Today i m going to show you how to convert a wall mounted light fixture into one with an electric plug on it so that it can be plugged into the wall.
How to convert plug in lamp to wall mount.
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.
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.
Plus it had to be mounted to a movable piece of furniture it wasn t going to be mounted to a wall.
I ve attached the screws to the metal bracket then threaded the screws from the back of the bookcase to the front.
The conversion procedure involves connecting the fixture s wires to a length of lamp cord which is then plugged into a regular wall outlet.
When they are secure screw on a wire nut being sure that all exposed wire is covered by the nut.
Hold the ends of the white wires of the cord and light fixture together so they are parallel and twist them clockwise with the pliers.
