Is this what they call a swag light, does it plug into the wall or does it need to be hard wired to the ceiling?

I installed mine hard wired to the ceiling. There is a length of metal piping to conceal the wires. It was a bit too low for my hallway so I had to cut a few inches off with a pipe cutter. Good luck :)

It needs to be hardwired into the ceiling as far as I can tell. It was too big for my bathroom, but I didn't want a swag when I ordered it so I am pretty sure it is hardwired.

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.

hard wired.....but I have worked at home depot for 13yrs...any light can be swaged..just know that you will see the junction of where you twist together the wires..you can buy a swag kit at home depot or lowes....

Hi Kathleen. It is hard wired to the ceiling. My husband installed it so I'm not sure but I don't think it came with an option to plug into the wall, although I'm sure you can get someone to make it that way if that's what you are looking for.

This is a ceiling fixture. We bought it for my mothers bedroom and it is wired right into the ceiling, it's beautiful!

I still haven't made this light, so I don't know. But, I do not expect it to be swat light. I expect that we will hard wire it to the ceiling.

This is a hard wired light fixture. I loooove this. It looks so sweet in the spare bedroom.

The light comes with all the instructions and hardware for hardwiring it to the ceiling; not what we wanted or needed. We went to the local home improvement store (pick just about any), and picked up the plug adapter (all of about $4 maybe?) and now have it suspended and plugged in to a socket. It took longer to weave the wires through the chain than it did to install the adapter! It is a very nice and well made light.

Yes, we did. We actually made a "swag" lamp out of it. My husband is an electrical contractor and put a plate on the ceiling from which the lamp hangs then ran the rest of the chain to the wall to a hook then let the chain hang from there. So we purchased the ceiling plate, long chain with the wire including a switch and a hook all in dark bronze. What he did inside the box is for an electrician. In addition, because the switch is at the bottom of the chain/wire we got a "wireless" switch. That plugs in the wall, then you plug the lamp into it. The remote switch sits on the the table under the lamp where we can easily reach it from out chairs. Hope this helps.

Some assembly required but it's just screwing the shade to the light assembly and you just plug it in the wall. You will have to hang the chain to the ceiling though.

It's not. You're supposed to hardwire it into the ceiling. I bought a swag kit and converted it.

Does this require an electrical connection from the cieling or is it just a mount and plug in the wall light?

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.

As the other responders indicate, the unit was intended to be "hardwired" on a wall - not plugged into an outlet, although that is possible using a homemade cord. Alternatively, there are emergency/security lights designed for plug-in use - one of which I also own and use (obtained from Amazon): Globe Security light (#32602). It can be wall-mounted or hung, but must be plugged into an outlet; the cord is reasonably long.

this is not a plug in lamp, I have it wired into the ceiling turns off and on with a switch, very bright light for being a small one

If you want it to actually light up, you'll have to buy a Light cord. (Plug in for an outlet on one end, light socket on the other. To hang it I just got a little hook to screw into the ceiling. I got both at Walmart really cheap

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.

It comes with a power cord so it can be plugged in to an outlet. Or you can cut the wires and install it on an existing fixture or (as I did) you can create a new fixture. If your going to create a new fixture be careful how large you make the two holes in the ceiling because this light's covers are smaller than usual. Lastly, I'll say I am very pleased with it.

It doesn't plug in. It is hard wired. If you have replaced any light fixture before, this one is no different. It was fairly easy to install and looks great!

No it isn't wired for that. It is hard wired for use with a wall switch. It's a really nice hall light!

It has the hardware to connect directly into the ceiling but it can also be hung as a swag and plugged into the wall, which is what I did. Hope that helps :-)

You need some wiring to connect this light to. I'm surprised a bedroom has no wiring in the ceiling.

No, it must be hard wired and mounted into an electrical box in the ceiling.
