Can this light be hard wired by an electrician on the wall directly behind the mount?

Yes it can although all connections should be in a box. If installing a box is not practical make sure all connections are taped good. He might not do it that way because it won't be in code.

Yes, that's what it's for. It turned out that the best place to mount mine required a cord, and it wasn't too hard to modify (pop the grommet out the back, drill a hold the same size on the bottom and connect a cord thru that hole)

When I ordered the mirror, the photo showed a wire dangling below, yet the description said direct wired, which is what I wanted. I took a chance and it turned out that it was the version for direct wiring. One caution that required my electrician to do some rework, was that the box he roughed in was a round box, and the device actually requires a conventional 2x3 rectangular box ( like used for wall outlets). My wife and I like the lighted mirror and use it daily for shaving, makeup etc. Lighting is quite adequate for this purpose.

They make a hardwired version which is what I bought. I mounted the attachment plate to a stud in the wall, then drilled a hole behind it (through an existing hole in the plate) to run the wires. The space to pack the wires is tight, so I have to admit it was difficult. I'm not sure if it could be mounted directly to an outlet box as that is not what I did. The mirror is fairly heavy and the arm is long, so it needs substantial support behind it.

Yes, but make sure the junction box is small or the backplate won't cover it completely

It isn't an "add on", in the details it's listed as "Power Source Wired Electric"which means you would have to hard wire it to another fixture using 14 gauge wire from the hardware store.

Electrician can do anything including putting a wall plug under a counter so hard wiring isn't necessary. It will work however you want it to.

No....the entire thing needs to be hard-wired, and your existing light socket replaced with this light.

hard wired.....but I have worked at home depot for 13yrs...any light can be swaged..just know that you will see the junction of where you twist together the wires..you can buy a swag kit at home depot or lowes....

It comes to be hard wired but we bought a kit tgat includes a plug and a decorative chain at home depot to cover it with. All wiring throughout the chandelier is for you to do by is totally worth it. The product is totally quality except the little metal pieces that hold the small dangling crystals together, they are a bit flimsy so be careful with them

I'm not an electrician but...I don't see why it would not be possible. The plate that attaches to the wall is plenty big enough to cover any box inside the wall, if you were to use one(advisable). The cord would need to be rerouted, of course, leaving a hole at the bottom of the plate. It could be filled using a dark brown caulk. An electrician could do it although some may not want to since it may not be Kosher. All that being said, this is a really nice lamp. Much better quality than I expected and worth a little more money than the light weight cheap stuff we usually get from across the Pacific pond.

It is a plug in so you can see the cord which has a turn on/off switch on it..not sure if it can be hard wired. My lamps on each side of a headboard which is also black..not very noticeable.

Your question is hard to understand, but I think you want to hang this from a ceiling on a chain or something. The wires come out the back, but you could run them up the decorative banding and up the chain. It will look funny because you can't remove the wall mounting collar without removing the circuit board. That's where it lives. You could remove the circuitry altogether and just have a light controlled by a switch...that's what I ultimately had to do anyway because the fragile circuitry inside took a crap after only a year.

Hi Felicia,Yes, these lights can be hardwired. I have two in my bathroom and one in my closet. I think you will enjoy them.Sara

Does this require an electrical connection from the cieling or is it just a mount and plug in the wall light?

No, you have to wire it in. It's a great light, though. I used it to replace an out door light that didn't work too well. You can have a professional do it or if you have a wire running to the area, just hook up the ground, hot, and neutral wires using wire nuts. After you finish, it might be a good idea to put silicon around the base where it meets the wall.

No, it cant. Worse, I found myself waving my hand over it to get the light to go on. That got old pretty fast. I prefer the hard wired version.

Fixture itself is hard wired. If you have the same model that you are replacing the internal assembly should be able to be used and plugged in.

Ours is plugged in but from the manufactuer's information, it appears that it can also be hard wired - " Using the included metal cord cover, this fixture can be plugged directly in to a standard wall receptacle or can be mounted to a junction box with no cord or cover showing."

It already comes with it's own "mount" that can be attached to your wall. I don't know what your electrical box looks like, probably not on that. But it can be hard wired, by cutting off the plug, then rewired it to your electrical wires. Remember, it works on 4 C batteries alone, by taking off the back panel to wall mount. The plug can detach from the wall mount.

No, this particular version needs to be hardwired. There is another version, however, that works by just plugging it in. Be sure to check that out when you look in the descriptions for these lights.
