could you please email me and tell me how to change this wiring to a plug in! everyone at home depot and lowes has been unhelpful! [email protected]. This would be such a great help! Btw, i wish my lights didnt have that stupid circle. you are lucky you got your lights before they changed the design. thanks!
I took the circles off. They came with it. I can send you the video of how we did it, but it will be a few vid clips because it's too long to send from my phone.

My mom bought me the lights as a surprise! They're more expensive here in the Netherlands (or maybe Europe as a whole though), they were €30. Sometimes moms are just the sweetest!

Hmmmmm can't wait until my well lit make-up spot is finished!

It's extremely easy.. There are two wires a ground and a power (white & black wire) just connect them to the same Color wire on the plug and you're done.

I've tasked my bf with making me a mirror like this - he seems to think he can diy something better (and more cost effective!) than the ikea strips, whilst my main concern was that if the ikea strips only take ikea bulbs, if one bulb runs out, it's a 2 hour round trip to ikea to buy some replacements. We went to Homebase last night to look at lights, and he produced lightbulbs the size of hot air balloons - no need to post pics here when he's done, because you'll probably be able to see the lights from outer space!
