Buy enough rails of the right length. Plan T, X and corner connectors. Decide between end feed-in or centre feed-in. Install a switch component for separate control of individual lighting areas by remote control.
No, track systems are not the easiest way to illuminate a living space. But the most individual type of lighting and if you know your way around a bit and don't shy away from a ladder, folding rule, pencil and drill, you can easily have a lot of fun planning and installing it. This guide is intended to point you in the right direction.
The reward for your efforts: lighting that ...
Rail systems are used much more frequently in the commercial sector. Because here "complex" is rather standard. In shops, for example, the spotlights, spotlights and pendants, which can be repositioned flexibly at any time, are used to illuminate the changing product range in museums.
For all private and commercial applications, it is the high flexibility of the rail system (even after installation) that makes the difference.
You can now switch any smart home light on and off, change the light colour, dim it and customise the light overall using a remote control or smartphone.
And if track systems are the most flexible of all lighting systems, it should work here too, right?
Correct. Using the URail track system from Paulmann as an example, all you need is the remote control that goes with the system and a switch component upstream of a specific section of the track system. The section behind it can then be controlled by remote control. Of course, you can also place the switch at the beginning of the entire system, in which case the whole system can be operated at the touch of a button.
Compatible lights must be attached to a track system - that much is clear! However, you can find out which lights are compatible with which in our categories conveniently sorted by system. The URail system from Paulmann, for example, can be fitted with spots, pendant luminaires, flat light panels, fabric shade pendant luminaires, downlights and more.
You may already notice how your creativity is stimulated. Imagine, for example, a spotlight that specifically illuminates your armchair in a corner of the room. A small pendant light for the side table next to it, where you place your coffee. Several downlights that provide basic brightness in the room.
For all these variations, you would normally need several power connections on the ceiling and wall. With a rail system, however, you only need one single power connection for all this.
Rail systems can be installed with comparatively little effort and offer a high degree of adaptability - ideal for rented flats or changing living situations. In many cases, a single power outlet is sufficient to supply the entire system. The luminaires can be freely positioned, replaced or added to along the track. This creates a flexible lighting concept that can be extended and reorganised at any time - without the need for costly conversion work. The strength of a modular lighting system is particularly evident when redesigning rooms or changing furnishings.
Whether minimalist in black, elegant in grey or timeless in white - light track systems are available in various colours and materials. Modern pendant lights, spotlights or wall lights can be stylishly combined to create a harmonious overall look. In this way, the lighting becomes a design element that emphasises the style of living. Track systems can also be perfectly combined with indirect light sources such as LED strips or wallwashers. The result is a multi-dimensional lighting concept that takes both functional and atmospheric aspects into account.
Track system lamps** are also an ideal solution for large rooms. The expandability of the tracks means that even extensive areas can be evenly illuminated. Especially in living rooms, open-plan kitchens or loft apartments, they offer a sophisticated lighting solution that combines aesthetics and functionality.
