Rail system check
When purchasing 1, 2 or 3-circuit track systems, the right accessories are often missing - and this leads to returns, delays and unnecessary stress. So that you can realise your lighting project without any surprises, we have prepared everything for your project in our track system check.
Here you will find all the important components at a glance:
Which phase type do you need?
:format(jpeg) "1-phase rail system")
Ideal for small rooms and simple lighting solutions.
- Simple circuit
- Ideal for smaller installations
- No transformer required
:format(jpeg) "2-phase rail system")
Two separately switchable circuits offer more flexibility.
- Two circuits
- Attention: Accessories are often manufacturer-specific
:format(jpeg) "3-phase rail system")
Perfect for large or commercial areas with maximum control.
- Three circuits = maximum flexibility
- Often in the commercial sector
- Check compatibility (e.g. Global Trac / IVELA)
Which connectors does your system need?

:format(jpeg) "Feeder")
At least one feeder is required to supply the track system with power.
- The position of the feeder depends on the power connection in the room
- End feeder: Power supply at the beginning or end of the track.
- Centre feeder: Power supply in the centre of the system.

Connectors are available for every type of arrangement to join rails together.
- Straight (linear) connectors
- L-connector for 90 degree angles and corners (for internal and external edges)
- T-connector (branching in a third direction)
- X-connector for rails with cross shape
- Flexible connector (for variable angles)

The end caps ensure that the circuit is no longer openly accessible. They prevent a safety risk.
- Pay attention to the compatibility of the brand
- Depending on rail type
- Observe material compatibility for visual reasons

:format(jpeg) "Luminaire compatibility")
Luminaire compatibility
When using components of a rail system, it is important that they always come from the same manufacturer. However, some manufacturers also offer the option of using their tracks with luminaires from other brands. We have summarised which brands this applies to for you here.
