can this light be hard wired?

I don't see any reason why not. There are wire nuts for the power cord and a ground wire. 'Just need to plan for the mounting plate attachment to the wall, as there are studs on this plate for the decorative nuts.

Don't see why not. It is a 3 way light with switch on it. I just mounted it to my wall and installed a longer cord. If you can run the Romex from the switch to the light it shouldn't be a problem.

No, it cant. Worse, I found myself waving my hand over it to get the light to go on. That got old pretty fast. I prefer the hard wired version.

Mine is plug-in although I suppose it could be easily hard wired. These are the most beautiful lamps. People always comment on them. I highly recommend them.

hard wired.....but I have worked at home depot for 13yrs...any light can be swaged..just know that you will see the junction of where you twist together the wires..you can buy a swag kit at home depot or lowes....

I see no reason why it couldn't be wired with a switch, you would still have to have the "eye" on top as for normal use, but a switch should not affect the operation of the light. Mine is wired straight from the breaker and I let my breaker serve as the switch if I don't want it on.

Yes, it can. I have mine wired to plug in, but you can also direct wire it as well. I did purchase the additional wiring kit to plug it in, but feel it was a waste of money and could be purchased cheaper at the hardware store... It included gold chain (I prefer the bronze that came with the lamp) and a lot of wire, a switch, plug, etc; I truly love this lamp... It is class!

No, it must be hard wired and mounted into an electrical box in the ceiling.

You will have to remove the socket and hard-wire this fixture to the electric source. You may be able to find an adapter to give you plain wires from a screw-on socket though.

Yeah you can hard wire anything, comes with a plug. You are crazy to hard wire, I would hard wire a female receptacle then you would have a second plug for a light if you need it. But you could cut off this male plug and hard wire it.

no, Hard-Wired means that it connects directly to an electrical light outlet box installed in the wall; usually done by an electrician but a good handyman could probably do it

Yes....I have both of mine hardwired. They are excellent lamps. Even better than I had hoped for.

I'm not sure about dimmable, but there is nothing inherent to LED technology to rule that out. Hardwired would be difficult to pull off under code. The included cord exits out the end of the light, and there is no conduit fitting. There's no way to mount the light to a box either. Theoretically, you could use the included cord, cut the end off and make it up to the supply wires in a box, but that would not be compliant with any electrical code. The legit way to do it is to install an outlet and plug it in.

The way the light is shipped it must be hard wired. It is just the typical exposed wires, positive, negative and a ground wire

THE light will only work wired one way ,, it does not hurt the light if you get it wrong, its a goood light i love it

Absolutely NOT. It needs (by code) to be hardwired to a direct power source. That's the whole purpose- when the power goes out, the emergency lights come on. You can wire it to the power BEFORE it enters the light switch, but not after (controlled by) the light switch.

I don't think so. I think it would need to be hard wired. We did not end up using it as it was too large for the table we were putting it over, so we never plugged it in/wired it

This light is controlled by a wall switch. It has to be hard wired into a light box in the wall that is wired to the wall switch circuit.
