They're plugged into ceiling mounted outlets and switched by the door.They work fine. I moved one of them into my shop. It gets used for extra task lighting. There is a switched outlet mounted high on the wall for the window AC unit. A power strip is plugged into that and is mounted down near the floor. An extension cord runs from there to my bench where it powers that light. Nothing else is plugged into that circuit at this time. Even the window unit is unplugged. I have not used that light in three days. Tonight, I walked into the darkened shop and noticed a faint glow from the light. The factory installed switch on the light is turned off. The switched wall outlet is turned off. The light still glows. Outlet on. Light on. Light is on. Outlet on. Light off. Light is off. Outlet off. Light on. Light is off. Outlet off. Light off. Light glows dimly. Any idea what is going on? We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind. - Stu Harmon
