There are 2 different connection types for lighting products which are hardwired or 2-prong plug.
What does it mean when an item is Hardwired?
| The electrical device is directly connected to the buildings electrical wiring without a plug or receptacle. This type of connection commonly used for permanently installed fixtures like ceiling lights or wall sconces. Typically requires professional installation by an electrician, as it involves connecting the device directly to the circuit wiring within an electrical box. |
The electrical device is connected to a power source using a plug that inserts into a standard electrical outlet. Commonly used for portable table and floor lamps. This type of connection has simple installation and typically requires no special tools or professional installation. The plug is inserted into a compatible outlet.
Communication Tip: When advising or guiding a client on any hardwired connections it is best to send the assembly instructions and advise the client to seek professional installation.
