I'm looking for a light like this to put above bed to be plugged into wall outlet would this light do that?

Our light was ready for hard wire. But I think it would look nice by a bed.

Really designed for outdoor use, and the shade is rather large diameter for bedroom wall mounting. You would also need to modify the wire leads to connect to an outlet; they are designed to connect via wire nuts to existing house wiring.

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 does for me on an outlet that I control with a switch. Should work the same with a timer. It's been a great accent light for us.

Need to be creative to be able to do that. You may clamp the light onto fixtures on the wall. A direct wall mounting light would be a better option.

Absolutely not. Just the opposite, the light has USB ports on it. But it requires a house 110v receptacle. BTW, it is a great light.

It does plug into a standard outlet. It will work. It could have trouble keeping up with the lights depending on current draw from the lights.

Absolutely. But it will only illuminate with whichever wattage the lamp is set to. The lamp is always switched on and the controller varies the power between the wall and the lamp.

No. It works like a regular indoor ceiling light and needs to be turn on and off with a string.

yes the light will adjust in any position and is quite bright. also if you have a battery pack that plugs into the wall it can also serve as emergency lighting during power outages

You should be able to make it work . a cord from lights plugs into switch then another cord from switch to outlet so I think it will be fine

If your wall cabinet projects out from the wall like a kitchen cabinet and the light can be mounted to the bottom ans is somewhat concealed it would probably work OK. I wpuld not mount it on a wall exposed to view. Also be ready to change batteries about once a month if you uset it frequently. JerryB

Probably. Would check with manufacturer. Mine is plenty bright but we installed it above a sink.

I haven't tried that but we lost electric power not long ago, and it certainly lit up our living room. We've only used it once, and we are very satisfied with it.I think it would be bright enough but again, I haven't tried it for that purpose.

It would depend on how much light you want. It will light up a room but not real bright, probably in the range of a 25-40 watt light.

I think if you put the light away from bed pointing at it it will work well. The light is adjustable and can be very bright. Hope this helps.

not as it is designed, but if you are on the tecinal side you could go inside of it and rewire it (not reccommended ) your best bet is to order a solar powered led work light if you want something to stay on all the time

I rewired mine to make it a plug in then added a extension cord dimmer switch and it lights up the room very well. I have it as a hanging chandelier over a lounge chair that I use for reading so I needed the brightness. I am sure it will give you the brightness you are looking for but the dimmer gives it more flexibility.
