Can this fixture be hardwired to work off of a switch?

Yes, the base has a built in switch, but the cord can be removed and the switch either left permanently on or bypassed. The base is large enough to cover a standard single gang electrical box, although two holes will have to be drilled into the back plate to mount to the box. There is a knockout in the plate, but it doesn't match any US size. I think it's metric.

Yes. I have them both hardwired. They have their own on/off switch. but you could also add a wall switch if desired. These are excellent lamps!!!

No. This fixture is intended to be wired to a switch. The fixture can be attached by screws to the ceiling joice. No electrical box is necessary fo this type fixture.

No, it is hard-wired. We converted it to a plug-in style by purchasing a "kit" at Lowes'..the light is beautiful!!

You will have to remove the socket and hard-wire this fixture to the electric source. You may be able to find an adapter to give you plain wires from a screw-on socket though.

Yes, I used these to replace a few non-switched units. When you install them you will leave the switch that is on the fixture on, and use your light switch as normal.

If your light now is 12 volt and this fixture is the correct size as in dimensions it will be a good choice it has a switch on the fixture ,on and off.

The light fixture was ready to plug in, however we hard wired it to turn on and off with a light switch. I love this fixture, it is very very nice quality for the price

No manual switch on the fixture itself and it does come with bulbs. I have mine mounted on a flat surface but you may be able to find a different kind of mounting. My electrician installed three of these and I love them and bought 8 more. I have 10 acres in the woods so security was important but also the ability to enjoy the stars

The question as posed implies cutting off the power supply plug and hard wiring the wire into a conventional light switch which would be a no no because the plug-in power supply in this package contains a transformer to reduce the voltage to 12 Volts. This really isn't the right package if one wants to control the lights from a dedicated wall switch. I would suggest the customer go direct to InspiredLED.com. I can't overstate how easy it is to deal with people on line. They'll fix you up in no time once they have an idea what your wishes are. Send them dimensions and ideally a photo(s) of where you want lights and they will return it with a worked up layout, parts list and costing.

If your power source is connected to only one switch the fixture must be wired so the fan and light are wired togther. Fan and light will power on/off togther.

Hardwired. Easy to switch it out for another light. I had a regular one in similar style that just flipped off and on. My handyman switched it out in about 5 minutes.

You could cut the cord and hard wire it but since the on/off switch is on the cord you would no longer be able to turn the light off.

There is no on/off switch on the fixture. This fixture has to be wired to a wall switch.

Yes, if you wire it correctly. Also can be wired to where the switch controls the receptacle. Consult someone qualified to perform the wiring for you.

No. These lights are meant to hard wire directly. A cord can be attached to these easily if needed.

Yes. I attached mine to a wall switch. Just follow the wiring instructions.

There is a removable cover on the electrical area, so it should be possible to hard wire it.
