What do you do with the grounding wire if you plug the lamp into the wall (not hardwire)? And why is the ceiling mount near the plug, not the lamp?

It 's hung by the traditional chain and the plug is vey long so that you can reach an outlet. I can 't remember, but I thought the grounding wire is twined in with the plug. The ceiling mount was able to slide along the cable and wires , so you could adjust how short or long you wanted to install the chandelier.

If you mean the part where it plugs into the wall, its small. Not grounded so the same size as a normal lamp cord would be. If you mean the end where you screw in the lightbulb, it's barely bigger than the base of the lightbulb itself is. Very small cord but works quite well.

There are three parts - the wall mount - the lamp with the electrical wire - and the set screw that fits in the wall mount and acts to tighten the lamp post to the wall mount - I looked for the set screw and found it hidden in the box. Good luck

Hardwired. I didn't find a plug in version close enough to this to suit my taste, so I opted to modify this one. I bought and installed a straight blade angle plug, so now mine is plugged into the wall. This is about as simple a DIY project as it gets (you only need a screw driver), you'd probably spend more time hanging the lamp than adding the plug.

I didn't mount it, I have it in a closet plugged into the nearest outlet. You will love it!

Screw mounting plate to the wall. Connect wires and attach lamp to mounting plate with thumb screws

It plugs into an outlet. The wire interweaves with the chain which you drape over to the wall above the outlet and then it flows down to the outlet. There will be extra chain and wire to deal with but no problem. I love my lamp, and I have 3 all together plus a matching one over the dining room table.

Just took one apart to be sure of how it is wired...There are black and white wires coming off the back of the porcelain lamp holder...These leads are permanently affixed to the lamp holder and will use wire nuts for connections...There are no screw connections for the wires on the lamp holder...Also, there is a very small "allen head" set screw that secures the guard to the housing...Back it out so the guard will screw on/off easily...I found some red glass globes for my lights...They do tighten down ok with a little care...The guard keeps them in place...Respy, Capn Carl...

I would have to suggest a ground wire was NOT attached to the wall outlet. Many people install wall outlets, but if the house has older wiring, there may not be a ground wire. You can remove the front plate and try to see if there is a ground wire attached to the outlet. Good luck.

It is intended to be wired into the ceiling. I bought a plug from Lowes and connected the wire that way though.

Because if the heat from this fixture it is advised to mount like you would any light fixture. Take a lokk at your current fixtures in ur house. How r they afixed to the ceiling or wall. They shouls have a conection to the wires through a hole in the wall or ceiling that then connects to your electrical box/panel. I hope ths helps

... it doesn't come with any plug or hangar - I used it to replace an existing hanging lamp so was able to use the cord/chain/hangar from that one - I guess they expect this lamp to be installed by a "qualified electrician" - hard-wired - I'm not one, but it was fairly simple to do myself.

The section that has the light in it can continue flipping around all of the way until it bottoms out against the other sections. For example the picture show in the ad shows the light pointing to the right as its in an almost vertical shining position. The top section could keep flipping all of the way around so as to form a triangle and be pointing off to the left in an upward direction. Hope this helps. Also, there are no mounting slots or holes to hang it on anything. I imagine you could make this thing point about anywhere you'd like with some creativity. The only negative I have is that I wish that the plug would have been placed at the other end of the base....not that big of a deal but it would have worked better for me and how I use it.

Mount it from a pole attached to the ceiling above rather than a pole mounted from the ground/base unit as seen in the picture. Just reverse the mounting from above...

This comes with a ceiling plate mount , bare wire and wire nuts. For my purpose, I purchased separate edison plugs and did away with the included mount.

I am not an electrician so what I would do is Google it. Check out this site... http://www.epanorama.net/documents/groundloop/why_grounding.html

It might be possible to make a long "extension cord" that plugs into a wall outlet (usually near the bottom of the wall), and then you could glue or tack it to a corner and run the wire up to the ceiling, and then across to where you want the actual mounting to be. There, you would connect the light fixture socket to the long extension cord you made, and it would be safely wired into the house electrical system. You might want to get fancy, and paint the extension cord the color of the wall, so it would be virtually invisible, without needing to do a lot of "remodeling" type changes. Just a thought -- this would be a mid-level Home Depot type of project, entirely do-able if you think it through.
