Quick answer
You can install a pendant light without hardwiring by ordering the Add a Cord, Plug and Toggle Switch option from Worley's Lighting. This lets you plug the fixture into any standard outlet and control it with the inline switch.
Why choose a plug-in pendant light?
A plug-in pendant light is ideal for renters, dorm rooms, or anyone who wants to avoid cutting into walls. The cord, plug, and toggle switch add-on from Worley's Lighting turns any pendant fixture into a portable lamp that plugs into a wall outlet. You get full control without calling an electrician.
What to watch for before ordering
The add-on is available in white or black, so match the cord color to your fixture or decor. If ordering multiple fixtures, specify which ones get the cord/plug—don't assume it applies to all. Also, the pendant light itself does not include a bulb, so purchase an E26 base bulb separately.
Step-by-step installation
- Choose your fixture and add-on: Select a pendant light from Worley's Lighting and add the 'Add a Cord, Plug and Toggle Switch' option during checkout. Specify the color (white or black) and indicate which fixture gets the cord if ordering multiple. Double-check that the add-on is applied to the correct fixture in your cart.
- Unpack and inspect: When your order arrives, unpack the pendant and cord assembly. The toggle switch will already be installed on the cord near the plug. Inspect for any damage and verify the cord color matches your order. If the cord color is wrong, contact Worley's Lighting before proceeding with installation.
- Install the bulb and mount the shade: Screw an E26 base bulb (not included) into the socket. Then attach the shade to the canopy following the fixture's instructions. Most pendants use a simple threaded ring or set screw—hand-tighten only. Use an LED bulb to keep the fixture cool and reduce strain on the cord components.
- Hang the pendant and plug it in: Decide where you want the pendant to hang. Use a ceiling hook or a wall-mounted bracket to support the cord. Plug the fixture into a nearby outlet. The toggle switch on the cord lets you turn the light on and off. Avoid running the cord under rugs or through doorways where it could be tripped on or damaged.
- Test and adjust cord length: Flip the toggle switch to test operation. If the cord is too long, you can loop it neatly around the ceiling hook or use a cord shortener. Never cut the cord—this voids the warranty and safety listing. A cord shortener or zip tie keeps excess cord tidy without permanent modification.
