Infographic: What is 1-phase track lighting?

1-phase track lighting is a system with a power track onto which you can freely click, slide and aim LED track spotlights. The track has a single electrical circuit, so all spotlights on the same track switch on and off together. It is a flexible solution for shops, showrooms, hospitality, offices and homes.

  • Live end (power feed): connects the track to the mains.
  • Connectors: straight, corner, T, cross or flexible, to join tracks.
