can this light be hard wired into a wall outlet behind the painting, instead of plugging into a wall outlet?

You could cut the cord and hard wire it but since the on/off switch is on the cord you would no longer be able to turn the light off.

unless the outdoor outlet is cover you should run a wire from inside. Getting the plug wet while it's plugged in could short out the outlet and potentially damage the lights. Hope this was helpful!

Ours is plugged in but from the manufactuer's information, it appears that it can also be hard wired - " Using the included metal cord cover, this fixture can be plugged directly in to a standard wall receptacle or can be mounted to a junction box with no cord or cover showing."

Yes you plug it in, no need to have an electrician hard wire a light for you. It works very well.

My son is a licensed electrician and he states it is designed to wire into an electrical box in the ceiling. It does not have a long enough wire to plug into the wall. It would require rewiring the entire light, but - of course - it would void the manufacturers warranty.

It is intended to be hard wired, providing only short wire connections from the circuit board to wire nut on to. However, I suppose you could connect an extension cord to it and plug it in. However, the plug would need to be accessible per NEC, you cannot use an outlet/plug connection behind a wall or other inaccessible location.

Yes it uses a regular outlet, I.e., you don't have to get an electrician to direct wire it. I mounted mine on te ceiling and the ran an extension cord from the fixture across the ceiling and covered the extension cord with some 2x2 wood that I painted and routed out. Hope this helps.

I'm not an electrician but...I don't see why it would not be possible. The plate that attaches to the wall is plenty big enough to cover any box inside the wall, if you were to use one(advisable). The cord would need to be rerouted, of course, leaving a hole at the bottom of the plate. It could be filled using a dark brown caulk. An electrician could do it although some may not want to since it may not be Kosher. All that being said, this is a really nice lamp. Much better quality than I expected and worth a little more money than the light weight cheap stuff we usually get from across the Pacific pond.

This sconce is only for wiring inside the wall, and you can't plug it into standard outlet. You can rewire yourself for plug into outlet, as it has openings on top and bottom of sconce, but it would be not by code and not advisable. I hope it helped.

I am sure you could do that. The plug on it is just a basic plug with a power switch. The patterns are controlled with a button on the light it's self. Just use caution and make sure you know for sure what wire is hot and ground

I hardwired the lamp; however the other option is to plug it into a wall outlet.

Absolutely, you will take a three wire circuit from existing lighting circuit. Use a 4" square box to mount to wall

No. These lights are meant to hard wire directly. A cord can be attached to these easily if needed.

Wiring is meant to be installed from the back of the plate. The fixture is also meant to be fastened to an electrical wall-box via a bracket hidden behind the plate and fastened by two knurl-headed screws from the front of the plate through the provided screw-holes on the left and right sides. If you fashion a way to hold the fixture to the wall - perhaps simply two brass wood screws or toggle-bolts - and cut a notch in the edge of the plate to accept the raceway and cord, I don't see why that wouldn't work just fine. Note, though, that there is no switch on this fixture - the power needs to be controlled from elsewhere, like a wall switch or some such.

Yes, it will plug into a regular wall outlet. Highly recommend this model. Has been operating fine for about a year with same bulb and I notice a difference in air quality/smell. Hardest part is cutting the hole. The rest is easy.

I have seen some similar fixtures that have a switch button built into the wall plate. This fixture does not have this feature and can only be operated by hardwiring to a wall switch.

No this chandelier does not plug into an electrical outlet - it is a lighting fixture that has to be wired into the ceiling.
