Is it easy to alter this fixture to be hard wired?

The one thing that I don't like is that the hanging wire is exposed. I was looking for a cover over it. I am in new construction, so can put anything - even a wire cover over. I have found a curtain rod that will fit over the wire and hope that will work. Unfortunate that it is such an great light fixture and the wire is exposed!

You will have to remove the socket and hard-wire this fixture to the electric source. You may be able to find an adapter to give you plain wires from a screw-on socket though.

Easy if you are replacing the old ones, 2 wires and a ground wire. If this is a new install, as opposed to a replacement, you will probably need the services of an electrician. We love ours.

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!!!

It was very easy. We (husband and I) took down old light and screwed this one onto the fixture support. FYI: Consider that it might be easier to attach the heavy hanging jewels AFTER you mount it. They swing around and add quite a bit of weight. This would mean spending some time reaching up to attach them though. Love this chandelier!

As shipped, this is intended to be hardwired to a junction box located in your wall. There is a small u shaped metal piece that attached to the junction box flush to the wall and then the fixture attaches to the u-shaped piece--a rather standard application. Also note, this uses the small based, candelabra bulbs. That being said, if you know who how to wire a lamp, this fixture lends its self toward a plug-in conversation quite easily, which is what I did. Rather than wiring to the wallbox, I added a long cord instead to the light. I then mounted the u-shaped piece directly to the wall with screws. I attached the light fixture and plugged in the cord, works and looks fine. This is an easy conversion, the only additional items needed are a long extension cord and some electrical knowhow.

Sorry, I can't help. I used this fixture in a rental unit and it is wired to use the switch on the fixture onlyMy guess is that if it is hardwired to the wall switch you will need to keep the fixture on and just use the wall switch. That is true with lamps that are plugged into a wall outlet that is wired to a wall switch.

This is a wall fixture and has a switch i had an electrician install it but could easily be installed to replace and existing wall fixture.

As it comes, the chandelier must be hard wired into a ceiling electrical box. I imagine with more wire and chain it could be changed to a swag/plug into socket fixture.

The question as posed implies cutting off the power supply plug and hard wiring the wire into a conventional light switch which would be a no no because the plug-in power supply in this package contains a transformer to reduce the voltage to 12 Volts. This really isn't the right package if one wants to control the lights from a dedicated wall switch. I would suggest the customer go direct to InspiredLED.com. I can't overstate how easy it is to deal with people on line. They'll fix you up in no time once they have an idea what your wishes are. Send them dimensions and ideally a photo(s) of where you want lights and they will return it with a worked up layout, parts list and costing.

Sorry, I don't know what hard wiring means. I don't yet have it installed as the instructions were very minimal, and only one of the wires is color-coded. Have hired a handyman to install this week.

This lamp is made to be hardwired. Doesn't come with swag chain but if you buy more chain, an electrician can modify it easily.

Yep if you have a normal 4 prong plug to hook it up to . Or you can hard wire ..it took me about 20 min to install ..looks and works great

It is a plug in so you can see the cord which has a turn on/off switch on it..not sure if it can be hard wired. My lamps on each side of a headboard which is also black..not very noticeable.

This chandelier needs to be hard wired by an electrician or someone who has experience installing fixtures.

It is set up to be hard wired but we spliced a toggle switch and plug to it and made it a plug in.

I suppose if you put in a dimmer switch. It is a hardwired fixture. Absolutely beautiful! Ask them for extra rings to piece it all together though, mine did not come with enough.
