Could someone explain how I can hook this up to a wall plug - what specific additional wiring parts do I need? Thanks!

I had a regular lamp cord that I cut and strip. Took those 2 leads and connected to the flat panel light. Use wire nuts and electrical tape to keep tight in the box that is on the back of the light. Also make sure you get a strain relief (rubber grommet) for the hole the wire goes thru in that box

You just need wires with an outlet plug attached. You can probably cut one off an existing lamp or old dvd player. Make sure the included transformer is used.

It needs to be hard wired. However, if you want to plug it into the wall you can buy a plug at a hardware store to convert it.

I tried using what I had as well and ended up buying a bigger unit to plug into the wall and I tried using my wire but ended up buying new wire. Once I got everything in place it works fine but I was frustrated at first trying to use what I had. Good luck

This is a hard wire unit. You must connect it to existing wiring or connect your own cord with plug.

You have to use the attachment to connect to the slanted plug then plug it in the regular wall. One its plugged in its arkward looking sticking out the wall. I opt to purchase a separate regular plug.

Yes, you just have to purchase and install the appropriate adapter and wiring. I did not do this since it appeared a bit too complicated for me.

Hi Dan your question seems a little vague but your correct with the wall wort just won't do. You're going to need a few more components and isolation. You may want to look at linear technology such as the lt3573 flyback converter. They have some great circuit diagrams which may be of help. Otherwise unless you elaborate more of what your trying to do I can't answer.

If it does not have a socket, then it should have a two wire connector that plugs together. If not, you might need to cut of the connector and just wire not the conductor together. If you are not experienced, you shod hire an electrician.

I bought a 2 wire (outdoor) electrical extension cord which has only the male plug on one end; ran the cord through the wall and wired the light to the extension cord and plugged the cord into an adapter with an off-on switch and plugged this into an outlet. Works great -- all parts are at Lowes.

It just plugs into the wall outlet. I hope that is helpful. Maybe I'm not understanding, let me know.

1 standard universal plug and 1 cord with no plug attached yet. You will need to buy your own end and put it on. Soldering and crimping required.

These answers posted are weak at best. "I had an electrician do it" Give me a schematic or a wiring diagram.Weak specs is a problem.

with a bit of wiring that should work fine. You would just have to run your own wire instead of using one of those simple snap on connectors. Voltage wise you are set.

I ordered two of these kits and they were easy to put together and work great. The wall plug is included. Everything you need is included. Good luck!

I used an old 12v 500ma wall wort from some old speakers. Similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Power-Adapter-120V-12V-1A-5-5mm-2-1mm/dp/B00417WE2K Just cut the plug off, separate the wires, cut off the sheathing, and insert them into the + or -. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE POLARITY CORRECT! As I remember it may fry it if you put it in incorrectly. Use a multimeter to double check.

I believe you would need an adapter for the power source. I used this unit in my vehicle, so my wiring harness came with the correct connecter. Contact the seller to see if you can get a .pdf of the wiring schematics, & that should give you a better idea. So other than the power source, all other connections are via RCA jacks. I hope this helped. Good luck to you.
