Singapore homes are getting smarter, smaller, and better-designed — but one thing has not kept up: the humble wall socket. Fixed in position, limited in number, and frankly an eyesore on a feature wall, traditional power points are the weak link in any modern HDB or condo interior.
Enter the power track system — a modular, no-rewiring solution that lets you place and move your power sockets anywhere along a sleek rail. Whether you are outfitting a new kitchen, setting up a home gallery, or just tired of extension cords snaking across your living room floor, a power track from Regal Lighting is the upgrade your home has been waiting for.
1. What Is a Power Track System?
Ozo Power Track (Recessed Mounted) in White — flush-finish flexible power system.
A power track system (also called a track socket or modular power rail) is a fixed-length electrical rail that connects to your mains supply once — and then accepts sliding adaptors anywhere along its length. Instead of rewiring a new wall socket every time your furniture changes, you simply slide an adaptor to wherever you need power.
Think of it like a track lighting system, but for electricity instead of light. The rail is the backbone; the adaptors are the individual power points. You can add, remove, and reposition them in seconds — no tools, no electrician, no wall damage.
How It Works
- The power track rail is installed along your wall, backsplash, desk, or under-cabinet surface — either recessed flush into the wall or mounted on top of the surface.
- Each adaptor connects to the track via an Axis Twist mechanism — insert, twist to lock, and you have a live power socket.
- The Align Safe Mechanism ensures adaptors only make live contact when properly seated — preventing accidental arcing or short circuits.
- A built-in Protection Guard keeps the track safe when no adaptor is inserted.
2. Power Track vs Traditional Wall Socket: Head-to-Head
Here is how the Ozo Power Track stacks up against conventional fixed wall sockets across every factor that matters for Singapore homes:
| Feature | Ozo Power Track | Traditional Wall Socket |
|---|---|---|
| Socket Flexibility | Move adaptor anywhere along the track | Fixed position — cannot move |
| Rewiring Required | No — plug & slide adaptors | Yes — electrician needed |
| No. of Sockets | Up to 13 per track (1000mm) | Typically 1–2 per point |
| Aesthetics | Sleek flush or surface-mount finish | Bulky switch plate on wall |
| Colours Available | White, Black, Space Grey, Silver | White only (standard) |
| Rated Load | 32A / 8000W per track | 13A / 3000W per socket |
| Warranty | 10-year local warranty | Varies — typically 1 year |
| Approx. Cost (SGD) | S$100 – S$250 per track | S$50 – S$150 per point (incl. rewiring) |
3. Key Benefits for Singapore Homes
No Rewiring — No Mess
The single biggest advantage of a power track system in Singapore is the elimination of hacking and rewiring. Traditional wall sockets require an electrician to cut into the wall, run cables, and patch the plasterwork — a process that costs money, creates dust, and is permanent. With a power track, one installation point powers the entire rail. Rearrange your appliances tomorrow; the sockets move with you.
Clean, Modern Aesthetics
Ozo Power Track (Surface Mounted) in Black — available in 4 colours at Regal Lighting
The Ozo Power Track is available in White, Black, Space Grey, and Silver — designed to complement both minimalist and contemporary Singapore interiors. The recessed model sits completely flush with your wall or counter, making it virtually invisible when adaptors are removed. No more unsightly switch plates cluttering your feature wall or kitchen backsplash.
Scale Up Without Limits
A 1000mm track holds up to 13 adaptors. A 400mm track fits 4. You choose the length that suits your space, and if your needs change, you choose a different length next time — without touching the electrical infrastructure behind the wall. This scalability is something no fixed socket arrangement can match.
10-Year Local Warranty
Every Ozo Power Track carries a 10-year local warranty — significantly longer than the 1-year coverage typical of standard wall sockets. Built to handle a rated load of 32A (8000W), the track can comfortably power any combination of kitchen appliances, AV equipment, or home office devices simultaneously.
4. Best Rooms to Install a Power Track in Your Singapore HDB or Condo
The power track system is versatile enough for every room in your home. Here is a practical room-by-room guide:
Kitchen — The Power-Hungry Hub
Singapore kitchens are compact and appliance-dense — rice cooker, air fryer, electric kettle, blender, toaster oven, and more. A 600–800mm power track along the backsplash puts power exactly where each appliance sits, with room to slide adaptors when you rearrange your counter layout. The recessed model sits flush behind the tile line for a seamless, easy-to-clean finish that meets HDB kitchen guidelines.
Living Room — Tame the Cable Jungle
Behind every TV console lies a nest of cables. A 1000mm recessed power track installed at console height eliminates the need for extension cords, gives you up to 13 power points in a single strip, and keeps the wall clean. Add or remove adaptors as your AV setup evolves — soundbar today, projector tomorrow, gaming console next year.
Home Office / Study — Flexible Desk Power
Working from home in Singapore means powering a monitor, laptop dock, desk lamp, phone charger, and more — often in a small bedroom study nook. A 600mm surface-mounted track above or behind the desk can be repositioned as your setup changes, and adaptors slide to wherever each device needs to be.
Art Gallery Wall / Feature Wall
Displaying artwork or shelving across a feature wall? A discreet 400–600mm power track along the picture rail zone powers track lighting adaptors without exposed wiring. Reposition lights to spotlight new pieces without touching an electrician. This is the use case that has made power tracks a staple in Singapore galleries and high-end condos alike.
Bedroom — Clean Bedside Power
Replace two bulky bedside sockets with a sleek 400–500mm recessed track that holds 4–5 adaptors. Phone charger, bedside lamp, CPAP machine, and tablet — all powered from a single flush rail that disappears behind your nightstand.
5. Where to Install Power Track in Your HDB — Quick Reference
Use this table to plan your installation by room:
| Room | Recommended Size | Mount Type | Why |

