I have a pendant light that is meant to hang from the ceiling and have a
cord run down the wall to an outlet. I want to hardwire it right to the
ceiling. I am unsure how to do this. Do I cut off all the way at the
base and get a new set of wires that has a hot, neutral AND ground and
reinsert that? If so, how do you do that? Do I cut off just the plug
and wire it with the 2 wires in the cord? If so, isn't that a fire
hazard? I am confused and could really use some advice on this.

If it has a two wire cord and two pin plug it is designed for that and there
is no need to connect a ground.

Thanks for responding!
