About Line8
Line8 is a complete modular power track system that replaces traditional fixed wall sockets — allowing you to add, remove, and reposition outlets anywhere along the track in seconds, without an electrician.
Founded by Dr Kenneth Ong in Singapore, Line8 was awarded patent status in 2017 and now holds 11 worldwide patents. It is the only power track brand fully designed and manufactured in Singapore, trusted in over 80,000 Singapore homes and distributed across 10+ countries.
Our Story → View Catalogue →Singaporean provenance: Line8 is the only power track brand fully designed, developed, and manufactured in Singapore. Competitors source and rebrand overseas (often China-made) products.
Patented Triple Redundancy Safety (TRS): Three independent protection layers — Active Grounded Shield, Lock-and-Key, and Child-Safe Push-Pull Switch — no competitor has matched this.
World's firsts: Line8 has pioneered 6+ global firsts including the world's first child-safe switch for power tracks, first mmWave presence sensor, first Dual AC+DC Power Track, and first 65W GaN USB charger in a power track adaptor.
Premium materials: Machined single-piece phosphor-bronze contacts, glass-fibre reinforced PBT adaptors (V0 fire rating), aerospace-grade anodised aluminium track. 11 premium finishes. 1mm-precision cutting. Lifetime Warranty.
100% designed, developed, and manufactured in Singapore at the Toh Guan facility. Every step happens locally: aluminium profile integration, CNC machining, laser engraving, copper conductor assembly, PBT injection moulding, hand finishing, and final assembly — all under one roof.
This full vertical integration guarantees unmatched quality control, genuine end-to-end accountability, and guaranteed long-term accessory compatibility.
- Flexibility: Up to 14 sockets per metre, repositionable in seconds without tools.
- Cost-effective: Drop-in replacement — no rewiring. Adaptors travel with you when you move.
- Patented Triple Safety: Child-safe locking, active grounding, lock-and-key — globally certified.
- Zero standby power: Fully mechanical design draws 0.0W when no adaptor is engaged.
- Premium aesthetics: 11 hand-applied finishes, 1mm-precision custom cutting, bespoke lengths.
- Smart ecosystem: IoT camera, mmWave motion sensor, GaN USB charging, surge protection, RGBCCT lighting — all from one rail.
- Lifetime Warranty on tracks and Premium adaptors.

Find All Outlets →- Safety Mark certified — same standard as a fixed wall socket. Extension strips have no equivalent certification.
- No overloading risk — bus-bar design handles 32A. Extension strips create a dangerous single-socket bottleneck.
- Permanent premium fixture — aerospace aluminium, Lifetime Warranty. Extension cords are disposable.
- 50,000+ cycle rating — no rubber parts that degrade or crack.
- Correct polarity always — unidirectional engagement prevents the reversed-polarity fire risk common in cheap bi-directional tracks.
Safety
Patented Triple Redundancy Safety (TRS) — three independent layers:
- Active Grounded Shield: Two silver aluminium strips (Faraday cage principle) actively ground the track aperture — incidental contact is earthed before reaching live conductors.
- Lock-and-Key System: Circuit is always-off. Only a genuine Line8 adaptor at the correct depth, height, and rotation can close the circuit.
- Child-Safe Push-Pull Switch: Requires simultaneous opposing forces (like a child-resistant cap). Adaptor locks mechanically when ON — cannot be removed while live.
Certifications: Singapore Safety Mark (reg. 210001-00 & 231091-12), SS 241, SS 145, IEC61534, IEC 60884-2-5, SIRIM (Malaysia), GMARK (Middle East), RCM Mark (Australia/NZ).
The track is IP2X certified finger-safe. The asymmetric lock-and-key geometry means the circuit cannot be closed by any object other than a genuine Line8 adaptor. The active grounded shields immediately earth any incidental contact. Any fault current trips your home's RCCB/ELCB instantly.
Tracks are built from aerospace-grade hard-anodised aluminium and PBT polymer — non-rusting, chemically resistant. Live conductors are deeply recessed, preventing splash water from bridging contacts. If substantial water creates a leakage path, the active grounded shield discharges it to earth, immediately tripping your RCCB/ELCB. Once dry, reset the breaker — no repair needed.
Yes — Line8 is specifically engineered for kitchen use. The aluminium track efficiently dissipates heat. Adaptor housings carry a UL94 V-0 fire resistance rating (self-extinguishing thermoplastic). Steam and light splashes have no electrical effect due to the deeply recessed, Faraday-shielded contacts.
Zero standby power — 0.0W. The core track and adaptors are fully mechanical with no internal electronics. The asymmetric lock-and-key keeps the circuit open when no adaptor is engaged — no current can flow. Power is drawn only when an adaptor is engaged, rotated, and its switch activated.
