If you want 1 or 2 zones of lights there are 2 channel 48V track light manufacturers gaining popularity. I’ve sourced some really good ones and may provide them as a LumenCache part eventually. You can use SV drivers and keep the current below 1.2A for the PDM-8_RJ(1), or the PDM-8_RP(1) can support 2.5A per port using 22-18 AWG wires (release date is not nailed down, but I did show it at the THB show and on some videos).

I have a product in the roadmap to allow addressable track lights. This would give individual control over each light and still avoids wireless. The addressing allows the same flexibility as the RJ45 SIBs, so you can do 1 color, CCT, and RGB etc.

Best bet this year is the SV to the track. I just grabbed a random 48V track from a google search as an example of what would work. Just skip their power supply: https://www.erco.com/en_us/products/indoor/track-and-singlets/erco-minirail-48v-track-and-singlets-7076/
