| Is there any good reason I can't cut the plug off and attach the wiring to a switch?
There is a label on the cord that says "Not for current interruption", but I can't think of any reason other than the plug makes sure you have the correct polarity. Also, you think it's okay to splice wire to extend the interconnect wiring 5-6 feet? Thanks,

| I don't know, but my electrician wouldn't do that. Said it was against code, which seemed odd to me. Anyway, I took them back, even though the woman at HD said you could do it and electricians did it all the time. I got the Utilitec ones from Lowe's and have been pleased so far. Can't see them under the cabinets, and we barely had an inch to hide them behind/under. |

| I did it! Or, an electrician did it for me. Trick is to get the 24772 junction box - you can run the proper wiring in the wall from the switch to the junction box, which then lets you plug in the lamps with their included link cables. |
Here is a link that might be useful: GE Junction Box
