Track lighting system in the interior

Every year there are more and more new interior design ideas, so the interior decoration is becoming more and more complex. And standard lighting fixtures often simply do not fit into the general atmosphere, which forces one to look for other options. Due to this, a track lighting system appeared, which combined in itself lamps, busbars and other elements.

The main purpose and application

Initially, track lighting systems were made for shopping centers. They helped to attract the attention of potential buyers to a particular store. Products are often shifted from place to place, so it is necessary to use lamps with an adjustable angle of illumination.

Over time, the designers decided to use this type of lighting in city apartments so that residents could change the direction of the light rays if they wanted to.

Pendant lights help hide the flaws and focus on the merits of the room. It was with their help that it became possible to visually change the parameters of a room and paint it in different colors.

Track lighting devices are used in many areas, for example, in restaurants, cafes and bars. They help to highlight a specific area.to show its relevance at the moment. Such lamps are necessary for exhibition halls and museums.

The system itself consists of a busbar, suspension elements, lamps, fittings and conductors. Despite the seeming complexity of the system, tire devices are easy to use, and therefore can be installed not only indoors, but also on the street.

Their installation does not require much experience, and changing the angle of illumination takes almost no time.

Design features of busbar and its types

Tracking systems have a solid and flexible design, so they can be mounted on any surface and change their configuration to get the best angle of illumination. The main feature of the design is in the light sources that are mobile and, if desired, you can move them from one phase to another.At the same time in the same busbar you can use different fixtures with any shapes and power.

The main advantage of the track lies in its ability to illuminate the room, even if one of the lamps fails.

After all, all the bulbs work independently of each other. Track busbar can be distinguished by its shape, method of installation and the number of phases. The number of copper busbars inside the track depends on its phase. One tire has one phrase, two tires - two phases, and three tires - three phases.

The number of phases affects the ability of the light bulbs to work independently of each other, that is, the more phases, the more lamps, and more operating possibilities.

A special advantage has a three-phase track, which can be connected to the mains at a voltage of 380 V in order to equally distribute the load across the phrases.

By way of mounting, track tires can be:

  • External and installed in a vertical or horizontal position with fasteners or suspension cables.
  • Embedded and fastened under the working area to attract attention.

The busbar box can have a round or square section.If you purchase a track to order, then you can wish for a product of any design with any number of faces. From external differences, the operation of the device will not change.
