LED Trackspots
LED Trackspots can directly replace the existing conventional CDM/HCI fixtures (35W - 70W). Due to their placing and setting options, the trackspots are very flexible. For example, the LED trackspots by Budgetlight can be tilted 90 degrees and turned 355 degrees. This way they can be used for both general and spotlighting. The LED trackspots are particularly suitable for use in the supermarket, but also in shops and showrooms. All in all, the LED rail spots can be used flexibly and can be used in a wide variety of situations!

How do LED track spots work?
A track light system consists of a (3-phase) voltage rail fixed to a ceiling, to which several track spots can be connected. In order for the lighting to work, a power connector (direct. flexible, angle etc.) is needed, which can be installed at the end of the system. If you want to hang the track spots, then you also need track spot accessories, such as metal clips and rods/cables.
How do I install fixtures on an LED track system?
You slide the LED track spot(s) onto the voltage rail. You then slide the fixture into the right place. One advantage is that you can adjust the beam direction of the connected track spotlights as you wish or as you see fit, allowing you to place certain products or objects in the spotlight. You can opt for a straight line. By placing corners on the track, you can turn the track system into a rectangle or square.
Why are LED track spots very suitable as shop lighting and supermarket lighting?
Because track spotlights have a very high colour rendering; 90-99 Ra being the highest. This ensures that the light displays colours as naturally as possible. And that's important when, for example, customers see that vegetables and fruit look good. The same goes for clothing. Or what about paintings/art in a museum? A high colour rendering allows visitors to clearly see all the details of a painting.
Is it possible to fit a 1-phase track spot on a 3-phase track system?
No, this is not possible, because a 1 phase track spotlight does not have the right connection for the 3-phase track. 3-phase tracks work with 3-phase wires (L1, L2, L3), each of which you can combine separately with the neutral wire (N). This allows you to create three different circuits on the rail, each of which you can control separately.
How many metres should there be between each fixture for the best result?
This depends mainly on the number of lumens per track spotlight. For fixtures that have more than 1200 lumens, we recommend using three m2 per spotlight. And for fixtures with more than 1800 lumens, we recommend using four m2 per spotlight. In terms of the height of the rail, a height between 2.50 and 3 metres is perfect.
What is the advantage of dimmable LED track lighting?
By choosing dimmable LED track spotlight you will save even more on energy costs than normally, because the light of the track spot(s) does not have to be on at full intensity. Furthermore, by dimming the track spotlights can always provide the desired effect.
Which colours can I choose from?
The track spotlights in our shop are available in the colours black, white and grey. Look carefully at the colours and contrast in the room where you want to place the lighting. If there are a lot of white walls, then white LED track spotlights fit best. If the room is quite dark, then a black or grey LED track spot is more suitable.
How can I check whether an LED track fixture has the right beam angle?
You can easily check this by reading the specifications of the product and then look for beam angle (degrees). Do you need help choosing the right beam angle? Then we can help you. Click here for our information page about beam angles.
