Before we choose the LED track lighting, we need to know which track rail we will use. The track rail determines where track lighting is used. For example, a high-voltage track rail (220-240V AC) is suitable for museums, art galleries, etc.
Low-voltage track rail (12V / 24V ) is suitable for spaces such as miniature windows and display cabinets, and curved track rails are ideal for special occasions that require large-angle bending.
There are many different types of track light rail, which can be categorized in various ways. In general, it is more straightforward to organize them by voltage. So, we can classify track rails into two main categories: high-voltage and low-voltage.
It has a neutral and live wire, not an earth wire.
It has a live wire, a neutral wire, and an earth wire. It is the most common type of wire in commercial lighting and has been used for many years, from the era of metal halide lamps to the current era of LED lighting. 
It has three live wires and one neutral wire, so it can be composed of multiple circuits to meet the requirements of group control of luminaires on a single track. This is also the more commonly used track configuration for museums, art galleries, and commercial spaces.
There are surface mounting types and embedded mounting types. With the 4-wire, 3-circuit track, it is possible to switch between different effects by setting different luminaires on the same track on different circuits.
Rarely used, 3-circuit track hybrid system tracks, just found from ERCO. The fifth wire of the five-wire guide is slightly thinner and is the protective earth wire. The remaining four thick wires can be connected to three circuits or only one circuit + DALI signal line.
The six-wire guide rail's four thick wires are used for three circuits, and the two thin wires are DALI signal lines. It is mainly used for high-end museums and art galleries and can meet circuit division and system control requirements.

The track's unique modelling and craftsmanship suit some special modelling requirements, such as curved bending occasions.
When only one track light is needed in a particular area, and the position does not need to be adjusted frequently, these small independent tracks can allow the fixtures to be surface mounted, avoiding the wastefulness and unattractiveness of using one track for one light.
It is small and generally used in display spaces such as miniature windows and showcases. It is usually connected to 12V or 24V voltage. This design aims to facilitate the flexible connection of multiple lamps on one track and facilitate loop control. Mini tracks are mostly installed where people can touch them, and low voltage is also for safety considerations.
Due to its ease of installation, matching lamps and lanterns modularity, and other features and advantages, magnetic tracks are very popular with designers in high-end offices, commercial clubs, and other places. The main design principle of magnetic tracks is to use the positive and negative magnetic poles to fix the track and lamps.

We designed the track layout for many track light rails to be tailored to their needs.
Commercial shops are mainly set up in rows according to the shelves. Considering the flexibility of temporary displays, the ceiling will set up more tracks for museums, art galleries, etc.
Because of its flexible applications, various installation methods are available: hanging, surface mounting, embedding, and hiding in slots.
Conclusion
Track lighting is suitable for a variety of scenes, such as commercial, family, and office spaces. It is a good choice for designers. Topsun Lighting has many different kinds of LED lights and has many successful project cases. It has rich experience and high customer trust.
