If I'm trying to install this where there isn't wiring in the wall, can I hook it up to a wall outlet plug?

Would this work if I wanted to plug it into a wall without wiring?Westinghouse #70100 8' White Cord Set

It is not designed for that. You would need to install a wire with a plug onto the unit.

Not directly, no. But it's easy if you just get a good quality extension cord long enough to reach the wall outlet, cut off the female end, split the two wires (carefully remove the rubber coating exposing the wires) and use plastic twist plugs and black electrical tape to connect them to the wires on the light unit. That's what I did several years ago; I placed it above a tall (9') bookcase and plugged it into a power strip that plugs into the wall outlet; it still works great.

Yes... But You will need to wire it in the male plug anyway. I don't recommend (for esthetic) that but is you can if you want to, there is no special connections to do this, just grab a male plug and put the black in the black, white in the white ground in the ground, tape it using black tape and that's it.

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.

Yes it could plug into wall socket or be used with extension cord, but has no USB connection.

No, but not for the reasons you'd think - Notice there is no screw in the center of the unit- it just plugs into the wall. It's reasonably easy to yank off the wall, which would expose the wall's outlet. A screw in model would be better

Yes you need to plug it into the wall outlet. It's a great product and cheap.

Install it the same way the old one was installed, if there was no outlet you don't have to use the red wire you can leave it capped with a wire nut, the red will also go where the black wire goes, if there are 2 screws, in one you hook the black on the other the red, but I recommend the first choice capping the red wire.

You would need to install a plug on the end of the wires. The best and neatest way is to wire this directly into an electric box. This would probably require an electrician.

this unit has to be hard wired. no plug. i remove the old one and installed this one in it's place if you are handy, it is not a hard job. it really looks nice when it's installed.

You do need somewhere to plug in the power, so if you don't have an outlet within reach of the cable (which is pretty long) you will have to install one.

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.

If you had a USB wall charger, or an outlet with a USB port that would work, but otherwise, it doesn't have a regular plug to it.

I replaced my old wall outlet with this one. I hooked up existing wiring and attached it. Idk if you need anything else.

The short answer is "no" since it isn't designed for that. There are no holes to screw through it into the wall. If you already have a wall plug that is nearby, your best bet would be to get a replacement outlet that increases the number of plugs available. Although you could surely find some means for attaching this to a wall, I would not recommend it because of possible safety issues.

Physically, yes you can BUT building codes prevent you from running usual appliance power cords through walls , I guess they are not rated for in-wall use. I've had to have an electrician install a (sunken) outlet behind the TV. IMHO it's worth the expense for peace of mind.

You will need it hard wired by an electrician. It works very well when installed and doesn't take up much wall space.

It could. It didn't come with wire or a plug but it's VERY simple. If you have ever replaced an outlet or the plug end of a cord you can install this.
