NUVO Lighting TH225 1-Light, PAR38, Track Head, Gimbal Ring, Black Finish

The TH225 takes a single PAR38 lamp with a medium E26 screw base, and no bulb ships with the head. It is rated up to 150W at 120V, so any PAR38 you choose has to stay at or under that. Dimming depends entirely on the lamp you put in it, since there is no driver in the head itself.

No. The TH225 is an indoor fixture with a dry location rating only, so it stays out of bathrooms with shower exposure, covered exterior soffits, and any damp or wet spot. For a canopy or a porch you need a fixture carrying a damp or wet location listing instead.

The head is classed as incandescent technology because it is a simple line voltage socket, but the socket is medium E26 at 120V with a 150W ceiling. Any LED PAR38 with an E26 base and a wattage under that limit works fine, and LED is the usual choice now for retail runs. Dimming behavior follows the lamp and the wall control, not the head.

It is a ceiling-mounted track head, meaning it clips into an energized track run rather than into a junction box on its own. You supply the track sections, connectors, feed, and end caps separately. Wiring and mounting steps are covered in the NUVO instruction sheet supplied with the product.

Extension is 9.88 inches, with the head measuring 5 inches wide by 5 inches high. Worth checking against ceiling height and sightlines in retail or gallery work, because a gimbal head that swings will sweep within that envelope. It weighs 0.98 lbs, so track load is not a concern on a normal run.

A gimbal ring holds the PAR38 lamp in an open ring so you can aim it through a wide arc, which is what you want for washing artwork, merchandise displays, or a feature wall where the aiming angle changes. A closed cylinder head hides the lamp and gives a tighter, more shielded beam with less spill. The TH225 relies on the PAR38 lamp itself for beam control, so you set the spread by which lamp you specify, not by the head.

Black is the only finish this head is built in. If your existing run is white or brushed nickel track, the TH225 will read as a contrast head rather than a match, so plan on either committing the whole run to black or sourcing a matching-finish head.

Yes. Lead is the listed Prop 65 chemical for this head, so shipments into California need the warning carried through. Relevant if you are a distributor relabeling or a facility buyer with a posting requirement.

No, there is no CCT selector on the head. Color temperature comes entirely from the PAR38 lamp you install, so pick 2700K, 3000K, or 4000K at the bulb to match the rest of the space.
