Single phase track light

What is a 1-phase track light system?

A 1-phase track light system is the foundation of a flexible lighting system where all spotlights or fixtures are controlled via a single power circuit. This means: one switch, one dimmer, and a clear system that you can easily assemble and install yourself. Thanks to its compact and sleek design, the 1-phase track light system fits into almost any space, from a modern living room to a smaller shop or office.

Who is the 1-phase track light system suitable for?

The 1-phase track light system is the most popular solution when you want flexible ceiling lighting that you switch or dim as a whole. You don't have to account for multiple light groups, which makes the system ideal for uncluttered spaces where one lighting scene is sufficient. The system is suitable for both private and business users and installers.

Typical applications

• Living room, kitchen, hallway or bedroom
• Smaller shops, boutiques and clothing stores
• Office spaces with one lighting zone
• Showrooms and exhibition spaces with a fixed layout
• Restaurants and catering establishments with one lighting ambiance

Do you have a larger space or do you want to control zones independently? Then check out our range of 3-phase track light systems where you can divide the lighting into three separate groups.

Surface-mounted or recessed: what suits your situation?

A 1-phase track light system is available in surface-mounted or recessed versions. The surface-mounted track is attached directly to the ceiling and can be quickly installed on an existing light point. The recessed track is integrated into the ceiling for a sleek, almost invisible finish. Recessed is the preferred choice for renovations or new builds where the ceiling can be prepared.

Colour and length: how to assemble the right track

The 1-phase track light system is available in black and white. The 1-phase black track light system fits perfectly with modern, industrial or dark interiors. The white version seamlessly matches sleek, bright spaces. Standard lengths are 1 meter, 1.5 meters, 2 meters and 3 meters. With L-, T- and X-connectors, you can combine multiple tracks to create the desired setup.

Important: tracks and track spotlights are not always interchangeable between brands. When assembling your LED Track Lighting, always choose tracks, spotlights and accessories from the same brand or product line to ensure a good fit and stable connection.

Which accessories do you need?

A complete 1-phase track system consists of more than just the track. Consider the following components:

• Starter feed (power connector): supplies power to the track. To be mounted on the left or right at the beginning of the track.
• End cap: safely closes off the end of the track.
• Connectors: L-shaped for corners, T-shaped for a branch, X-shaped for a cross. With these, you can create any desired setup.
• Suspension system: useful when you want to attach the track at a distance from the ceiling, for example, for a lower light line.
• Track spotlights or fixtures: the spotlights that you click into the track, slide and aim as desired.

For most tracks, the starter feed including end cap is included. Check the product description before ordering separate accessories.

1-phase or 3-phase: what's the difference?

The main difference lies in the switching options. With a 1-phase track light system, you control all connected fixtures simultaneously: everything turns on, off, or dims together. With a 3-phase track light system, you divide the lighting into three independent groups, each with its own switch or dimmer. This offers more flexibility in larger spaces or with changing light scenes. The 1-phase track has a slimmer design, making it more compact and less conspicuous.

Frequently asked questions about 1-phase track light systems

What is the difference between a 1-phase and a 3-phase track light system?

With a 1-phase track light system, all connected fixtures are controlled via a single power circuit. You switch everything on or off simultaneously. With a 3-phase track light system, you can divide the lighting into three independent groups, each with its own switch or dimmer. A 1-phase track is slimmer and more compact in design and generally a simpler choice for homes or smaller spaces.

Can I dim a 1-phase track light system?

Yes, dimming is possible provided that the track spotlights or fixtures used are dimmable and you use a suitable LED dimmer. Always check whether the dimmer is compatible with LED lighting. Often it is also possible to replace the existing wall switch with a built-in dimmer.

Which accessories do I need to assemble a 1-phase track system?

At a minimum, you need: a track light system, a starter feed (power connector) to connect the track to the light point, and an end cap to close off the track. For multiple tracks or a specific setup (corner, cross, or branch), add the corresponding L-, T-, or X-connectors. Track spotlights and an optional suspension system are available separately. For most tracks, the starter feed including end cap is supplied.

Are tracks from different brands compatible with each other?

Not always. Tracks, track spotlights, and accessories are in most cases only compatible within the same brand or product line. Always ensure that tracks and spotlights are from the same system to avoid problems with fit and electrical connection.

What is the maximum length of a 1-phase track system?

The maximum length depends on the maximum permissible power of the track and the circuit it is connected to. In most cases, you can connect multiple tracks with connectors to create longer light lines. Consult the product specifications or contact us for advice on your specific situation.
