can you hide the wire or not?

Not really. I think you could push the wire up inside the globe but the plug part would still hang out. There isn't really enough room in the base to hide the wire either. I'm sure you could find a way but it definitely wasn't designed to be able to hide the wire. I just have mine on a low bookshelf and the wire hides behind the bookshelf like a lamp cord would. Hope that helps!

Yeah, i had my wire cut, so i know. I would bury mine next time, but i would never advise anyone else to, since i'm not a pro. It's heavy duty, but i would get large outdoor rated electric conduit to run it through, w elbows to take it out of the ground on each end. Maybe more hassle than unplugging each time.

I suppose, if you really know what you're doing. There is a 2-conductor wire that exits the bottom of the metal cabinet. If you punch the appropriate size hole for an EMT or plastic conduit I suppose you "could" hard wire it. Seems like a lot of trouble. If you want to hide the cord you could use a piece of paintable plastic wire mold--the kind used to hide wall-mounted TV cords. Another option would be to install an outlet to the side of the metal cabinet where the wood frame would conceal it, or use a "clock outlet" which is recessed, mounted directly behind the unit.

No, the outlet does not need to be visible. It will even work through walls.

We found it best to install the outlet behind the chimney that sits on the glass hood. By doing so the outlet and the cord are hidden from view.

If you want to give it a professional look, then yes, but the wire is super thin so you can easily pass it under a door. I drilled a hole in my downstairs wall leading outside, ran the wire up the wall to the second floor, where i drilled another hole bringing it back into the house. Then I sealed the holes with some silicone to protect from small bugs and moisture. The thin wire is basically against the outside wall but is virtually unnoticeable.

The wires are stored behind but not completely hidden. I recommend short wires. I purchased shorter cables and i love it!

Someone on here had a great idea of hiding it behind a picture! Something I never though of but would even be easy in this respect to hide the wire in the wall if you are super OCPD. Worth a try!

No. You should cover any bare wire. Use electrical tape or small heat-shrink tube. Do not cut any of the wire off. If you don't cover bare wire and it makes contact with other metal it will reduce your reception range. If it somehow makes contact with the positive end of the electrical system it can cause damage. This is very unlikely to happen.

The wire comes out of the sconce as in the picture. You could pull it back and make it exit the back to hardwire, but you'd still have a hole on the surface that was obviously intended for the wire.

No. The wire is barely visible from my ceiling mount since I wrapped the wire around the bracket.

Mine remains plugged in as I buried the wire in the wall so it would be less apparent.

I wouldn't recommend it. The wire has to be low enough so the intruder wouldn't see it, but even if it's missed it would have to touch bare skin.

Yes you can, I did that for a while however that left the box not completely sealed and moisture & contaminates can get in. I later bought the mc-4 connecters and got better results. Good luck. Remember the shorter the wire run the higher the output.

Mr. Bosco, great idea however I believe that you would be best served by running an independent source to the light. A little critter chewing a hole in the wire eliminates the system security. The previous comments are really quite true. Safety first!

You can't hide the wires in the stand but if you set the TV low toward the bottom they won't be able to see the wires anyway. It is a great stand and very sturdy plus flexible for different sizes of TV's. I would buy it again.

Yes, that's actually one of the main reasons I got it. I have a TV, WiiU, Cable box and a Router wired through it. It hides them all. The trick is to tape the wires (the ones that can be detached from whatever they got to) into place before you mount it. It is definitely a two person (at least) job though.
