NUVO Lighting TH302 1-Light, PAR38, Track Head, Gimbal Ring, Brushed Nickel Finish

No lamp is included with the TH302. It takes a single PAR38 lamp with an E26 medium base, rated up to 150W at 120V. Any PAR38 in that base will physically fit, so you can run an incandescent or halogen PAR38 or drop in an LED PAR38 to cut the load.

No. The TH302 is rated for dry locations and indoor use only. A covered patio, a car port, or a bathroom over a shower all count as damp or wet, so this head is the wrong choice there. Keep it to interior ceilings.

It is a ceiling-mounted single track head that installs onto a track run rather than being wired to a junction box. Track systems are not universal between manufacturers, so match the head's adapter to the track profile you already have. Full mounting steps are in the NUVO TH302 instruction sheet and the specification sheet linked on the product record.

Dimming is lamp dependent. The head itself has no driver or electronics, it just holds a 120V E26 lamp, so whether it dims comes down to the PAR38 you put in it and the dimmer on the circuit. A standard incandescent or halogen PAR38 dims on a common forward-phase dimmer; an LED PAR38 only dims if that lamp is marked dimmable and matched to the control.

Plan on about 9.88 inches of extension below the track, with the head body measuring 5 inches wide by 5 inches high. That projection matters in low-ceiling retail or a residential hallway, and it also sets how close you can aim two heads before they collide on the rail. Weight is under a pound at 0.98 lbs.

It carries a cETLus safety listing, which covers both US and Canadian requirements, and the fixture is RoHS compliant. Note the California Prop 65 content is listed as lead, which is the disclosure a spec-sensitive institutional buyer will want on file.

The gimbal ring holds the PAR38 lamp in a pivoting yoke so you can rotate and tilt the beam after the head is on the track. For a property manager relamping a lobby or a retailer re-merchandising a wall, that means you aim the light where the display moved without touching the track run. Beam spread itself comes from the PAR38 you select, not the head, so pick narrow spot or flood accordingly.

150W is the maximum this head is rated for at 120V, so a 150W PAR38 is within spec. On a multi-head run that adds up fast on a 20A circuit, and the fixture is an incandescent-technology head with no thermal management for high-output lamps beyond that rating. An LED PAR38 with an E26 base drops the draw substantially and fits the same socket.

The TH302 is offered in a brushed nickel finish, in a transitional styling, with glass and metal construction. If the rest of your heads are brushed nickel PAR38 gimbals it will blend on the same run; against black or white track hardware it will read as a different piece.
