All of the outlets in my home have the hole for the "grounding prong" at the top. Is this light made to be upright in such an outlet? I hope.

This light is only a double prong light. No third grounding prong. It should be fiine upright in your plug.

This won't work for you as your plugs are set up. The light doesn't have a grounding plug BUT one prong is larger than the other - so it won't fit unless you turn it upside down. It seems quite odd that all the plugs in your home are installed in this non-standard way. Changing it would be pretty easy - check out a book on wiring or check Ask.com. As long as you're careful to turn OFF the juice to the outlets you want to change, you can pretty simply revolve the (entire) plug (after removing the face plate) so this and other nice nightlights will fit as designed.

The fixture has a ground wire. However the ground wire was not attached to the fixture chassis inside the lamp. Had to tap a hole and tie down the ground. I would GUESS it is not UL listed.

No, it is a conventional outlet that is recessed to allow for more convenient routing of cables and power cord for wall mounted TV sets.I have a whole house surge protector, so this was not a concern for me regarding this particular item. I hope this helps.Steve Gray

It is 2 pronged, and yes they are polarized. The wider of the 2 prongs being the neutral as it should be. There is no 3rd prong for ground.

The 3rd hole of your outlet has to be grounded & there is a tester included in the pkg you will receive w/ your sheet. If your outlet is not grounded there is a rod included to set outside the window in the ground w/ an extremely long cord on it to connect your sheet. Very clever and well made. If you test your outlet and find that it is grounded you do not have to use the grounding rod. Just plug the cord into the hole in your outlet and your sheet is now grounded.

Sorry, I don't remember for certain (since it didn't fit my outlet and I returned it) but I think there are prongs for both upper and lower outlets. The manufacturer/seller could really help with better photos of the product including the back!

it is connected directly to the outlet , but id has to be upright while charging which is a pain because all of my outlets go the other way

If your wall outlet has the ground (round hole)on the bottom, it would be the right side .

Yes, it requires a standard three-prong outlet. As an aside, make sure not to use an extension cord. And make sure your wiring can support the required voltage. I'm renting an older home, and the lights flicker for a second when the compressor kicks on and off. To be fair, the wiring here is REALLY old and needs to be redone--the lights also flicker when I merely power on my hair dryer. But since I'm renting, I can't fix that myself.

Yes, only two prong plugs are accomodated in the lamp control (which is a dimmer outlet). Presumably, they don't want people plugging in appliances/electronics that routinely use grounding plugs (most lamps don't). If you really want to use this with a grounded plug, you can by an adapter (like the AXIS 45086 3-Prong to 2-Prong Electrical Adapter - 2 Pack) which eliminates the 3rd prong, but if you want to truly ground the lamp, you'll need to solder a wire to the adapter's ground lug, then wrap it (or put a lug on other end of wire) to one of the screws that holds the Decora wall plate to the outlet. If you're not going to bother to actually ground the adapter, you could also just cut the ground prong off your lamp plug instead.

The plug that I received had a three-pronged plug (for the plug that goes into the wall). So it had the grounding prong, if that's what you're asking about.

No, I have it plugged in on the top (upside down) so the cables come in that direction. The bottom outlet is open and being used.

This lamp has a wire lead with electric plug. I used 2 hooks- one closer to wall near plug other right above where I want it to hang. It never hung straight which bothered me. I left it when I moved. I don't recommend buying this unless you really need a plug. I had a wood beam, so I had no choice but to get something like this.

Steve, the answer is NO, the grounding lug is located on the panel sides.. It is a direct push in.. It is a good buy and great quality.............Bob M.

When you attach the light to whatever you are attaching it to that acts as your ground. So you just need a positive run to the light. You can ground the adapter to the light as well I would think

I put one in the garage for the outside lights and did not ground it. I just screwed it to the box. It worked just fine.

only 2 prongs... No ground. I wouldn't use it for a high wattage bulb for example, a high pressure sodium lamp. Hope this helps.
