Does this fixture plug directly into a power outlet? I am looking for a light to put on the top of an armoire for extra lighting. Would this work?

This fixture does not have a power cord, but it is easy to add one. I bought an extension cord and cut off the receptacle end. Then I attached the cord to the fixture with wire nuts. I punched out one of the partially "pre-punched" holes and used a rubber grommet to protect the wire. This allowed me to make the power cord the exact length that I needed. Any hardware store has the materials and knowhow to help if you have more questions.

No, this fixture is meant to be direct wired. That could also be a problem if these lights are wired in a series. The knock-outs are too small to fit 2 wires (one in and one out to the next light.

No, this particular model has to be hardwired. Amazon has incorrect data in the table on the page for this product.

Not on the one I bought. I purchased a toggle switch to plug into the outlet I'm using and achieved the same result. It's a great light. Just right for shop work.

The light is designed to plug directly into an outlet. I needed it hanging so my father's hand could activate from his bed in the night. My solution was to plug it into an extension cord with a loop that could be hung from a wall hook so the light is exactly where it is needed. I turn it completely off during the day so I've not noticed if is light sensor activated. We are very happy with how the light functions.

It doesn't plug in. It is hard wired. If you have replaced any light fixture before, this one is no different. It was fairly easy to install and looks great!

No, it plugs right into an ordinary wall outlet. If you order one, please note that you MUST tighten the arms with a coin or something so that it will remain in the position you choose. Otherwise it tends to drop back down. 2nd also....read the instructions because it WILL NOT turn on unless you have the arm extended to a certain position when pushing the 'on' button. It's a safety feature. I ordered this lamp from QVC and paid more than double. I returned it when I saw the Amazon price under $30. Use it often and it's well worth it.

Yes....it is designed to connect to landscape-lighting wire which comes from a transformer...the bulb needs 12v power and would not work if you plug it directly into a regular outlet.

It connects to the light fixture in the ceiling. I thought it plugged into an electrical outlet, but luckily I had a light fixture near the dinning table

I also used it as a swag. I believe the chain is about 10 feet long, but I may have added some. I don't remember the details about the power cord, or even if it had one. I had to add a cord, because I wanted a little more length to reach the chosen socket and there was no switch. I added an external ground wire, twisted around the cord through the chain. I believe the fixture was originally only for two-wire. I did everything myself, but my memory isn't the best. I'm 77 years old. If I can make it work, you probably can too. We like the end result.

No, it needs to be wired into the fixture. It is such a nice little chandelier and perfect in our closet.

Yes it will plug into a standard outlet. I would not reccomend using it or outdoors. The sun would be much more effective and it isn't built to be used outside. The ballets regulates the power delivery and keeps the wattage at exactly what the bulb calls for. This extends bulb life and efficiency.

Yes, this unit can plug directly into an outlet. However, if your outlets are not conveniently located, you can improvise using an extension cord, a ring and a hook to achieve the exact placement needed--such as by the head of the bed so it will light when one moves their arm. This works great for my elderly father who cannot get out of bed unassisted, but wants to see items on his bedside table that he is reaching for. I like that the light automatically comes on when I'm called in the night to assist him and goes off on its own when I leave.

This lamp is designed to be permanently wired into a ceiling fixture. It doesn't necessarily require an electrician. But, straight out of the box, there is no way to plug it into a wall outlet.

No. If you really like this fixture, I suggest you have an electrician install it. I think it's great the way it is ! (swags are over-rated !)

No; this unit plugs into outlet. It works great. I dragged it all over the place in a large crawlspace and had no trouble with it. There is a pretty good guard in front of the bulb.

This fixture comes, to hang as a ceiling fixture, only. Not configured to use as a plug in chain light.

I'm not sure I understand your question. This is a light fixture designed to be wired permanently into a regular circuit, as mine is. There is no power cord with the fixture.

Wiring is meant to be installed from the back of the plate. The fixture is also meant to be fastened to an electrical wall-box via a bracket hidden behind the plate and fastened by two knurl-headed screws from the front of the plate through the provided screw-holes on the left and right sides. If you fashion a way to hold the fixture to the wall - perhaps simply two brass wood screws or toggle-bolts - and cut a notch in the edge of the plate to accept the raceway and cord, I don't see why that wouldn't work just fine. Note, though, that there is no switch on this fixture - the power needs to be controlled from elsewhere, like a wall switch or some such.
