Track lighting fixtures and lights
Track lighting fixtures allow you to combine different light sources within a single system. This means you can highlight specific areas or create even illumination throughout the room.Many track lighting fixtures can be positioned flexibly. This is particularly practical in living rooms or dining areas when furniture arrangements or how the room is used change.
Recommended brightness levels:
Living rooms and bedrooms: 100–150 lm/m²
Kitchens, bathrooms and offices: 250–300 lm/m²
LED track lighting systems for modern lighting
Modern track lighting often uses LED technology. LED track lighting systems on the ceiling provide bright light instantly and can be flexibly adapted to different areas of the room.
Warm white light between 2,700 and 3,300 K is often chosen for living rooms and bedrooms. In kitchens, bathrooms or offices, neutral white light between 3,300 and 5,300 K supports clear visibility. Daylight white light above 5,300 K is particularly suitable for areas where focused work is required.
Track systems for ceiling lighting
A ceiling track lighting system is ideal for open-plan rooms or long hallways. You can use a single power connection and distribute the light exactly where it is needed.This solution is particularly practical when furniture, the dining table or work areas change. The individual lights can be realigned or supplemented without having to redesign the entire lighting concept.
Track lighting spotlights
Spotlights are a classic choice for track lighting systems when you want to direct light precisely. They can be flexibly adjusted, for example towards worktops, shelves or pictures.
Typical applications:
Kitchen: direct lighting for the worktop
Living room: accent lighting for furniture or decorative objects
Hallway: even illumination without dark areas
Pendant lights for track lighting systems
Pendant lights add comfortable, inviting lighting to a track system. They create a particularly pleasant atmosphere above a dining table.
Important measurements:
Distance from the tabletop: 60–70 cm
Length of the light: approximately 70–75% of the table length
For round tables: no more than 50% of the table diameter
