NUVO Lighting TH495 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the NUVO TH495 piston track head be used in a bathroom or covered porch?
No. The TH495 is rated for dry locations only and listed for indoor use, so it should stay out of bathrooms with shower moisture, covered exterior soffits, or anywhere damp. For those openings you need a damp or wet location rated head instead.
2) Will the NUVO TH495 track head work on my existing dimmer?
The TH495 is a dimmable 120V integrated LED head drawing 12 watts. Because the LED driver is built in, it needs a dimmer that handles LED loads at low wattage; an older incandescent dimmer with a high minimum load may buzz or drop out with only 12W on the circuit.
3) Can I change the bulb in the TH495 piston track head when it burns out?
No, the lamp is not replaceable. The TH495 uses an integrated LED, so there is no socket and no bulb to buy; the head is the light source. It carries an average rated life of 30,000 hours, and at end of life the whole head gets swapped. For a facility that prefers relamping, choose a track head with a standard lamp base instead.
4) How much light does a 12W NUVO TH495 track head put out, and how many do I need over a retail display?
Each TH495 delivers 1020 lumens through a 36 degree beam, which is an accent/display spread rather than a wide wash. For a run of merchandise or artwork, plan heads on roughly even centers along the track and let the 36 degree cone define each pool; for general room lighting a wider beam angle is the better choice.
5) Is the color rendering on the NUVO TH495 good enough for retail merchandise or gallery work?
CRI is 90, which is the usual threshold buyers specify for retail, gallery, and hospitality accent lighting where fabric and skin tones have to read true. Note the head is not CCT selectable, so the color temperature is fixed and you cannot field-adjust it to match adjacent fixtures.
6) How far does the TH495 track head hang down and how much room does it need to aim?
The body measures 2.75 inches in length, width, and height, with a 5.75 inch extension from the track. That extension is your drop plus the pivot arc, so allow clearance for the head to swivel without hitting soffits, shelving tops, or a sloped ceiling.
7) Does the NUVO TH495 track head carry a safety listing for commercial installation?
It is cETLus listed, which covers both US and Canadian safety requirements and is what most commercial inspectors and institutional specs want to see on a luminaire. The head is also RoHS compliant.
8) What is the TH495 track head made of and how heavy is it on the track?
Aluminum body, 0.77 lbs per head. That is light enough that a standard ceiling-mounted track run carries a full line of them without extra support, and the aluminum housing also does the heat sinking for the integrated LED.
9) Does the black TH495 come in other finishes?
The TH495 piston track head is a black finish only. If you are matching brushed nickel or white track already installed, you will need a different head in the series rather than a finish option on this one.
10) Is there a Prop 65 warning on the NUVO TH495 track head?
Yes. The TH495 is flagged under California Proposition 65 for lead. Institutional and government purchasers who require Prop 65 disclosure on submittals should carry that on the paperwork.
