25mm Magnetic Track Lighting in Lebanon: Complete 48V System Guide (Surface & Recessed)
Share
The Luminaria 25mm magnetic track system is a 48V architectural lighting system for ceilings and walls. Spots, linear lights, dot lights, pendants and even Bluetooth speakers click onto the track by magnet, with no tools and no rewiring, and can be moved, swapped or added at any time. It is the most flexible way to light a modern home, shop, restaurant or office in Lebanon, and it is our main magnetic system for full-room ceiling lighting.
This guide covers how the 25mm system works, surface vs. recessed installation, every fixture type in the range, how to size the power supply, dimming and smart control options, and how it compares with our 5mm and 1010 magnetic systems.
What Is a Magnetic Track Light?
A magnetic track light is a low-voltage aluminum rail that carries power along its whole length. Light fixtures attach to the rail with built-in magnets and draw power through contact strips inside the track. Because nothing is screwed or wired individually, you can place a spotlight exactly where you need it today and move it tomorrow, whether you rearrange furniture, change a shop display or hang new artwork.
The Luminaria 25mm system runs on 48V DC. That low voltage makes it safe to handle, and it supports long runs with many fixtures from a single power supply.
Surface (Apparent) vs. Recessed Installation
The 25mm track comes in two versions, both available in 1m, 2m and 3m lengths and both fully compatible with every fixture in the range.
| Surface / Apparent | Recessed / Built-In | |
|---|---|---|
| Mounting | Screwed directly onto the ceiling or wall | Set into a gypsum false ceiling, flush with the surface |
| Look | Visible, clean architectural line | Seamless, the track almost disappears |
| Best for | Renovations, concrete ceilings, apartments without a false ceiling | New builds, full renovations, minimalist interiors |
| When to decide | Any time, even after finishing | Before the gypsum ceiling is closed |

Luminaria Tip: If you are renovating in Lebanon and your contractor is building a gypsum ceiling, plan the recessed track with them at the design stage. It is the cleanest result, and it is very hard to add later.
The 25mm Fixture Range
All fixtures use premium OSRAM LED chips with CRI above 90 for natural, accurate color. Most are available in 3000K (warm), 4000K (neutral) and 6000K (cool). Everything clicks onto the same track, so you can mix types freely on one line.
Magnetic Spot Lights
Adjustable spotlights for accent lighting, artwork, kitchen islands, product displays and wall washing. Available in 12W and 18W, with the 18W offering 24° or 36° beam options.
Magnetic Linear Lights
Diffused linear bars that give soft, even general lighting, the backbone of most living rooms, offices and corridors. Available in 12W (30cm), 24W (60cm) and 30W (90cm).
Magnetic Directional Linear Lights
Linear lights whose angle can be adjusted, ideal for washing a wall, lighting shelving or directing light toward a counter. Available in 6W, 12W and 24W.
Magnetic Dots Lights
A row of small recessed LED dots in one bar, giving a refined, low-glare look that is very popular in modern Lebanese interiors, retail and hospitality. Available in 6W, 12W, 18W, 24W (450mm) and 36W (640mm). Adjustable 6W and 12W directional dots are also available.
Magnetic Suspended Lamp
The 7W suspended lamp hangs from the track on a cable, bringing light down over dining tables, kitchen islands, bars and reception desks, all without a separate ceiling point.
Magnetic Bluetooth Speaker
The 25mm Bluetooth speaker clicks onto the track like a light and is powered by it. It delivers 10W of audio, and with Host/Slave mode you can link several speakers for synced sound across a room, shop or restaurant, with no extra wiring and no speakers on the wall.
Connectors and Power Feeders
- Power feeder: brings power from the supply into the track.
- Straight connector: joins two tracks into a longer run.
- Flexible connector: creates corners and angles, so the track can follow the shape of the room.
How to Size the Power Supply
The 25mm system uses 48V power supplies in 100W, 150W and 200W.
- Add up the wattage of every fixture on the track.
- Add about 20% headroom so the power supply never runs at its limit.
- Choose the power supply that covers that total.
Example: 4 × 12W spots + 2 × 24W linear lights + 1 × 10W speaker = 106W. With 20% headroom, that is about 127W, so a 150W power supply is the right choice.
Luminaria Tip: Leaving headroom also lets you add a fixture later without changing the power supply, which is one of the main advantages of magnetic track.
Dimming and Smart Control
With the matching power supply or controller, the 25mm system supports:
- DALI, for professional commercial and hotel projects
- 0–10V dimming
- KNX building automation
- Tuya app smart control from your phone
- TRIAC dimming with a standard wall dimmer

25mm vs. 5mm vs. 1010: Which Magnetic System Do You Need?
| System | Best For |
|---|---|
| 25mm magnetic track (48V) | Full-room ceiling lighting in homes, shops, restaurants, offices and hotels. The widest fixture range, highest output, pendants and speakers. |
| 5mm mini magnetic track (48V) | Ultra-slim, minimal lines where the track should be nearly invisible, with smaller, lower-wattage fixtures. |
| Magnetic 1010 | Cabinets, wardrobes, shelving and display furniture. See our Magnetic 1010 guide. |
Where to Use 25mm Magnetic Track Lighting
- Living rooms: linear lights for general light, spots on artwork and features.
- Kitchens: dots or linear over counters, a suspended lamp over the island.
- Retail shops and showrooms: re-aim spots every time the display changes.
- Restaurants and cafés: dimmable ambience, pendants over tables, built-in background music.
- Offices: even, glare-controlled linear lighting.
- Hotels and hospitality: DALI or KNX integration for scene control.
- Galleries and exhibitions: high-CRI spots that move with every new show.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install 25mm magnetic track without a false ceiling?
Yes. The surface (apparent) version mounts directly onto concrete or any existing ceiling, which makes it ideal for renovations in Lebanese apartments.
Can I add or move lights after installation?
Yes. That is the main advantage. Fixtures click on and off by magnet anywhere along the track, as long as the total wattage stays within your power supply's capacity.
Is 48V magnetic track safe?
Yes. 48V DC is a low, safe voltage for touching and repositioning fixtures. The power supply converts mains power and is installed by an electrician.
What is the warranty?
Luminaria magnetic track systems come with a 2-year warranty.
Are 25mm fixtures compatible with the 5mm or 1010 systems?
No. Each system uses its own track and fixtures. Choose the system first, then build the fixture layout within it.
