Is this fixture hardwired? Will it give off enough light to use in an office?

These fixtures have fittings on the back that allow direct wiring into the unit. Depending on the size, they give off a nice amount of light. These are designed as under cabinet lights that shine on a surface 16-18" below. In that application, they give off plenty of light. I think they would be good up to 20-22" but after that they may not work well unless you have a lot of ambient light in that area. The website has a chart for each of the sizes that gives you the average lumens on the backsplash and the countertop which may help you.

It is hardwired.....what kind of task do you want to use it for in an office??

This is a hardwired fixture. We've got one of these (and an additional one of a different size) in our kitchen. The light is great for task lighting and should be plenty bright enough if you're mounting under a shelf or cabinet.

Yes, They are hardwired. They are bright, but don't know if they would be enough to light an office. Depends on the office space and if they are the only light source.

Yes it is hardwired. It gives off plenty of light when used for and undercabinet or small closet situation it would not be so good for general room lighting

Wouldn't think it should present any problem. Just make sure it's focus is on you and not situated toward a coworker. It's bright, but it is a "happy bright"..not glaring. Probably would go unnoticed for the most part, depending on the heights & set ups of coworkers cubicles, as well as overall office lighting. If office lighting is poor, which is the case many times, then it will be noticed. Make sure you read the directions in order to get optimum benefit.

No its meant to be hard wired, you will need to buy the proper fixture to plug into wall

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."

I am very satisfied with this rope lighting; but I put mine up on the edge of my cabinets over my sink and plugged it in. I wouldn't know whether it could be hard wired or not. It is a standard plug. Hope this helps.

Depends on how much other light there is in the room...it's not the brightest fixture ever. It'd be good for effect lighting but not for primary lighting.

I have 3 of them installed about 5 feet above my computer desk. It is adequate lighting for working at the desk, but not for the rest of the room.

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.

I don't think it would give enough light for your purposes . Think of it as a good closet light or as a work lamp.

It is hardwired but it can be adapted to be a plug in (easily). Great light!

This is a hard wired light fixture. But if you contact the seller, they can put a plug on it if you would rather. Just keep in mind that it only comes with 3' of a hang down so you might want to add cord (for a little extra charge) if you are plugging it in. Thank you.

I would think an electrician could hard wire this fixture to a dimmer switch. I would like to point out, this is not a high quality piece.

This is NOT a plug in chandelier. You should contact a qualified electrician to wire this light fixture directly into your homes electrical system.

It is hard wired.If your wire is run into an outside box(same as inside outlet box,metal or plastic).The fixture screws to box,wire nuts included.Make sure power is off to that wire with tester.Good luck.

Hard wire, and a very pretty fixture. It puts out a soft light, so if you wanted more coverage or brighter light you might use the florescent bulbs, or "real" bulbs (bluish tint to them). No complaints here, it was perfect for my second bedroom!

The light is a harsh blueish white. The fixture is made specifically for use with a LED bulb so unless you can find an LED with a "soft" light, it may not meet your needs. HTH
