Does this lamp have to be installed by an electrician or can it be hung up and plugged in like a swag lamp? Thank you.

My husband installed it as an electrician would. It isn't a swag lamp. Hope that helps.

this unit has to be hard wired. no plug. i remove the old one and installed this one in it's place if you are handy, it is not a hard job. it really looks nice when it's installed.

Your lamp probably needs to be hardwired into a recessed box. If you want to put a plug on it, it's not difficult. If you don't feel comfortable with that, ask someone qualified to help you. It's really not difficult but something you need to make sure is correct.

Mine just plugs in. I put it as my closet lighting. It's very pretty an looks like real glass once it's hug an lit.

Mine did not come with a plug; it's intended to be hung from a ceiling outlet box and hard wired into a switched light circuit.

It is designed to be wired into a ceiling fixture. An electrician could wire a plug to the cord so that it could be plugged into an outlet, but the cord length may be an issue.

... it doesn't come with any plug or hangar - I used it to replace an existing hanging lamp so was able to use the cord/chain/hangar from that one - I guess they expect this lamp to be installed by a "qualified electrician" - hard-wired - I'm not one, but it was fairly simple to do myself.

It is designed to be plugged in. It has a cord not visible in the picture. (It is a great little personal lamp.)

This lamp can be mounted flush to a wall (you would have to cut a hole in drywall, run wire behind wall and install a box) or, you can just put two anchors in drywall and hang this lamp on the wall. They provide a power cord to use for external mount

No. If you really like this fixture, I suggest you have an electrician install it. I think it's great the way it is ! (swags are over-rated !)

Hi, Maybe I can help. The lamp plugs directly into the wall outlet via a very, very long circular, "lamp cord" with a three-pronged plug at the end. The lamp cord is about as thick as the one used by my cable company to wire my cable TV system. It is also less flexible than a typical lamp cord. To attach the lamp to the ceiling the company includes a metal hook that you screw directly into the ceiling, sort of like the hooks you use to hang a plant (only less decorative), AND a three inch long "S" shaped piece of plastic with a small hole at one end. To attach the lamp to the ceiling, first screw in the metal hook. Then, attach the "S" shaped plastic piece to the hook using the small hole on the end. Finally, you thread the lamp cord "in" and "out" of the "S" shaped piece of plastic. The lamp is held in place by the tension created by "threading" the lamp cord through the "S" shaped piece of plastic. Sorry for being "long-winded", but I hoped this helps. BTW, I use mine in my bedroom suspended above the end table with a 40 watt yellow light bulb, and I like it very much. Also, it is very utilitarian looking, not fancy. I happen to like that look.

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.

I'm not an electrician but I'm sure it could be hardwired. It is not a cheap lamp, it is very heavy and well made.

It comes with a three prong plug. You can still cut off the three prong plug and wire into your electrical but you are still going to have the issue of securing the lamp to the already existing base in the wall. I returned mine back to the vendor because I could not use the existing base in my exterior wall to secure this lamp.

This fixture comes, to hang as a ceiling fixture, only. Not configured to use as a plug in chain light.

hello, thank you for the question and interest. This lamp needs to be wired into ceiling. But, you can wire a plug onto the end if desired.

No, it's not plug in. I'm renting too, though, I just had someone from taskrabbit.com install it and saved the old chandelier to reinstall upon the time I move out.
