3 min Time to read

"They have long been standard in the commercial sector and are used regularly: track lighting systems. But they are just as suitable for private rooms. In this article, we present the four biggest advantages of this type of lighting so that you can make the most of the benefits of track system lighting."
Advantage 1: Only one power connection required for several luminaires.
Probably the biggest advantage that a lamp track system offered by a track lighting system, and usually the reason for choosing a track system, is the ability to supply several luminaires with power from a single connection on the ceiling.
One complex lighting with different lighting areas is possible even with just one diffuser. You are no longer forced to resort to a multi-flame ceiling lamp with rotatable spotlights, which then supply the respective areas in the room with light, but can also opt for one LED track system instead.
This can then be used to realize a wide variety of lighting requirements and can be used for everything from pendant luminaires to LED spots can be used to make your rooms even more homely.
Advantage 2: Individual and flexible lighting.
As far as the latter is concerned, we have already arrived at the second advantage of track systems for lighting: individual and flexible lighting. On the one hand a wide variety of luminaires can be integrated can be integrated, such as pendant luminaires above the dining or coffee table and additional spotlights for wall lighting, and the best thing is that this flexibility is retained even after installation, as additional lamps can be attached to the track at any time - even non-system luminaires thanks to luminaire adapters.
In addition, the renowned SLV track system can be customized in terms of colour design and the material used - so you can create your very own unique lighting!
Thanks to the 3-phase track, such an SLV track system is also suitable for implementation of different lighting scenes because each phase can be switched or dimmed individually. In contrast to track systems with only one phase, with 2-phase or 3-phase busbars even more flexible.
For example, if there are a total of six luminaires on the track with two on the first phase and four on the second phase, not all the lamps always have to light up at the same time, but only the four on the second phase can be switched on.
Advantage 3: Simple extension of the track systems.
Particularly with high-voltage track systems with 230 volts, you can usually add more lamps without any problems, as these do not have a minimum load and so the lamp track system is not overloaded. With low-voltage systems with 12 volts, however, care must be taken to ensure that the transformer is loaded correctly.
But not only the number of luminaires in the living room can also be easily expanded without an additional power outlet but also the LED track system itself. With the countless accessories available in the skapetze® online store you can add more light tracks at any time.
Regardless of whether you simply want a straight extension, another track around a corner or want to attach it to the existing track system lighting at any angle - anything is possible with the right connector! A track lighting system in the living room is therefore perfect for anyone who likes to redesign their rooms.
This simple and flexible extension provides a great advantage, especially when lighting very angled rooms. because even hard-to-reach corners of your rooms can be illuminated.
