Plug-In Ceiling Lights


Style A	Style B

Style C	Style D

Style E

No need for wiring—these lights plug into a standard wall outlet. Also known as shop lights, they suspend from your ceiling or can be surface mounted with the included hardware. Their smooth, frosted lens disperses light and reduces glare. Since the lens is polycarbonate, these lights stand up to bumps. ETL listed for use in damp locations, they also withstand humidity and moisture.

Style A—Style A have a slim profile so they fit in narrow spaces.

Style B—Styles B-D can be chained together by plugging their power cord into the power outlet on the previous light. Style B save energy by using a motion sensor to turn on only when the room is occupied. Adjust everything from brightness to sensor range to timer duration with the included remote.

Style C—Styles B-D can be chained together by plugging their power cord into the power outlet on the previous light. Style C are the brightest plug-in ceiling light, so they’re ideal for large areas.

Style D—Styles B-D can be chained together by plugging their power cord into the power outlet on the previous light.

Style E—Style E have three different light appearance settings, so you can adjust them to match other lights nearby. Plug them in or hardwire them into an outlet box. They can be plugged directly to the previous light to create a continuous strip of light, or spaced 12" apart with the included connecting cord.

Neutral Light—Neutral lights are often found in workspaces.

Cool Light—Cool lights highlight white and blue tones. This is ideal for inspection areas, workshops, and other areas that require high visibility.

Warm Light—Warm lights have a yellow tone similar to incandescent lights.
