Certainly! The Sillites® SCR is a standard 15 amp electrical receptacle (except that it does not need to be mounted into a junction box) and you can plug any 120 volt item you like into it. Since it is a lot easier to drill a round hole in wood, rather than cut out for a square junction box, the SCR is the perfect choice for fireplace mantels, the sides of kitchen islands, built-in cabinets, hardwood floors, etc. Please see the Self-Contained Receptacle page for illustrated installation methods.
