You can plug this in directly to a 3 prong outlet if you don't wish to screw it in, correct?

That is correct. You do not have to screw it in. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with. ThanksRND

I would not recommend doing so. Removing the grounding prong can result in an electrical hazard.

No. Two prong. For this type of appliance a three-prong plug is not required. It is polarized - one prong is bigger than the other.

Both ends are 3-prong plugs. A 2-prong could be plugged into it but need a 3-prong wall connect.

Yes, a three prong extension cord is strongly recommended vs. a two prong with an adapter which can be dangerous.

The lamp has 2 prongs. It's totally OK to plug it into a 3 prong strip. If an electrical appliance is all plastic on the outside, you don't get a third prong. You don't need it. You get everything you need with just 2-prongs, even if you plug into a 3-prong strip. Not to worry.The folks that let you tie into great big power sources do try to keep you out of trouble. If you can plug something in, without cheating, it's ok, go for it.

No, if you unscrew the top of the silver handle, you will find two prongs which you can plug directly into a wall outlet and charge it that way.

It is a 3-prong. It is a grounded outlet, so it has to have 3-prong. It is a great outlet.

Yes, only two prong plugs are accomodated in the lamp control (which is a dimmer outlet). Presumably, they don't want people plugging in appliances/electronics that routinely use grounding plugs (most lamps don't). If you really want to use this with a grounded plug, you can by an adapter (like the AXIS 45086 3-Prong to 2-Prong Electrical Adapter - 2 Pack) which eliminates the 3rd prong, but if you want to truly ground the lamp, you'll need to solder a wire to the adapter's ground lug, then wrap it (or put a lug on other end of wire) to one of the screws that holds the Decora wall plate to the outlet. If you're not going to bother to actually ground the adapter, you could also just cut the ground prong off your lamp plug instead.

The only reason for a 3-prong plug is safety for appliances witha metallic cover - the 2-prong plug will plug into your 3-prong socket with no trouble at all. That includes any kind of extension cord.

The unit has three prongs that plug into the wall outlet. It probably could be used with the proper three-to-two prong adapter.

I really wish I could answer your question but the link provided does does not bring up any product. I do think that this product was designed specifically to plug into a 3 prong wall outlet.

This is a 3 prong meaning it has the grounding prong. Any retailer or hardware store has the adapter that converts a 3-plug prong to a 2-plug prong but I would advise you check with an electrician before you consider this method. Hope this helps answer your question

No. It has three vice two prongs. My wife who attempted to use it just bought a 2-prong outlet/converter (which is required. also) on the local economy.

It is 3 prong where it goes into the wall. The picture is bad, you are right. It's a very sturdy plug but only good if you don't need to actually adapt the outlet to take 3 prongs instead of 2.

Sure, the third prong is optional. Mine is in use with a two pronged lamp and it works great.

It does plug into a regular 3 prong (one being the ground) outlet... They work like a charm... I have 4 of them..
