If YOU DID attempt or DID convert the hard wires into a TWO PRONG PLUG, can you please offer your advice? THANKS

Hard wired to back of a existing socket. Wife didn't want the wires to show. Shouldn't be a problem using a two prong plug.

I was able to plug it into a regular outlet. The connection to another strand was not standard but worked to connect the two strands.

We did with the included adapters. We had 2 sets and ran the cord down the side. As we had 2 plugs in the rear and one upfront.

no you don't ,i would go online and see if you can bring up the instruction booklet or even go to u tube and i remember a couple videos of people wiring them in. all i remember is it was easier than i hoped for and i am not good with electricity!

I used a lamp wire with a 2 prong plug. They should be available at Lowe's or Home Depot in varying lengths.

That one stumped me too. Nothing in the instructions, although they do mention 12 VDC for that wire somewhere in a diagram. The instructions were horrible, and the thing never powered on. I returned it and got a refund. My suggestion is you do the same.

I tried using what I had as well and ended up buying a bigger unit to plug into the wall and I tried using my wire but ended up buying new wire. Once I got everything in place it works fine but I was frustrated at first trying to use what I had. Good luck

I ordered a plug in model. The decided to hard wire it. The descriptions will tell you if the model is a hardwire

clip off the dc jack and strip the two wire and connect to transformer wires, which usually you have to connect the red to red, black to black vs on other types of low voltage it doesn't matter. Just be careful of the run length. That (nor in my experience with the supplier) I can't answer, but if its not a long run, shouldn't be a problem. Steve, electrical contractor, Atlanta, GA, just saw another answer from Robert, what he said!

Yes, you can use an adapterHowever,1) you can only use 1 of the 2 discreet sets of the electric wire in the house. you will have to install the system with the set up steps on page 9 the user's manual (See bullet point # 1 in the Product Knowledge) on sales page. In your case with only 2 prongs you will be better off getting the traditional 2 prongs ASINs: B00F1Z71AG & B006ICDV3M to save money.No GFI, No surge protector because the circuit in those device will alter the signal between the units.

I found another plug at Walmart(automotive/ lighting/wiring)& took what parts i needed that one to make the original work. If your not comfortable swapping parts,you can splice the wires to the new connector or hard wire it to a fused switch.

The Instructions are a little confusing, I had to just go by what each wire does: I used Conventional Diagram! I also Double checked connections On the internet utilizing how my old one was connected & tagged the wires with the corresponding letters shown on the wiring diagram? I don't know if I have confused you more O actually helped you? Good Luck! =O)

Buy or make a plugin conversion connection box. Use 110 volts from one side of a 220 volt line connector.

unsure .... I did it ..... but didn't check the paperwork.There may be a model variation for hardwiring.Ask manufacture on their site..

I don't see why you would have any problem hard wiring the unit. I don't know how the extension plug is wired in but you shoul be able to make the hard wire connection.

Hey - ground wires are always a wise thing with electronics. You can get away with a 3 to 2 prong adapter.Life Suggestion - If your house only has two-pronged outlets, you can (if you are able or ask a knowledgable friend/family to help) replace an outlet with a grounded outlet and the grounding wire can be grounded into the housing of the outlet. Consult a knowledge handy person if you do not understand how to replace an outlet in a wall like this. AND ALWAYS TURN OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE OPENING OR INSPECTING AN OUTLET!If you are renting, you should give your landlord a hard time that they only have 2 prong outlets.

I haven't tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Anything with a two-prong standard plug should work as far as I can tell.
