intended to highlight detail.
