I ordered 7 of these Nora Lighting 6” IC Remodel Recessed Light Housing with Free Hanging Socket - NHRIC-17QNBAT last Feb. 19 - received them about a week later or so. Thanks for the quick service. Just got to installing the housings this weekend - they’re fitting great and no problems there.

My question/concern is regarding the noted “Adjustable socket mounting plate allows for different types of lamps to be used for best possible light distribution.” (from your on-line product page).

I don’t see a “socket mounting plate” in any the housings you shipped. There is a wired bulb socket, of course, that hangs down inside the housing - and the socket has a small ’spring clip’ device on the back - but no adjustable mounting plate(s).

Answer: Nora Lighting 6” IC Remodel Recessed Light Housing with Free Hanging Socket - NHRIC-17QNBAT does NOT come with a bracket and therefore does not come with the adjustable socket mounting plate. This option is only available for Nora Lighting 6” IC Recessed Remodel Recessed Light Housing - NHRIC-17QAT, which is the only difference between the two Nora Lighting fixtures.

Does a 3-wire track system mean there are 2 separate circuits involved? I have ordered Nora Lighting 3-Wire Halo-Compatible Pendant Track Adapter - NT-317 and I am interested using a spot type lamp on the same track but on a seperate circuit. Is this possible?

Answer: Basically all Nora tracks are 3-wire which means all have a neutral, ground and power. The difference occurs in, you can have them in either single circuit or two circuits. The single Circuit is a one lighting circuit. Two circuit means you can control two separate circuits on one rail.

NT-317 - track lighting adapter from Nora Lighting can be used on both the single and two circuits. If you want to use a spot lamp on the same track but separate circuit, you must get the Nora Lighting 4 FT 2-Circuit 4-Wire Halo-Compatible Track - NT-2302.
