I wanted to use this inexpensive 26 exterior nautical style sconce but it was designed to be hardwired into the wall i wanted to be able to plug it in instead.
How to convert plug in lamp to wall mount.
The conversion procedure involves connecting the fixture s wires to a length of lamp cord which is then plugged into a regular wall outlet.
Plus it had to be mounted to a movable piece of furniture it wasn t going to be mounted to a wall.
Attach the metal mount to the backside of the bookcase or wall unit.
The 2 side holes are the screw holes where the light will be mounted to the metal mount and wall unit bookcase.
Using wire cutters cut both cords the one coming from the fixture and the one from the lamp cord 1 2 longer than you need them.
When they are secure screw on a wire nut being sure that all exposed wire is covered by the nut.
The light fixture has a black or red wire which is a hot lead a white wire which is a neutral lead and sometimes a bare or copper wire which is a ground.
I ve attached the screws to the metal bracket then threaded the screws from the back of the bookcase to the front.
