NUVO Lighting TH455 1-Light, LED, 12W Track Head, Taper Back, Brushed Nickel, 24 degree Beam

No. The TH455 is rated for indoor, dry locations only, so it should not go in a covered exterior area, a shower enclosure, or anywhere subject to moisture. For those spots you need a head with a damp or wet location rating.

Extension on the TH455 is 5.75 inches, with a body measuring 2.75 x 2.88 x 2.88 inches. It is a ceiling-mounted head, so in a low-ceiling corridor or over a walkway, add that 5.75 inches plus your track height when checking clearance.

The TH455 LED track head is dimmable, running on 120V line voltage. It draws 12W, so on a retrofit where it is replacing halogen heads the total load on the dimmer drops sharply, and an older high-wattage-only dimmer may not hold a stable low end. Pair it with an LED-rated dimmer for smooth control.

Each TH455 head delivers 1020 lumens at 12W through a 24 degree beam. That narrow spread is accent light, not general illumination, so it is meant to be aimed at individual objects, artwork, or merchandise. For an even wash down a wall or across a display case you would space heads on the track and overlap the cones rather than rely on one head to cover the area.

Yes, for general ambient light it is too tight. A 24 degree beam from the TH455 is a spot/narrow flood used to pick out a painting, a product, or a counter surface. If you need to light a whole room or kitchen, use a wider beam head or add more heads and spread them along the track. Treat this one as accent lighting.

There is no lamp to change. The TH455 uses an integrated LED rather than a socketed bulb, rated at 30,000 average hours. When the LED reaches end of life the head itself is replaced, so there is no relamping line item for a property manager to budget, but also no option to swap in a different beam angle or color later.

At 90 CRI, the TH455 renders color well enough for apparel, gallery, and food display work, where lower-CRI sources make goods look flat. Color temperature is fixed, not field selectable, so every head you order on a run will match rather than needing to be set on site.

The TH455 carries a cETLus safety listing, covering both US and Canadian requirements, and it is RoHS compliant. Note the California Prop 65 disclosure for lead, which matters if you are filing submittals for a California project.

Brushed nickel is the finish offered on model TH455. If the existing heads on the run are black or white, this head will stand out, so match the whole run or accept a mixed look. The head is light at 0.75 lbs, which keeps aiming stable on standard track.
