Like Sean H's answer, there are a couple of small wires sticking out that need to be attached to power if you want the light to work. No power needed run the compass.

Only if you want it to be lit maybe for when its dark. It works like any compass right out of the box.

Yes it needs to be wired, I put it next to my router and can access it from anywhere. I use computers, my iPhone, and my iPad. Works great!!!!

It needs to be hard-wired and turned on/off by a wall switch. No built in switch.

No, it needs to be wired into the fixture. It is such a nice little chandelier and perfect in our closet.

Yes. It is not wireless. It needs to be wired. You simply call your electrician and he wires it up.

It seems like it has to be plugged in. I didn't realize it was intended to work without being plugged in

No... Unfortunately you have to use the plug in. But it is really worth it! :)

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.

No, it is hard-wired. We converted it to a plug-in style by purchasing a "kit" at Lowes'..the light is beautiful!!

no, it needs to be wired directly to the battery with a 30 amp inline fuse added.

No, the power is on the control panel. I wired mine to a switched line, but it still needs to be turned on every time from the control panel.

No. You have to hard wire it. It's simple with the enclosed directions. I bought a cord from one of the big box stores; 3 prong plug at one end and bare wires at the other. Piece of cake.

No, it needs to be hard wired, if there's no cord out of the wall, usually there's a port under the actual phone I've connected to and it has worked

It can be direct wired. It does not come with a cord, I installed mine with a cord I purchased at Lowes. You will need a 20 amp cord and a 20 amp receptacle. I bought an extension cord and cut one end off.

As ordered it needs to be wired in, but you might be able to modify the wiring to allow for plugging in...

It needs to be wired in. I was replacing an older unit that no longer worked so was an easy fix for me
