must this be plugged in or can it be used as battery only? if so, I want to mount this near ceiling - is plug retractable?

It's designed to be plugged in. I think it has a battery but it's only for when the power goes out.

It failed after about a month. I had it plugged in all the time. It was under warranty, but the manufacturer required me to pay for shipping PLUS SIX DOLLARS handling!! I through it away and got another brand at Home Depot. good luck..

It can be plugged into a standard outlet. Mounting the lamp is also very simple. I am exteremly satisfied with the pair of fixutes I purchased.

There's a panel, you don't have to remove the unit from the ceiling, you just press on it, and it will open up and the square 9 volt battery will be exposed, just slide it out and insert a fresh one. It's labeled.

You only need the batteries. Then you can put it anywhere instead of needing it to be near an electrical outlet.

I imagine you could mount to a dropped ceiling tile if you distribute the weight. I would use a 1x1 piece of wood the same length of the tile distribute the weight. No problems so far with the backup battery.

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.

Yes, it is designed to be plugged into the wall socket, not run on batteries normally.

This is electric... no battery option that I am aware of. The cord is relatively short... if I were to guess (since I'm not at home) I would say a 2, maybe 3 feet. I have an extension cord plugged in to it that is mounted along the ceiling and then down the wall with the provided clips.

I stuck mine on with velcro strips (not supplied) for easy removal to change the batteries. It is meant to be fixed with screws into the wall/ceiling but it's still easy to remove for battery changes, if you did so.

There is a Mounting Base that connects into your Wall or Ceiling. You have to remove the Main Unit from the Mounting Base and you'll see the compartment for the Batteries. I hope this helps.

As the other responders indicate, the unit was intended to be "hardwired" on a wall - not plugged into an outlet, although that is possible using a homemade cord. Alternatively, there are emergency/security lights designed for plug-in use - one of which I also own and use (obtained from Amazon): Globe Security light (#32602). It can be wall-mounted or hung, but must be plugged into an outlet; the cord is reasonably long.

It's a plug in only. I don't see anywhere there is a location for batteries.

It must be plugged into a wall socket and is not designed to be run by batteries.

The motor is AC. I had to add a long cord to enable mounting on a ceiling. The problem with most battery operated motors is that they don't have enough power to handle more than a few ounces.

It is meant to be hard wired in and doesn't come with a cord. It is not a suspended unit. It is ceiling mounted.

This model needs to be plugged in. The clock itself is heavy duty enough where I wouldn't see batteries lasting very long if they were an option.

Hello it is possible to use a plug, but it is not necessary because the light is LED, which lasts a considerable time with the battery. Of course, an electrician can certainly hard wire it for you, which I had done in our previous house . The one I had previously had one more angle of use, which I liked, but I have not seen that recently when I looked. It pulls out 12". You may wish to tape it into position while you decide on the most convenient height and location.
