Can I adapt plug-in lights to hard wired?

Hi all - after much searching online, I have found the lights I'd like to put in our sitting room when our house is built (start in Jan after 2 years planning!). They are the ones in the picture, but they come with a cable and plug, and inline switch. In the other picture, it seems like these same lights have been adapted to be hard-wired. Is this a relatively simple thing for an electrician to do? Or do I need to go and find some other lights?!

You would need to see them in the flesh to see if it is possible to mount them on the wall with the flex exiting through the back into the wall.  Even then, if not designed for that, you would probably have to set a round back box into the wall to provide space for some terminals.

 

Or just keep looking.

Buy one first? You get 7 days to return it.

 

i did this with some lights we wanted, bought one to confirm, them ordered the rest, I was prepared to send it back if not liked or could not be fitted.