- Undersized earth conductors that melt under fault current, leaving you unprotected.
- Reversed polarity — bi-directional adaptors can be inserted upside-down, energising appliance chassis even when switched off. Line8 adaptors are unidirectional only.
- No Lock-and-Key — degrading plastic flaps that crack over time, exposing live parts.
- Non-compliant materials — standard ABS instead of V0-rated PBT — a fire hazard under sustained load.
No — international adaptors are for commercial and overseas use only. Singapore regulations require all residential sockets to carry the Safety Mark, which applies only to British BS1363 (3-pin) type sockets. For home use, select our Premium British or Zen British adaptors — both Safety Mark certified.
Installation
Residential: Kitchen backsplashes, TV consoles, study desks, bedside tables, wardrobes, feature walls, under-cabinets.
Commercial: Meeting room tables, co-working spaces, pantries, retail displays, laboratories, hospitality venues.
Model guide: SL (Surface) for walls and desktops · R (Recessed) flush into carpentry · TL (Triangle) for desk edges, under-cabinet, and 90° corners.
Install when fixed carpentry and tiling is 80–90% complete. This ensures countertops, feature walls, and built-in cabinets are in place for accurate measurement — especially important for Model R recessed tracks. Share site photos with our team and we'll guide measurements.
For completed spaces, Line8 is a drop-in upgrade — tracks mount over existing socket holes using the same wiring. No hacking or rewiring required.
Installation Guide →Existing socket upgrade: No new wiring needed. Remove the faceplate, connect Live/Neutral/Earth to the Line8 terminal block, mount over the original hole — done.
New installation: Ask your electrician to run standard 3-core wiring (Live, Neutral, Earth) — identical to any wall socket requirement.
- Single track: $60
- Multiple tracks (same session): $50 per track — e.g. 3 tracks = $150
For recessed installations, a cut-out must be prepared by your carpenter to our specifications before the electrician arrives.
Book via WhatsApp →Yes. Line8 provides: step-by-step video guides for Model S/SL and Model R, a Drop-In Upgrade Guide for completed spaces, a Graphical Installation Guide (PDF), a Detailed Installation Manual (PDF), and an Uninstallation Guide for relocation. A standard upgrade takes around 5 minutes.
All Guides → Graphical Guide PDF →- Insert the adaptor into the track aperture fully.
- Rotate 90° clockwise to engage the electrical connection.
- Power on: Premium series — pull the push-pull ring outward. Zen series — activates in the final rotation degrees.
To remove: switch off, rotate 90° anti-clockwise, pull out. The adaptor is mechanically locked while ON — it cannot be removed while live.
Premium Guide → Zen Guide →Yes — tracks are fully reusable. An uninstallation guide is available on the installation page. The track uninstalls in minutes and remounts at your new home using the existing socket wiring. All adaptors also untwist and pack with you. Line8 provides an Uninstallation Guide specifically for this purpose.

Power Load Calculator →Premium Series: Machined from a single block of phosphor bronze (zero joints). Features the child-safe push-pull switch — dual-action mechanism requiring deliberate force. Self-cleaning contacts. Silver-inlay switches. Covered by Lifetime Warranty. Higher price reflects superior engineering.
Zen Series: More accessible price point. Rotational safety switch — circuit activates only in the final degrees of rotation. Sold in packs of 2. Covered by a 3-year warranty. A solid choice for lower-traffic positions.
Yes — Line8 supports simultaneous AC mains and Low Voltage DC from a single rail. Multimedia modules (HDMI, Cat6, Cat6A, Fibre Optic, Coaxial, Audio) snap in alongside power adaptors. The track's aluminium enclosure acts as an EMI shield, preventing electrical interference from degrading your data signals.
No. Line8 uses machined copper alloy conductors with pure silver switch contacts — no rubber or plastic components that degrade. A self-cleaning micro-wipe activates on every insertion, removing oxidation. Rated to exceed 50,000 insertion/removal cycles without compromise.
Yes — each adaptor is a certified wall-socket equivalent. Any extension strip (4-way, 6-way) that works in a standard wall socket works in a Line8 adaptor. The 13A per-adaptor limit still applies — ensure the combined load of all devices on the extension does not exceed this.
Minimal maintenance required. Fine dust in the aperture is normal and doesn't affect performance — the self-cleaning mechanism clears it on every adaptor insertion. For aesthetic cleaning: remove all adaptors, switch off main power, use a narrow vacuum nozzle on the aperture, then wipe the exterior with a dry or lightly dampened cloth.
