Cutting Cords Of Attachment Can You Hard Wire A Wall Lamp By Cutting The Cord?

Can you hard wire a wall lamp by cutting the cord? - cutting cords of attachment

I bought a new wall lamps that are connected to an outlet, but their players connected to a switch to. It seems that the cord can be cut and drive the son to splice a new thread, right?

Yes ... can, technically, but we need to look at something like the wiring, which is independent of the code .... While caution it is difficult to be permanently attached cables to the wall so that it can not be moved. Is this a temporary mobile accessories such as floor lamp ... You can not. You need to a wall outlet. One suggestion for you, if the lamp can be repaired at the outlet is on the wall where the wall-mounted lamps with a plug could be supplied. The reason for this code is so that someone can pull the lamp straight and pull loose the wire, causing a short .. and you can burn your house down.

Please ignore all the other answers that can be potentially dangerous because of fire. Where is the current in the switch? Sold items, the clock is embedded in the wall to hide things and hide the cables. My friend had the same problem with the light from Ikea. He never came back. It is in contrast to thread code, I'm sure they howyou. It can happen. You can strip back and NUT braided copper 12 gauge copper or 14 to the wall. If the house is burning, and that is the case, however, was .... Sorry.
