if you use a lumen LED bulb in a table lamp, must the lamp be plugged into an electric outlet for the light to work?

The lightbulb isn't battery powered. If you have it in a lamp, it must be plugged in and turned in the on position for the light bulb to be able to sync to your phone (if iPhone you need at least an iPhone4s to work).

The lamp is hard wired. There is no plug. If you would like to plug it into an outlet, you will need to convert it. Hope this helps.

The USB port is meant for charging other devices (aka, plug a phone charger into the lamp). As far as I know, it serves only as a power out, not in. Also, the lamp doesn't run on batteries and needs to be plugged into an outlet. Hope that helps :)

Yes! I use an LED light that I have and I have no problems with it at all! Works just fine for me!

I believe if you have a lamp with 220V the circuit should manage the amount of power going thru the bulb itself. But I can be wrong. Might be better to check with manufacturer.

yes. you always leave the lamp / fixture on and control it with the switch you stick on the wall. they also sell a plug / receptacle control that you plug into the wall and then plug your lamp into that.

Plug in. I wouldn't recommend these lamps at all. They are lightweight and cheap. And the the 3 way brightness doesn't work. Buy something else!

Yes. There is a USB cable, and an adapter, that lets you plug the USB cable into an outlet. As a bonus, the adapter has two Female USB ports, so you can plug the lamp and one other thing into the same outlet.

This devise works by plugin in outlet, if your main light is connected to outlet then only this will work, otherwise not.

No.....it plugs into an electric socket. Works real well, overall.....although one spotlight went out, right away. I haven't really needed that spotlight, however, so have not gotten it checked out yet....

Yes. You plug the light into the ballast and the ballast into the outlet. If you're gonna use a timer make sure it's a 15 amp.

If the light is a plug in, yes. I don't know if it works with fluorescent or LED bulbs though.

Simply put the lamp plug into the wall outlet after you install thelamp to the wall and let there be light! Easy......

If your outlet has a ballast in it, you can not just plug it in. The light requires 110 VAC directly. It does come with an adapter, but I was not sure how to use the adapter, so I eliminated the adapter and wired it directly to 110 VAC. The directions were very hard to read and were written in very poor English, so I ignored them. Perhaps they are better now...

No, it must be connected to the eletrical connection in the ceiling. Unless you were to splice an outlet cable to the lamp's wire & run it across the ceiling & down the wall to plug it into an outlet.

Yes it will plug into a standard outlet. I would not reccomend using it or outdoors. The sun would be much more effective and it isn't built to be used outside. The ballets regulates the power delivery and keeps the wattage at exactly what the bulb calls for. This extends bulb life and efficiency.

No, just plug it into an outlet you would plug a lamp into; assuming you live in the U.S. I cannot vouch for other countries, I am not familiar with their voltages.
