No, this is the battery operated model. It comes with 3 "AA" batteries. Hope this helps.

I don't think this one does..."Battery powered, provides protection even during power outages". You do have to be careful though as I bought the battery powered version and wanted the hard-wired. The hard-wired version should be explicitly described as so.

No, it is battery operated. They did have a more expensive model that had a 10 year battery but it was to expensive for my budget.

It has to be hard wired but you can get a plug adapter to plug into an outlet if you need to.

Can be either. Does come with what you need to hardwire, should you wish to do so.

Yes, I bought two and hard wired in junction boxes. I think it has to be hard wired - don't remember a plug.

I am very satisfied with this rope lighting; but I put mine up on the edge of my cabinets over my sink and plugged it in. I wouldn't know whether it could be hard wired or not. It is a standard plug. Hope this helps.

No it has to be hard wired. If you need it to be a plug in an electrician could convert it

No they do not have to be hardwired into your house. You can just start it,plug in whatever, and good to go.

Doesn't need to be hard wired. Just attach it with a couple of screws to something solid and nearby. Very handy item.

Yes it is hardwired. Yes you turn it off & on with the chain. I did change it to a plug in simply by attaching a cord I purchased at Home Depot.

No, it needs to be directly wired into a new set of wiring, or what I did, which is install on existing wiring. It isn't designed to be plugged in.

There is a plug for hardwired connections, yes. It's a three wire if you need...

It must be hard wired, because it comes with no cord to plug in to electrical outlet.

It needs to be hard wired. However, if you want to plug it into the wall you can buy a plug at a hardware store to convert it.

It will need to be hard wired, recessed inside the wall between the studs. It does come with mounting hardware.
