WAC Lighting Charge 8010 LED Adjustable Track Head 5-CCT Selectable

In this review of the Charge 8010 track head, the bottom line is simple: this is a compact, precise LED fixture for anyone who needs controllable, high-quality accent or ambient light on a compatible track. The reviewer found the solid die-cast aluminum build and frosted TIR lens deliver even, low-glare illumination while the 5-CCT selectable range and 350 degree horizontal aiming give practical flexibility for galleries, retail displays, and task areas. It is best chosen when you want a small, fully dimmable head with excellent color rendering rather than a decorative pendant.

Key Features

• Solid construction: Die-cast aluminum housing feels durable and resists wobble while maintaining a compact look on the track.
• Frosted TIR lens: The lens produces even light with reduced glare, making it suitable for close-up accenting and general illumination.
• Adjustable aiming: 350 degree horizontal and 90 degree vertical rotation lets installers point light exactly where it is needed for displays or work surfaces.
• 5-CCT selectability: Onboard color temperature choices from 2700K to 5000K allow quick tuning of atmosphere and color matching without swapping fixtures.
• High efficacy: 9W output provides 865 delivered lumens with CRI 90+ for accurate color rendering in retail or studio settings.
• Reliable dimming: Smooth, continuous dimming with ELV or TRIAC dimmers lets users control ambiance down to 10%.

Who It's For

This track head suits designers, gallery owners, and homeowners who need focused, high-CRI light from a small, adjustable fixture. It is particularly useful where color fidelity matters and where the ability to change color temperature on the fly saves time during setup.

Those who need decorative fixtures, pendant-style statements, or waterproof lighting should look elsewhere; this model is optimized for dry-location track installations on compatible H, J, or L style tracks and prioritizes performance and adjustability over decorative form.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Compact, sturdy die-cast housing that blends into track runs while feeling well built.

Cons
