Now people have higher requirements for lighting design. In addition, to meet the basic lighting, they also need to consider functional lighting, ambient lighting, intelligence, and other needs to create a more comfortable and stylish living and working environment. At a time when minimalist design is popular. The LED magnetic track light is a new hot product that has stood out in recent years, because they are highly compatible with this design and gradually become a popular trend in decorating the current no-main light. What is the difference between the enduring conventional LED track lights and the new market darling LED magnetic track lights?
In the realm of interior lighting and lighting design, the difference between magnetic track lights and traditional track lights is one of innovation versus tradition, flexibility versus stability, and modernity versus convention. Each lighting system brings its own set of characteristics and advantages to the table, catering to different needs and preferences.
1. What Is Magnetic Track Light?
Magnetic track light is a lighting system including the magnetic track, light fixtures and the power/transformer. Magnetic track lights represent a contemporary approach to lighting fixtures, utilizing magnetic attachment for effortless installation and adjustability. Magnetic track lights seamlessly adhere to a metal track through magnetic attraction.
There are several types of magnetic track lights including recessed profiles, surface profiles and pendant profiles, each of them should be installed in different ways depending on the interior design and the combination of the whole decor.
2 What's the track light?
Track lighting is a lighting fixture that uses a track or rail to support and power individual light fixtures. The lights, also known as track heads, can be positioned anywhere along the track and pointed in almost any direction. This flexibility allows for customization and different uses, such as general illumination, accent lighting, or wall washing
Magnetic Track Lights vs. Track Lights! what's the difference?
1.Voltage-Safety
In fact, magnetic light is also a type of track light.
The fixation of the Ordinary track lights use 220v AC power supply. The driving power supply of the lamp is installed inside the track light. The 220V AC power reaches the track light driver and then transforms the voltage and outputs it to the lamp beads.
The magnetic track light is generally low voltage, first converts 220V photocurrent into 48V or 24V DC through a transformer and then outputs it to the magnetic track. Therefore, it is not difficult to see that magnetic track lights are safer to power.
2. Different rail
Magnetic track rail is a component of magnetic track lighting systems that allows magnetic LED light fixtures to move freely along a track. The track is made of an aluminum shell, copper conductor, and iron sheet. When a light fixture with a magnet is placed near the iron sheet, it's adsorbed onto the track without tools. The fixture also makes contact with the copper conductor, which is powered by a transformer to provide DC48V /DC24V for the entire lighting system.
The track, or rail, of track lighting is a ceiling-mounted support system that provides electricity to individual light fixtures. There are four type track in it, 2 wires, 3 wires, 4 wire and 6 wires。
3. Different fixing methods
The fixing method of ordinary track lights is to use buckles to fix the lights on the track. The fixation between the lamps and the track of magnetic track lights is fixed by strong magnets. Therefore, if ordinary track lights are installed on the track, you have to loosen the buckle before moving, while magnetic track lights can slide freely on the track.
4. Different flexibility
Ordinary track lights generally only have a single type of spotlight. But in jarstar, there are linear track light, wall washer track light, and square track light, these are our proprietary product
The lighting products of magnetic track lights are more abundant, including not only track spotlights, but also direct grille lights, adjustable grille lights and hanging wires. It can improve the utilization rate of magnetic tracks while meeting different lighting needs.
5. Fashion Design Of Its Appearance
The appearance of magnetic track light emphasizes simple and smooth lines, without complex or unnecessary decorations. This minimalist style reduces visual confusion, making the overall space visually less complicated and more in line with the trend of modern minimalism.
6. Cost
A traditional track is cheaper than a magnetic track and easy to maintain.
Conclusion
Both magnetic track lights and traditional track lights have their own set of advantages and limitations.
Magnetic track lights shine in terms of ease of replacement, flexibility, fashion design, making them an excellent choice for modern interior lighting solutions. However, traditional track lights still hold their ground in terms of power, stability and price advantage, appealing to those who prioritize conventional design and cost-effective concern.
Ultimately, the choice between the two depends on individual preferences, aesthetic considerations, and the specific requirements of the space. Welcome to JARSTAR to choose what's kinds of LED light you like.
