I need to plug a G4 LED into a socket that I can plug into the wall. Is this what I should get? Can I just splice it into a wall cord?

The G4 bulbs are direct LED replacements for halogens as I understand it. I believe that, like the halogens, the G4's are for low voltage (12 volt) like landscape or marine lighting, not line voltage (120 volt) applications. Whatever base/socket you use you'd need a transformer to convert to the correct voltage. I think this base would work as the prongs of the G4 lamp will fit into any connector that takes an MR11 or MR16 halogen bulb.

They may make a variety of connectors but the one I bought is a ceramic disc with holes for two pins and wiring leads for a landscape type fixture. The bulb I use is a MR16. There is also a notation for GU5.3 on the bulb package. I don't know what it means.

I use these sockets to make 12 volt exterior lights. The wire that comes on these sockets is very thin. I would not try to run 110 volts thru them. I hope this helps.

No these are for plugging in 2-prong halogens (MR-11 or MR-16) The other end gets hard-wired into the ceiling.

This is just a 4-strand, color coded wire bundle. You will need to install the correct connection fittings and if you are connecting more than two strings of LED's you will need to use a transformer. I don't have info on what one to use, but if read the product info they will tell you how may strings can be piggy-backed and the transformer needed for addition lines.

No, you have to wire it in. It's a great light, though. I used it to replace an out door light that didn't work too well. You can have a professional do it or if you have a wire running to the area, just hook up the ground, hot, and neutral wires using wire nuts. After you finish, it might be a good idea to put silicon around the base where it meets the wall.

Depends on the connection. If the regular LED has the 4-pin connection im sure it will work fine. Ive never actually tried with regular LED so not 100% sure but in theory, WHY NOT!

The question as posed implies cutting off the power supply plug and hard wiring the wire into a conventional light switch which would be a no no because the plug-in power supply in this package contains a transformer to reduce the voltage to 12 Volts. This really isn't the right package if one wants to control the lights from a dedicated wall switch. I would suggest the customer go direct to InspiredLED.com. I can't overstate how easy it is to deal with people on line. They'll fix you up in no time once they have an idea what your wishes are. Send them dimensions and ideally a photo(s) of where you want lights and they will return it with a worked up layout, parts list and costing.

If you want to plug these into the wall, better to just get the Bundle of 2 GXP1400 models (much cheaper). They are identical but aren't PoE powered.

The cord shown is an auto adapter, which did not come with mine in July (and was not shown in the picture at the time). Maybe they added it to the kit later. No cord is required to plug it into a wall socket.

As shipped, this is intended to be hardwired to a junction box located in your wall. There is a small u shaped metal piece that attached to the junction box flush to the wall and then the fixture attaches to the u-shaped piece--a rather standard application. Also note, this uses the small based, candelabra bulbs. That being said, if you know who how to wire a lamp, this fixture lends its self toward a plug-in conversation quite easily, which is what I did. Rather than wiring to the wallbox, I added a long cord instead to the light. I then mounted the u-shaped piece directly to the wall with screws. I attached the light fixture and plugged in the cord, works and looks fine. This is an easy conversion, the only additional items needed are a long extension cord and some electrical knowhow.

You have to get the connectors and then splice it into the correct wire colors. If you dont want to buy the connectors, you could always match the wire location to the solder point on one LED strip, then match the connection you made with the next LED strip. Thats how i do it and it works just fine. Just be careful of bending the solder points to much. They could break the connection causing the LED strip to not work on one side or maybe one color not showing.

Not that i know, your led probably has two wires a black or white which will connect to the v- and a red to the v+. also you will need a power cord which you can cut off the female plug and conect the black or red wire to L and white to the N and the green to the one with the circle and lines inside the circle (ground). hope that was helpful

Your house runs on alternating current, AC. The LED lights run on direct current, DC. Thus , there has to be a gizmo to convert AC from your house outlet to DC for the lights. Sometimes they're called power supplies and sometimes they're called transformers. In any event, you need the gizmo that goes between the LEDs and the AC outlet in your house. The DC end of the gizmo is a cylindrical fitting that receives the lead wire from the LEDs. The other end of the gizmo has a normal two-prong plug that plugs into the wall. So that the lights don't glow all the time, there has to be a switch in the circuit somewhere and that depends on your particular situation. You may be plugging into a wall outlet that already has a switch in the circuit. If that's the case, you don't have to do anything more. If that is not the case, you'll have to install a switch between the AC plug from the gizmo and the wall outlet.

Some come with the plugs attached. Others come iii th just the wires bare so you can wire kt with the plug you need per your geographic. They are 110/220 as that depends on your location if US standard or euro wiring. I personally just used a 2 wire extension cord as my wiring. The ground wire isnt really necessary for led so complaints of it not being hooked up within the casing are pointless. There isnt the amperage draw tk require a ground. But I have also wired them to include it connected. As for lumen rating I have seen them listed with it, but it depends on the seller as to how descriptive they get.

Well what you could do is take an old usb cord and a small usb power brick which could work which is what i tried or u could just buy an led power supply but i mean itt can be a hassle

I saw a Dimmable LED 3.5 Watt G4 Light Bulb on http://www.lampsplus.com/ , but have not tested it yet. Amazon also seems to carry a good number of LED G4's but hard to tell if they will fit through the lily-pad openings. Still have plenty of old halogen lights laying around.

Putting LED bulbs in let's you use less power from the transformer. Looks the same too. Get the most for your money on the transformer. You may want to expand.

My light had the old pull cord on the side but the Wireless switch worked wonders. I've seen other reviewers indicate that they've used it even when a light switch was included. Frankly, I think if you leave the wall switch on, you should be able to then splice in the wireless switch between it and the light itself.
