CHIB7538-P-7W 7W Magnetic Track Spotlight

What this fixture is for

The CHIB7538-P-7W is rated at 7W, delivering 650 Lm, on an OSRAM chip, with a colour rendering index of Ra90. Beam angle 10°/45°/90° gives a wide wash — use it to light a whole shelf or back panel evenly rather than to accent one object. It runs on 12V/24V. The body is machined from aluminium, so it dissipates heat inside a closed cabinet instead of cooking the merchandise.

Glare control for customer-facing cabinets

Glare at eye level is one of the most common complaints in showcase lighting: a bright raw LED source visible to browsing customers is uncomfortable and cheapens the display. The CHIB7538-P-7W uses a honeycomb anti-glare optic — the hex-cell lattice blocks off-axis light and lets only the aimed beam through, so the fixture stays visually quiet when viewed across the counter while the merchandise still receives full punch. For jewelry counters where customers lean in close, this is the difference between a display that invites attention and one that makes people squint.

Specifying it correctly

• Colour temperature: available in 3000K / 4000K / 6000K — 3000K for gold and warm wood, 4000K for steel, silver and watches, 6000K for diamonds, crystal and glass.
• Beam angle: 10°/45°/90°. Choose by object size, not by brightness; a beam that is too wide flattens the display and one that is too narrow leaves hot spots with dark gaps.
• Power: 12V/24V — low voltage, so the track is safe to touch inside a customer-reachable cabinet. Size the driver with headroom rather than running it at 100%.
• Finish: housing colour is customised on request, so the fixture can disappear into dark joinery or match a branded interior.
• Service life: 20000 hours
• Warranty: 3 years
• Certification: standard builds carry CE and RoHS. UL/ETL for North America and ENEC for EU tender work are quoted case by case — tell us the destination in the first email.

Questions buyers ask about dimming and drivers

Are these display case lights dimmable?

Dimming is decided by the driver, not the LED head itself. These heads run on low-voltage DC constant voltage, so if your project needs dimming you specify a dimmable driver matched to your control system (TRIAC/phase-cut, 0-10V, PWM or DALI) and ask for the driver’s dimming compatibility sheet before ordering. Our dimming guide compares the control methods.

What driver do I need for these heads?

Add up the rated wattage of all heads on the circuit, multiply by 1.25, and choose a driver rated at or above that figure – and keep one power feed to roughly 20 heads or fewer. The full method is in our driver selection guide.

Why do dimmed showcase lights sometimes flicker?

Almost always a dimmer-driver mismatch, or a driver running at or beyond its rating. Test at full brightness with the dimmer bypassed: if the flicker disappears, the dimmer and driver protocols are incompatible. The full 6-step diagnosis is in our flicker guide.

What warranty and after-sales support do you provide?

Every fixture carries a 3-year warranty covering both the LED head and the driver. Standard models use OSRAM LED chips with CRI 90+ as standard. If a model is ever discontinued, we give at least 2 weeks’ advance notice and recommend a drop-in replacement that fits the same track, and you can still place repeat orders for the original model during that window.

Which beam angle should I choose, and can it be changed?

Beam angle options for this model are 10°, 45° and 90°. As a rule of thumb: the narrowest angle for pinpoint highlights on jewellery and gemstones, the middle angle for general display pieces, and the widest angle for a broad wash across shelves. Tell us your cabinet type when ordering and we pre-fit the angle you need at no extra cost.

Can these heads run on DC 24V instead of DC 12V?

Yes – DC 24V is available on request. The standard system is DC 12V constant voltage; on longer track runs, 24V halves the current and reduces voltage drop, so more heads can share one power feed. Dimmable light-bar models in the same series (CHIA8428D / CHIA8426D) run natively on DC 24V. Confirm the voltage with us when ordering so the driver is matched correctly.
