Magnetic Track Lights and Systems (48V)
Magnetic track lighting is the absolute revolution of recent years in modern interior and lighting design. Unlike traditional 1-phase or 3-phase systems, which carry a dangerous 220V voltage and require physical force or even tools to attach luminaires, magnetic track systems use innovative and completely safe 48V low-voltage technology. This means one thing - they are "Safe-to-Touch". You can literally stick your finger in the track when it is turned on without risking an electric shock. This innovation has made magnetic systems the first choice for architects and premium homeowners in living rooms, kitchens, and modern offices.
Why the magnetic system (48V) is the future of interior design (Your TCO and functionality benefits):
- Extreme design flexibility (Click-and-Play): To change or move a lamp, you don't need to call a certified electrician and you don't even need to turn off the light switch. You simply grab the luminaire, pull it out of the track by hand (disconnecting the magnet), and "stick" it anywhere else on the track. The magnetic contacts instantly connect to the current and the luminaire lights up. This allows you to change the lighting scenario of the room in seconds if, for example, you have moved the dining table or bought a new painting.
- Invisible and clean architecture: Magnetic tracks are specially designed so that they can be perfectly recessed (hidden) in drywall (plasterboard) or stretch ceilings. In the end, you only see an elegant, black 2-3 cm wide line in the ceiling that contains no visible fixings or wires.
- Reduced luminaire wear (Long-term TCO): Because a stable 48V DC voltage flows through the track (provided by a separate power supply), there is no need to build massive and hot power converters into the luminaires themselves. This means that magnetic LED luminaires heat up significantly less than standard 220V lamps, which dramatically extends the life of LED diodes, reducing your costs for lighting replacement in the long term.
Don't let complex installation or inflexible lighting dictate the design of your space. VIDEX magnetic track systems give you an engineering miracle - the ability to play with light like a construction set. Choose premium quality, absolute fire safety, and minimalist aesthetics.

Q: How does the 48V magnetic track system fundamentally differ from classic 230V tracks?
Q: How are VIDEX magnetic luminaires mechanically secured in the track profile?
Q: Does a 48V magnetic system require a separate power supply unit?
Q: What maximum cable length can be used between the external 48V transformer and the track itself?
Q: Are magnetic tracks compatible with smart building (DALI or Zigbee) control protocols?
A: Magnetic system tracks carry low-voltage 48V direct current (DC) rather than hazardous 230V mains voltage. This physically eliminates the risk of electric shock, allowing engineers and end-users to safely change or move luminaires barehanded even when the system is under power.
Q: How are VIDEX magnetic luminaires mechanically secured in the track profile?
A: luminaire adapters feature built-in neodymium magnets that attract to the track's internal steel core with high physical force. Additional integrated mechanical latches strictly prevent the luminaire from falling out, ensuring a double safety standard for massive spotlights and hanging fixtures.
Q: Does a 48V magnetic system require a separate power supply unit?
A: Yes, a 48V system strictly requires an alternating current to direct current (AC/DC) transformer to operate. It can be integrated directly into the aluminum track itself or hidden behind a drywall ceiling, providing current conversion from the building's 230V AC to a stable 48V DC.
Q: What maximum cable length can be used between the external 48V transformer and the track itself?
A: Engineering standards for 48V low-voltage installations require that the cable length from the external power supply to the track does not exceed 10 to 15 meters. Over longer distances, electrical resistance causes a physical voltage drop, which leads to flickering or lumen loss at the far end of the track.
Q: Are magnetic tracks compatible with smart building (DALI or Zigbee) control protocols?
A: Yes, the architecture of 48V track systems is engineeringly open for integration with DALI or Bluetooth/Zigbee networks. Using smart 48V drivers, each magnetic luminaire on the common phase can be independently dimmed or grouped via a central control panel without altering the base electrical wiring.
