NUVO Lighting TH490 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the NUVO TH490 track head a 120V line-voltage fixture or does it need a low-voltage transformer?
The TH490 forged track head runs on 120V line voltage at 12 watts, so no separate transformer or driver is needed. The LED and driver are integrated in the head itself.
2) Can I replace the bulb in the NUVO TH490 track head when it burns out?
No. The TH490 uses an integrated LED, not a replaceable lamp, so there is no socket or bulb base to relamp. It is rated for an average 30,000 hours, and at end of life the head itself gets swapped out. If your maintenance program depends on field-relamping, look for a track head with a screw-base or pin-base socket instead.
3) Is a 24 degree beam angle the right choice for accent lighting over retail displays or artwork?
Yes, 24 degrees is a narrow spot-to-flood beam meant for accent work, putting a tight pool of light on a display, piece of art, or merchandise rather than washing a room. The TH490 delivers 1020 lumens at 12W with a CRI of 90, so colors and finishes read accurately under it. For general room illumination from track, you would want a wider beam head.
4) Can the NUVO TH490 track head be used in a covered exterior walkway or a bathroom?
No. The TH490 is rated for dry locations and indoor use only, so it is not suitable for exterior soffits, covered entries, or damp spots like shower areas and uncovered porches. Keep it to conditioned interior spaces such as retail floors, lobbies, offices, and galleries.
5) How far does the TH490 track head hang below the track, and how much does each head weigh?
Extension is 6.25 inches from the track, with a head measuring 3.00 inches long by 2.75 inches wide by 2.75 inches high. Each one weighs 0.64 lbs, which matters when you are loading a long run on a single circuit and checking the track's support spacing.
6) Will the NUVO TH490 dim on an existing wall dimmer, and can I get it in different color temperatures?
The TH490 is dimmable on a 120V circuit, so it can be put on a dimmer controlling the track. It is not CCT selectable, meaning there is no field switch for color temperature, so every head on the run will be the one fixed color temperature. If you need to tune white point by zone, you need a CCT-selectable head instead.
7) Is the NUVO TH490 track head safety listed for commercial installation?
It carries a cETLus safety listing, which covers both US and Canadian requirements, and it is RoHS compliant. Mounting is ceiling, via track. Note that the fixture carries a California Prop 65 notice for lead.
8) What is the TH490 track head body made of, and will it hold up on a retail sales floor?
The body is forged aluminum, which handles the heat from a 12W integrated LED and takes repeated reaiming without the flex of a thin stamped shell. Finish is white. For a retail floor where heads get repositioned as displays change, that forged housing is the practical reason to pick it over a lightweight head.
9) Where can I get the NUVO TH490 spec sheet and installation instructions for a submittal?
NUVO publishes both. The spec sheet is at media.satco.com/specsheets/pdf/TH490.pdf and the installation instructions are hosted on the Satco asset server for TH490. Those are what to attach to a submittal package or hand to the electrician on site.
