Does the electrical receptacle (outlet) into which you intend to plug
the light already exist, or do you need to install one? The latter is
makes things considerably more difficult, and installing an outlet
requires a permit in many places.

A few other things to consider: is this a secondary light, or will it
be the primary lighting in the room - if so, if you trip the breaker
powering the receptacle, you will lose your lighting. Also, primary
lighting in a kitchen or bath should be controlled by a wall switch
