Best Nuvo TH314 Mr16 Square Track Head, Brushed Nickel Deals

Customer Ratings:

These are cheap Chinese fixtures that have worked fine for me, and are quite a bargain compared with name-brand units costing $50 and up (which don't include bulbs either). I have 10 of them and they all work fine if you install them properly, and in the right kind of track. It's the halogen bulbs I don't like. They've had 50w halogens in them for several years, and the heat has made the plastic mount a little brittle. A few tiny pieces have chipped off when I de-mount them to change bulbs, but nothing has failed. I am changing to LEDs, which provide whiter light, run cool, last a -lotlonger, and should save a bunch on the electric bill. The fixtures work fine and should last forever with minimal handling and cooler bulbs.

I was looking for track lights that were modestly priced and more attractive than the basic cans one normally sees in this price range. And being able to use LED bulbs was important. I bought 4 of these to illuminate a 6' countertop, including sink, and stove. And I picked up Ecosmart LED bulbs at Home Depot. The bulbs are identified as bright white MR16 GU10, light temperature 3000 K, 320 lumens, and 6 watts.

Some track light cans are reported to have a problem accommodating some GU16 bulbs due to a deep socket for the bulb. These have what seems to be the shallower socket which should accommodate all MR16 GU10 bulbs including those with a short neck.

Installation of the bulbs was easy. The socket is pulled out of the housing to install the bulb, then the socket/bulb assembly is reinserted in the housing. A ring clip then holds the bulb in place. These were delivered with a flat glass lens which might be desirable if you are using a bulb with a small diameter, or if you needed to block UV from the bulb. With the bulbs I used the glass was not needed, and omitting it probably keeps the bulb circuitry a bit cooler by letting air flow through.

The track light heads installed easily on the track as one would expect. I only installed 3 of the 4 lights because the light was more than adequate with 3 to cover the countertop and stove, and if I had installed the 4th one I probably would have needed to wear sunglasses when doing dishes in the sink. The small size of these means they are unobtrusive when turned off, and they look really classy when turned on.

The quality of construction seems better than comparably priced track lighting cans I looked at. In all respects, they have been an excellent purchase.

This was the design that i wanted for my living room and I took a chance that they would fit my old "L" track & replace my huge cams. I got lucky. They fit & i love them but i will have to buy a few more to add brightness to my room. Fair enough.

I have had these lights in my kitchen for about 4 years now. Agree with everything Zippy wrote, but when you buy the MR16 LED bulbs, be sure to get the GU10 base, which have t-shaped push-twist pins, not straight push-in pins. I mistakenly bought the wrong bulb at Home Depot and had opened it before I realized my $20 mistake. The bulb at Home Depot is their SKU# 402649. The light heads themselves are have just the right modern, sort-of-industrial-but-not-intrusive-about-it look for my kitchen. They are easy to install on the track and easy to aim in any direction.
