NUVO Lighting TH488 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the NUVO TH488 track head work on my existing track, or do I need a specific track type?
The TH488 is a 120V ceiling-mounted track head with an integrated LED, so it runs on a standard 120V line-voltage track system. It is not a low-voltage or 12V head. If your track is a 120V single-circuit system, the head drops onto it; check the manufacturer's instruction sheet for the adapter orientation before you order a case of them.
2) Can I use a 12W LED track head outdoors or in a covered exterior walkway?
No. The TH488 forged track head is rated for dry locations and listed for indoor use only. Covered walkways, soffits, patios, and bathrooms with shower exposure all need a damp or wet rated fixture instead. Keep this one to conditioned interior space.
3) Is the NUVO TH488 dimmable, and can the LED be replaced when it burns out?
It dims, but the LED is integrated, meaning the light engine is built into the head and there is no lamp to swap. Rated life is 30,000 hours; at end of life you replace the whole head. For a property with a dimmer already installed, confirm the dimmer is an LED-compatible 120V type.
4) Is a 24 degree beam angle right for accent lighting artwork or retail merchandise?
Yes, 24 degrees is a narrow flood, which is the usual choice for picking out artwork, signage, or a merchandise display rather than washing a whole room. It puts 1020 lumens into a tight pool, so space heads closer together if you want continuous coverage on a wall. For general ambient lighting over a floor area you would want a wider beam head.
5) How far does the TH488 track head hang down from the track?
Extension is 6.25 inches from the track, and the head body measures 3.00 inches long by 2.75 inches wide by 2.75 inches high. Worth checking against ceiling height and any sprinkler or soffit clearance in a low-ceiling retail bay. The head weighs 0.64 lbs, so it is not a load concern on a properly supported track.
6) Is this track head approved for a commercial build, and what is the housing made of?
The TH488 carries a cETLus safety listing, which covers both US and Canadian installations, and it is RoHS compliant. The body is aluminum in a black finish, styled modern. Note the California Prop 65 disclosure for lead, which matters if you are shipping into a California jobsite.
7) Can I change the color temperature on the NUVO TH488, or is it fixed?
Fixed. The TH488 is not a CCT selectable head, so there is no field switch to move it between 2700K, 3000K, and 4000K. If you are adding heads to an existing run and want them to match, order the same model rather than mixing in a selectable head that may have been set differently.
8) What finish does the TH488 forged track head come in?
Black only, on an aluminum body. If the rest of the heads on the run are brushed nickel or white, this one will not blend in, so it suits black track or an intentional dark-on-dark ceiling.
