Does this need to be inserted into a switch box or can I screw it into the wall?

You can screw it into a wall. It's a good product. Been using one for months and have never had a problem.

Just screw it into the wall within 30' feet of the plug and you're good to go.

Screws to the wall...no switch box needed. I used command strips...so you don't even need screws! :)

This is made to screw onto the surface of any wall where you need to add a switch control a light.

I've turned the mounting ears 90 degrees and screwed it to a wall. The other option is to spend $25-$30 for a u shaped bracket which you screw against the wall and then mount the switch in.

The wall plate is not included; just the switch. It is sized to worked with a standard wall plate, so if you're buying htis to replace a standard toggle switch, the existing plate will work.

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. Wiring is meant to be installed from the back of the plate.

This replaces a standard wall mounted cooler switch. If you're not doimg that it won't work.

Mine only came with two loose wires. Had to put an electric cord on it. I don't use a switch with it. As to installation, it depends on what you want to do with it.

You will need to hard wire it like a ceiling fan, not a standard power cord that plugs into the wall. You wil also need to mount it like a ceiling fan so replacing an existing light helps. No switch, controlled by a wall on/off switch. Chain and wires are included.

Yes. I attached mine to a wall switch. Just follow the wiring instructions.

You can use a regular electrical box or since it is low voltage you can buy a metal or plastic frame that fits in a cut out in the wall. These cost under $2.00 each and are available at Home Depot, Lowes or from your local hardware store.

Use a single hole wall plate. It would be the exact same wall plate as would be used for a light switch. The wall plates can be purchased in different colors and shades.

The wall plate itself connects to a standard outlet box like any other wall plate (AC outlet, cable outlet, etc..). I found a handy one at ACE hardware that you can install from the front (outside) of the wall by just cutting the hole, inserting the box, and tighten down the "molly" like tabs. Run the wires inside the wall and into the box before inserting the outlet box into the wall. I hope that helps.Take a look at "Thomas & Betts #b120r Sg Old Work Box" on Amazon for an example of the outlet box.

I have not installed mine yet but it is really engineered well to attach to a wall. Mine is drywall so I believe I will put in plugs to accommodate the supplied screws. Electrical box must be in place to direct wire it. As the picture shows, on the right bottom are wires that get connected inside a box. So yes, electric is in the wall.

I have it on the same circut as the wall plug. I think you would have to run seperate wire for the switches to lights or whatever, but it sits nicely next to the plugs. common cover for them. Sounds like you have two switches now so this should work.

Not a difficult issue, connect the wires who's colors match with small wire nuts or just black electrical tape ( this is low voltage).Push everything back into the wall, fasten with the two screws. Ten minutes max.

A regular electrical box used for outlets or switches. I recommend the deep one with rotating arms to hold the box securely to the sheetrock. Cut a rectangular hole in the wall, place box in the wall, and turn arms to tighten against the wall. Beware of your vertical studs in the wall for clearance.

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

It's to be installed flush-mount through the wall, so it should be properly hard-wired from the house-wiring inside the wall, possibly with a more conveniently located (lower) wall switch. If not work-competent, have someone who is, install it.
