Description
A slim black bar of light for the Magneto system, this one runs 300mm along the track and pushes its 8W of warm 2700K LED through a frosted diffuser rather than a lens. The result is a broad, even wash with no hot spot and no bright dot of source to catch the eye. It is Triac dimmable, so it takes its levels from a compatible wall dimmer, and the driver sits inside the head.
We use linear heads like this where a spotlight would be too pointed: along a kitchen worktop, over an island, above a run of open shelves, or down the centre of a hallway ceiling. Because the light is diffused it sits comfortably in rooms where people work at a surface, and the warm tone keeps timber, brick and painted plaster looking soft rather than clinical. Several can be spaced along the same track and dimmed together as a single run, which suits open-plan kitchens and studies where the mood shifts through the day. It is meant for dry rooms indoors, not covered porches or anywhere near a shower.
The housing is finished in matt black, and the narrow profile keeps the shadow line tight so the head reads as part of the track rather than an object sitting on it. Dust settles on the diffuser face and takes the edge off the output, so run a dry microfibre cloth along its length every few months, with the power off and the head cool to the touch. It carries a three year warranty. We stock the rest of the Magneto range beside it: shallow, deep and recessed track, corner joints for right-angle and wall-to-wall turns, end caps, and the Triac controller that dims a whole system from a single point. The LED is integral, so there is nothing to slot in.

Frequently Asked
Does it come with a dimmer?
No. It dims on a Triac dimmer, which is bought separately. The Magneto range includes a Triac and push-switch controller rated up to 720W, with one controller per system.
How much light does it put out?
Around 640 lumens from 8W, at 2700K warm white, spread wide and softened by the diffuser rather than focused into a beam.
What size is the head?
It is 300mm long, 23mm wide and 43mm deep, and weighs 0.24kg.
Can I use more than one on a run of track?
Yes. Space them along the track to suit the surface below, and they will dim together from the same controller.
Is the LED replaceable?
No, it is integral to the head, with an average life of 30,000 hours. The whole head is changed at the end of its life.
How should I clean it?
A dry microfibre cloth along the diffuser is enough. Avoid sprays and solvents, which can cloud the diffuser face and mark the black finish.
