It is a wall mount not celling, just find a place for it and follow the electrical wiring code, I installed mine with a gage 12 wire and it works fine, Regards

Light comes with 6' cord, I mounted mine on wall right above outlet. It is within twelve inches of ceiling.

Hi Laura, We put it in a Drop Ceiling and had to make a cover for the top of it, all the wiring comes out the top. It would not look finished if you did not mount inside the dry wall. I recommend getting it professional installed.Teri H

I mounted on the ceiling. If you have the electrical wiring and box I can't see why you could not mount it to the wall. I really like it. Is mounted in the kitchen area with the lights aimed at the counter tops. Looks great.

not exactly sure , i have a outlet close to my window and it reaches fine but if you were looking to plug it in on a different wall you might need an extension

Technical support is available to answer this question. In my experience it is better to use techniccal support than other lay people. I would not want the cord exposed runing to the ceiling so this would not have been an option for me. I also noted that there is a wireless product available from Amazon.

There isn't really an easy way to run an extension. It is designed to have the top plate mount directly to an electrical box, then the light dangles on cables below that. The light comes with 4 adjustable cables, I used about half of the available length for my 9' ceilings.

Physically, yes you can BUT building codes prevent you from running usual appliance power cords through walls , I guess they are not rated for in-wall use. I've had to have an electrician install a (sunken) outlet behind the TV. IMHO it's worth the expense for peace of mind.

Yes you can add the Surge to an extension cord, Just be sure to use a heavy duty extension cord with the ground pin

We did, we installed outlet in adjoining closet and used extension cord. We used a GIF outlet. Good luck.

Not directly, no. But it's easy if you just get a good quality extension cord long enough to reach the wall outlet, cut off the female end, split the two wires (carefully remove the rubber coating exposing the wires) and use plastic twist plugs and black electrical tape to connect them to the wires on the light unit. That's what I did several years ago; I placed it above a tall (9') bookcase and plugged it into a power strip that plugs into the wall outlet; it still works great.

About six feet. I think they assume you will use an extension. I mounted mine on a wall near an outlet.

Yes you can mount it in a wall or ceiling, but you will need to install it in a conduit so you can remove/replace it if needed. I installed mine in a conduit with the HDMI cables in the ceiling and wall to control AV equipment in a different room, and it works great.

If the ceiling is hollow or dry wall use a couple of toggle bolts or those expanding screws made for that sort of thing. The lamp doesn't weigh much, the toggle bolts may be overkill, but they will make it really secure. Put it up against the ceiling to see if it works for you first. I'm no electrician and I put it in my bathroom and it works fine, but this guy Jerry seems to be some kind of expert and perhaps his advice is worth considering.

It does not need to be plugged into the wall. It can be plugged into extension cord. That would work.

It should be fine as long as the outlet isn't too far away from your shelf. I have mine hanging on a nail on the wall high up. The outlet is below where it hung it and off to the side.

Yes, you can mount it by installing two screws then push and twist this unit over them --------------- or ------------use double-sided foam tape to hold it to the ceiling. It is pretty light!

This lamp can be mounted flush to a wall (you would have to cut a hole in drywall, run wire behind wall and install a box) or, you can just put two anchors in drywall and hang this lamp on the wall. They provide a power cord to use for external mount
