Can this be installed in a regular outside outlet? Not a plugin but attached so when I turn light on in the building sign will come on?

This is not meant for exterior application so I would not use it, nor plug it in at an exterior outlet.

if you have outlets wired to a switch inside a building [much like house outlets for Xmas lights] then you should be able to to do that. The AC cord has a rocker switch to turn light on and off. I found the rocker switch to be of poor quality and I need to find a better replacement. Sign itself has been reliable and clear to see. It's not weather proof by any means. Hope that helps.

Sorry, I just got back to read my emails. This item is ok if you want to wire your garden area with special wiring for this type of light. I didn't read all the information about it and wanted a plug in to the outlet type. So I am going to eat this one for now. Maybe one day I might wire my whole backyard to have this type of lighting system. Sorry I could not help you more. Good luck.

There is a requirement for an installed plug. The units come with two switches, one is off and on the other is three way dim to bright. You have to have on/off switch for safety reasons. The wires are very thin. Hope this helps.

Yes, these can be connected to a standard wall plug. I have installed them as deck lighting as well as in stairs.

Standard plug, I would not recommend using this product outdoors, is it going to be used in a greenhouse if so it should be ok just keep the ballast off the ground, the ballast convert's the standard plug of the light (which is not 12 volt) into a 12 volt which is your standard wall outlet no ballast no power, I love this unit but it gets freaking hot. If you have not used this lighting before you may want to start with a 600 watt which requires no ballast produces far less heat and requires less energy, still I wouldn't use either product outdoors any more questions just ask happy to help

Sorry I can't answer that because mine is not installed. I use it for power in my van and it is set up to just plug in when I need it. When I don't need it it is rolled up in a canvas bag. I love parking in the shade and this way I can roll it out in the sun.

Yes, if using outdoor, please use an extension cord with GFCI circuit protector, which is available in your local Home Depot or Ace Hardware Store.

Yes. It needs to be hooked up to AC. It has built-in battery backup so that if power goes out, the light and sign can stay on on battery power only.

This lamp is designed to be permanently wired into a ceiling fixture. It doesn't necessarily require an electrician. But, straight out of the box, there is no way to plug it into a wall outlet.

No, it is hard wired and installed on an octagon or round normal electrical box. It is a really nice little light and mine is mounted in my soffit and shines on my address number above my garage. Mine is wired to switch on with my other outside up/down lights on both sides of my garage door. It's great!!!

Our outdoor plugins have a flip up cover so it doesn't look like a outlet. All ours are pretty low to the ground so we used a really long outdoor extension cord to ours by our front door.

Negative. I had to splice it into existing wiring that I already had from a regular ceiling light. This worked for me because this chandelier acts as our entry light and is connected to a wall switch. Wouldn't be hard to actually slice in a plug though if that's what you need.

The switch on this one can't be worked into a normal wall outlet. It is configured to be supported by a battery. There are similar switches out there that can be installed in standard wall fixtures and can even pull power from the switch box. This is not one of them.

Hello it is possible to use a plug, but it is not necessary because the light is LED, which lasts a considerable time with the battery. Of course, an electrician can certainly hard wire it for you, which I had done in our previous house . The one I had previously had one more angle of use, which I liked, but I have not seen that recently when I looked. It pulls out 12". You may wish to tape it into position while you decide on the most convenient height and location.

The outlet has no GFI so using it outside even in a weatherproof box may be a code violation unless the supply feeding the outlet is a GFI breaker. You might need a phase link depending on what devices and phases are in use as the wireless signal to an external outlet might not be good enough. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes, there is a small transformer that plugs into a regular outlet. I have installed the lights at a computer work station and they work great.
