What do I need to do to get this to be able to be plugged into an electrical outlet?

I used the enclosed power cube with wires and spliced the wires to a three-prong power cord. Match the colors on the wires of the power cube to the colors of the wires in the power cord. You can buy a power cord or just cut the end off of an existing one. The splice won't fit in the power cover supplied so it can't be used for this purpose. It's ugly but functional.

This lighting is on a track with wiring in the center. The unit is directly wired into an electric box via this central wiring. It is then on a switch. My unit is not a plug in unit.

It is meant to be hard wired in to a ceiling fixture (e.g. with a junction box). It is not meant to plug into an electrical outlet.

wire an extension cord into the light wiring inside the case that fits next to the ceiling. then install a in line switch in the extension. plug the extension into the wall and toggle you in line switch to turn the fix on and off.

Usually these are mounted on the ceiling and wired to a wall switch. They run on 120V AC power. If you do now have a wire to where these are to be placed you may need to contact an electrician. The one I ordered was a replacement for an older track light so the wire was already in the ceiling.

You should remove the existing socket cover so you have something to screw the outlets into... might be possible to remove the screw from the current outlet and screw this in, but is not designed to be used as such...

you need to have access to 120v outlet; unit comes with transformer which plugs into 120v outlet and connects by small wire to the unit.

This had to be hard wired. I also thought it might be able to be plugged in but no. However, I bought a plug and used the wiring to add the plug and it worked fine.

An electrician would be helpful. It is hard wired and not just a plug in. My step dad is an electrician and said it is very simple so its not a big ordeal.

it must be plugged into a wall socket. Or if you have a power inverter you could use a 12vt outlet. It does not have a battery in it.

You either need to hardwire it or get a pigtail to plug it in. I suggest hardwiring it.

No, unfortunately, it cannot be plugged in to an outlet. We had to have our electrician wire it for us.

I plug it into a heavy-duty surge strip but I am not certain that is the way to do it.

I'm not an electrician but I think it would be difficult to turn this into a plug in unit.

You can plug it into a computer, or use adapter and plug it into the wall electrical socket. Thanks debbie

There should be 2 parts to the plug, def a 3 prong plug should've been included.. U should call their customer service..

If you already have the outlet, can it be plugged in? I see one answer to plug in.

If the previous answer does not solve the problem, imo you must return it. But also try something else in the outlet you are using to ensure there is voltage.

There is a cord on it it to plug into an outlet. I had an electrician take out an over head light out and install an outlet

Of course the electrical socket has to be plugged into an outlet. I did use an adapter for the first cart electrical socket then just plugged the second cart to it. I purchased 2 - great space saver!Had no problems.

plug it into an outlet using a usb cord (came with it) and plug (did not come with unit) that connects withthe usb
