First basics, tips, and planning steps.

The Sense System is a flexible 48V track lighting system that adapts to a wide range of architectural situations and lighting tasks. It is modular in structure, freely configurable, and combines precise light guidance with a clean, unobtrusive design. Whether wall-mounted, ceiling-integrated, suspended, recessed, or free-standing - the system follows the space, not the other way around.

Control is wireless via Casambi - through an app, with no need for additional control wiring. This keeps planning streamlined, installation simple, and the lighting easily adaptable.
In the following, we’ll walk through how to configure the system step by step - from the track to the finished lighting solution.

Wall, ceiling, pendant, recessed, single or floor-standing? 
Before choosing luminaires or controls, one key question comes first: Where should the lighting system run - and how visible should it be?

The Sense System offers six mounting types that can be combined depending on the space, its function, and the desired look.

Note: You can also combine different track types - for example, wall and ceiling tracks within the same space. Many 48V components are compatible with each other.

Whether as a clean line through the room or a custom lighting structure - the track layout follows your idea. The Sense System is modular and can be realized in straight lines, right angles, or free-form shapes.

Typical options include: Straight runs along walls or ceilings, angular layouts for living or work areas, circular runs (Rondo) as modern chandeliers or sculptural elements, free layouts for creative light guidance, or 3D structures using Freestyler - anything is possible. The system can be precisely adapted to the room and its purpose - both functionally and aesthetically.

Tip: Sketch out where light is needed - this helps when planning track runs, junctions, and power feeds. The system is based on modules, not standard solutions.

Tracks, luminaires, and accessories aren´t just functional elements - they’re part of the architecture. That´s why Buschfeld offers a selection of high-quality standard finishes: black, white, alumatt, and bronze are available for all visible components. For luminaire shades, burnished brass is also an option.

For special requirements, custom RAL or NCS colours can be realised. Even fully bespoke finishes - such as special anodised tones or material coatings - are possible, but should be planned early on with regard to production, lead times, and coordination.

Good to know: The choice of colour and finish doesn’t only affect aesthetics - it also influences how prominently the system appears in the room, or how subtly it blends in.

Every luminaire serves a purpose - that´s why good lighting starts with the right choice. The Sense System offers a wide variety of luminaires that differ in form, light effect, and mounting type - making them highly adaptable to specific needs.

Control is handled via Casambi as standard: wirelessly through an app, with no additional control wiring. Scenes, groups, and schedules can be configured individually - simple, flexible, and adjustable at any time.

Each luminaire is built with its function in mind: from spotlights for accent lighting and wallwashers, to linear lighting for even illumination, or pendant luminaires for tables and general lighting. Indirect lighting, floor lamps, and custom solutions can also be seamlessly integrated - all tailored to the specific task within the space.

The Sense System operates on 48 V DC - so a suitable power supply unit is essential to power the lighting system. Buschfeld distinguishes between visible units in design housings and concealed units for built-in installation. Visible units can be mounted directly onto the track, used as standalone devices, or fixed to walls or ceilings. Concealed units are designed for drywall integration and require more planning time, as they are invisibly embedded into the architecture. The appropriate unit size depends on the number and wattage of luminaires in use - the more luminaires, the higher the power class required. Selection is based on specification tables and planning tools.
