I absolutely hate wiring lights so it looks like a cool idea

I think its generally a great idea. The electrical industry could use more standardized plug and play stuff - or we can keep doing it the way we did it in 1937. Its crazy we still hardwire commercial lighting with MC or whips.
 
I agree a great idea. We are in sore need of better standardization for lighting. While nice their receptacle has support for a 3 wire it would be nice to have 5 wire. Commercial lighting typically uses 0-10 volt for dimming. Definitely don’t want to loose the 3 wire either for battery backed up fixtures
 
While it may be a good idea, it should not be a code requirement. That company submitted PIs to require the use of this product for all lighting outlets.
If you want to use it, fine, but don't force me to use it.

Of course they did. :rolleyes: Who do they think they are, Leviton?

My feelings are that you wire the receptacle or you wire the fixture. Dunno about you, but I only changed my dining room fixture once since the house was built in 1955.

Might be a good idea for a lighting showroom...

Looks like a good idea to me as long as it's built to hold some weight. I wonder how stable it is for ceiling fans. The only draw back I see is that the video shows a 3-wire unit, but then I found this page and it shows a 4-wire. Looks like it was well thought out but I'd want one in my hands to touch before being sold. https://skyplug.com/products/#overview
