Can you hard wire something to the remote outlet? I want to hard wire undercabinet lighting but I want to control it via remote.Thanks

Not sure, but doubt it. You probably want the In-LineLinc or the Micro On/Off Module.

Look at Insteon or X10 technologies. Insteon has outlets you can control from your smartphone or set up on timers to automatically turn on or off. You can also use Motion sensors with the technology to turn devices on when someone enters a room.

As long as the device you intended to control is 120vac and the current consumed is equal or less of the rated outlet. You are free to connect any device you want.

If you wired a heavy duty line cord to your under cabinet lighting and plugged into the remote outlet I believe that would work. Do not exceed the rated current of the switched outlet.

Yes, we did. We actually made a "swag" lamp out of it. My husband is an electrical contractor and put a plate on the ceiling from which the lamp hangs then ran the rest of the chain to the wall to a hook then let the chain hang from there. So we purchased the ceiling plate, long chain with the wire including a switch and a hook all in dark bronze. What he did inside the box is for an electrician. In addition, because the switch is at the bottom of the chain/wire we got a "wireless" switch. That plugs in the wall, then you plug the lamp into it. The remote switch sits on the the table under the lamp where we can easily reach it from out chairs. Hope this helps.

Have an existing DC light in RV. Any advice whether I could hard wire this Gold Longlife to other light's power (about two feet away)?

It comes with a wiring kit that includes a switch to use if you need one. So you can either hardwire it to a separately switched circuit or you can hard wire it to a circuit using the included switch, or you can plug it in to an outlet and use the switch that is provided with the wiring kit. The light and wiring kit is very versatile and allows many configurations.

No option to hardwire is included with the lamp. I ended up painting the trailing cords the same color as my wall color, as these lights are above my sofa with a large picture in between them. This worked out well for me, as I love these wall lamps!

Hi Art, I had an electrician run a wire and install an outdoor, weather protection covered, outdoor GFI power outlet on exterior wall. I plugged the heater's power cord into it. Don't hard wire it, as it's handy to be able to unplug the heater when you need to service or repair it. Make it a "two gang" outlet so you can use the other socket for other purposes. If you're asking about a back-up source of power in the event of a complete power outage, I'm not sure what to use for that. Amazon reviews mention using power back-up that's used for computers. The controller was included in box. It looks like a remote, but it is wired to the heater. The wire are not long enough to attach the controller to the wall. So it's just dangling under the heater. I'll need to figure out a way to attach it to the wall.

I am very satisfied with this rope lighting; but I put mine up on the edge of my cabinets over my sink and plugged it in. I wouldn't know whether it could be hard wired or not. It is a standard plug. Hope this helps.

NO< NO< NO>. This kit comes complete with three way dimmer and on/off switch built in transducer that reduces/changes the to low voltage. Similar to the small diode lights on a xmas tree. Attempting to hardwire would cause a fire.

You can hardwire but you must use the transformer in between. I just plugged mine into an outlet that I have a wireless remote for so I could turn it on and off without plugging and unplugging.

The standard wiring that comes with the unit is not designed to be hard wired, but if you have electrical know how, you can make the alterations successfully. I am not sure how that would impact any electrical code compliance. As for dimming, the instructions warn the user NOT to use it with a dimming circuit.

Have any of you used all these 3 outlets in one room? I wish there were 3 outlets and 3 remotes. If I have to walk around carrying the remote wherever the outlet is installed, what is the purpose of the remote?I bought a similar product at Menards for $9.99 to use in the bedroom to switch off the lamp.

The units I bought were hard wired. They were designed for a single power cable to supply each unit unless the units were connected end to end. It was very difficult to wire a unit so that one wire supplied the unit and a second cable left the unit to go back into the wall and on to another unit. The size of the cut-out for the cable was designed for a single cable and the units are compact and do not have much room inside for extra wire. However, it is doable. We are happy with the light quality and brightness. Would use again.

NO , sorry you will have to push 2 buttons. You could, if you really wanted to, wire the two lamps together. Also note these are too big to use 2 on one outlet , you have to use a power strip. These are well made and work very well. I have 6 , one by itself, 5 on one remote (5 buttons) sitting next to my recliner and I love them. Hope this helps.

Don't know what your particular use of the light kit will be, but I used them on my kitchen cabinets. Was able to use the outlet behind the refrigerator for one set; dishwasher outlet under the sink for another and had an outlet installed in the wall when the house was built which ended up inside the end cabinet for the 3rd string. Don't think wiring direct is a good option. What plugs in the wall is the transformer to step down the voltage. It's about 3 inches long and 1 inch square. From there a 4' (approx.)cord plugs into another little white box that powers the light strip and controls the remote sensor which has to peek out somewhere to receive the signal from the remote. They're not that noticable. Hiding all this by taping to the back of the fridge for one and to the inside walls of the cabinets, keeping out of the way of sliding drawers, etc. It might be best to just install an outlet inside a cabinet. I'm very pleased with my results. The remote works great and you can control the brightness of the lights. One other thing....when installing the light strip itself, some times the sticky backside doesn't stick so well. For those problem areas, I put a thin bead of super glue on it and taped it up with a narrow (1/4") strip of gorilla tape. No more problem. Sorry this answer is so long, but I hope it helps. Have a great day!

As I recall, no cords came with my lights. I sent them back. Most undercabinet led lights plug into outlet. One could easily hide the cord inside the wall and tie into the wires in a junction box. Might take a few extra hours.

Hi Michael, sorry but I'm not sure I understand your question. To me, the "remote" is the actual part that looks like the light switch and that is what turns it on and off. The other part of the package plugs into a regular outlet and then you just plug into that whatever it is you're wanting to use the on/off switch for. I hope I answered your question. Recap: plug the "plug" part into the nearest outlet then plug in your appliance into that and put your "light switch" wherever you want it. Remember to pull out any protective battery terminal strip that they may use to stop battery drain.This is written by A.

That has GOT to be one of the most interesting ideas I have ever heard of! Try this Don, take the wires from one of those lights that have a remote switch, and place female ends where it connected to the light, and the switch. If you do this; I'll buy one, seeing as how it's such a unique and great idea! Thanks, Garrin! I wish I had thought of it!