Note: All Ozo Power Track models are suitable for installation by a licensed electrician in HDB flats. The recessed model requires a cut-out of Width 90mm × Depth 20mm × (chosen length − 20mm). The surface-mounted model requires no wall cutting — it mounts directly onto any flat surface.
6. Ozo Power Track Range at Regal Lighting — Our Full Lineup
The Ozo Power Track range available at Regal Lighting covers every installation scenario, in four colours and five sizes. Here is what is available:
Option 1: Ozo Power Track (Recessed Mounted)

S$100 – S$250 Sizes: 400 / 500 / 600 / 800 / 1000mm | Colours: White, Black, Space Grey, Silver
|
Why choose recessed: The flush finish makes this the premium choice for any surface where aesthetics matter — kitchen backsplashes, feature walls, and bedroom installations. Once installed, only the adaptors are visible; the track itself disappears into the surface.
Option 2: Ozo Power Track (Surface Mounted)

Ozo Power Track — Surface Mounted
S$100 – S$250 Sizes: 400 / 500 / 600 / 800 / 1000mm | Colours: White, Black, Space Grey, Silver
|
Why choose surface-mounted: Zero wall damage makes this the go-to for renters, home offices, and any location where drilling is not an option. The slim 20mm profile keeps it visually unobtrusive even when mounted on top of a surface.
Option 3: Ozo Power Track Adaptor — S$40
The Ozo Power Track Adaptor is the individual power socket unit that slides into any Ozo track. Available separately so you can start with fewer sockets and add more as needed — no rewiring, just slide in and twist. Priced at S$40 each, it is the most cost-effective way to expand your power access over time.
7. Real-Life Scenario: The Kitchen Reno That Saved S$800
“When we renovated our 4-room HDB in Bishan last year, our contractor quoted us S$1,200 to hack the kitchen wall and install four new power points behind the counter,” recalls James, a 38-year-old marketing manager. “My interior designer suggested a power track instead. We installed a 1000mm Ozo recessed track for S$250, added six adaptors, and had more sockets than we would have gotten from the hack job — at a fraction of the cost. Best part? When we bought a new air fryer and needed to shift things around, I just slid the adaptor. Done in ten seconds.”
James’s experience reflects a growing trend among Singapore homeowners who are choosing flexible power track systems over costly and permanent electrical hacking — particularly during BTO renovation and condo remodelling projects.
8. Is a Power Track Right for Your Home?
Ask yourself:
- Do you have a fixed wall socket that is always in the wrong position?
- Are extension cords a permanent fixture in your living room or kitchen?
- Are you renovating and want to future-proof your power layout without hacking?
- Do you want more sockets in a space without calling an electrician every time?
- Are you looking for a cleaner, more modern look than standard white switch plates?
If yes to any of these, the Ozo Power Track system is built for you. Choose from recessed or surface-mounted models in five sizes and four colours — from S$100 — all with a 10-year local warranty and fast island-wide delivery from Regal Lighting.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. Do I need an electrician to install a power track in Singapore?
Yes — the initial connection of the power track rail to your mains supply must be carried out by a licensed electrician in Singapore, as required by the Energy Market Authority (EMA). However, once installed, adding, removing, and repositioning adaptors along the track is fully DIY — no tools needed. This makes the Ozo Power Track far more cost-efficient than traditional sockets over time, where every socket change requires a licensed electrician.
Q2. Is the Ozo Power Track safe for use in Singapore?
Yes. The Ozo Power Track features three dedicated safety mechanisms: the Axis Twist Switch (prevents accidental activation), the Align Safe Mechanism (ensures live contact only when an adaptor is fully and correctly seated), and a Protection Guard (covers unused track segments). It is rated at 32A / 8000W at 250V, compliant with Singapore’s standard residential voltage. For any installation or safety queries, contact the team via the Regal Lighting contact page or call +65 6458 0313.
Q3. Can I install a recessed power track in an HDB flat?
Yes, provided the installation is carried out by a licensed electrician and the wall work complies with HDB’s renovation guidelines. The recessed model requires a cut-out of Width 90mm × Depth 20mm. For walls where hacking is restricted, the surface-mounted model is an ideal alternative — no wall cutting required.
Q4. How many adaptors can one power track support?
It depends on the length of track chosen. A 400mm track supports up to 4 adaptors; 500mm fits 5; 600mm fits 7; 800mm fits 10; and the 1000mm track supports up to 13 adaptors. All sizes are rated at 32A / 8000W total — enough for a full kitchen’s worth of appliances running simultaneously. Adaptors are sold separately at S$40 each.
Q5. What is the difference between the recessed and surface-mounted Ozo Power Track?
Both models share identical specifications — same sizes, same colours, same 10-year warranty, same 32A rating, and the same adaptor compatibility. The only difference is installation method. The recessed model is cut into the wall or counter surface for a completely flush finish. The surface-mounted model sits on top of the surface, requiring no wall cutting — it is faster to install and ideal for renters or locations where wall hacking is not possible.
