Zodiac 48V Track | Linear Lights | 300mm & 600mm

Yes, it's one of the strongest arguments for specifying a track system over fixed wired fittings in an office environment. Because the Zodiac linear lights clip directly onto the 48V track, their position can be adjusted along the run without any electrical work. For open-plan offices where desk layouts change, or for co-working and multi-use spaces where the lighting needs to adapt to different configurations, that repositionability has real operational value over the lifetime of the installation. The track itself is also available in direct, direct/indirect, so the infrastructure can be designed to suit the ceiling and the aesthetic of the space while still giving the same positional flexibility to every fitting mounted on it.

48V DC is a low voltage system, which has several practical advantages over a mains voltage installation. The most significant is safety: 48V sits below the 50V threshold at which electrical contact becomes a serious shock risk, which reduces the classification of the installation in terms of electrical hazard and simplifies compliance in certain environments. Low voltage DC systems also experience fewer conversion losses between the driver and the light source, which contributes to overall system efficiency. Additionally, DC power at 48V is compatible with modern power infrastructure including PoE (Power over Ethernet) systems and battery backup solutions, which is increasingly relevant in smart office environments. The trade-off is that a remote constant voltage driver is required to step down from 240V mains, but this is a standard part of any Zodiac system installation.

Yes, this is one of the core advantages of the Zodiac system. Because all Zodiac luminaires share the same 48V track infrastructure, linear lights, spotlights, and drop pendants can all be mounted on the same track run and powered from the same driver. This makes it straightforward to combine ambient linear light output with directional spot accent lighting within a single ceiling installation, without the need for separate wiring circuits for each luminaire type. For a commercial office or reception area where both general illumination and feature or task accent lighting are required, a mixed Zodiac installation handles both from one clean, minimal track.
