Can I cut the female end off of a heavy duty extension cord and connect it to this light's wiring?

I do not know how to answer your question... but the one I bought works perfectly well..byeleonel

Sarah-This light has a plug for use with a wall socket. I guess you could cut off the plug (and any extra cord) and wire it directly into a junction box cut into the wall. Boy, this sounds like a lot of work...

Negative. I had to splice it into existing wiring that I already had from a regular ceiling light. This worked for me because this chandelier acts as our entry light and is connected to a wall switch. Wouldn't be hard to actually slice in a plug though if that's what you need.

I bought a fuse lighter plug an connected it to the wire.it's better that way so you can cut it on an off when ever you want.

Yes you can easily splice a plug on the end. These are really cool light fixtures especially on a dimmer!

If I understand your question correctly, you want to cut the lights, separate them and then join them back with wire, making the total length longer. If this is what you want to do then the answer is yes. Make sure you cut where the white line is on the led strips and then strip plastic to expose the wire and solder your additional wire to the led wire. The lights will need a 12 volt power supply and I also added a dimmer to control how much light. They are very bright.

I would say no but only because most extension cords are usually too thick. If it's an extension cord that's old and only has two wires you could possibly get away with it

It is not the intended purpose. You could cut off the end, run the wire through the wall, then attached an in-wall female connection, but you are better off just getting a spool of cable, you get much more cable for the money and it saves you the annoyance of cutting off and wasting perfectly good cabled ends.

I didnt cut that wire off. I loosened the faring and unpluged the old one, then I pluged the new one in. I would say yes. I would just splice the new one to the old wire. Jerry

you can pull the pre-attached power cord off (just pull it firmly while holding the other end). To connect to another section of rope light, you'll need a connector, comes in multiple colors to match what you're designing - it's plastic with two metal prongs that insert into the rope light on each side to keep the power flowing. You can re-attach your power cord to your newly created end.

If you are/know an electrician or someone with electrical experience, the strand can be shortened by cutting and stripping the wire and reattaching the plug. I am not an electrician so I don't know all the details, but my husband shortened another string we have. Contact and electrician, they can do it for you in a snap :) Hope that's helpful!

Yes you can -- but why would you want to? Depending where you hard wire it, it may make the indicator light harder to see. Hard wire a female end to the box and just plug it in.

I bought a 2 wire (outdoor) electrical extension cord which has only the male plug on one end; ran the cord through the wall and wired the light to the extension cord and plugged the cord into an adapter with an off-on switch and plugged this into an outlet. Works great -- all parts are at Lowes.

you could cut the flex watt, just remember to tape off the ends on each or you risk having a fire/shock hazard.

Yes.Since you can't be sure of which switch controls that light, turn off the power at the fuse box for that circuit. Make certain that the power is off, then and only then proceed. If you have rubber gloves they will add a layer of protection when handling the tool.I am not an electrician so if you are not comfortable doing this, please do not attempt. That's the best advice I can give you. Please be safe!

Yes, the cord can e cut to any length & hard wired to existing wiring or to a plug. You can buy a male drop cord plug & install it on the end of the fixtures cord. Keep in mind to be code compliant you need to mount the hanging plate of the fixture to a standard electrical round box & then run the cord out of the box to your plug. If your unsure of how or what to do then take the fixture with you to your local home center & ask someone in electrical for the parts you need or call a professional electrician to install it. Plan on spending up to 10.00 per fixture for a nice plug end & round box with the proper fittings. Yes, the cord can e cut to any length & hard wired to existing wiring or to a plug.
