Last night I opened up a Control linc for the first time (I have a few and never even looked at them based on the picture on the website). Its not as bad as it looks in the catalog etc.
I would really like to be able to wall mount it and started to think of how I could make one when I thought of a reason whey they could not have. This is only my opinion and I might be mistaken.
What I thought of was that it is ETL Listed to a UL Standard (UL60950). The UL requirements for an enclosure material for a permanently mounted product containing a risk of fire (mains voltage in this case) requires a 5VA flame rating. That type of plastic is VERY expensive compared to the plastic for a portable product.
Additionally I think the NEC requires that a permanently mounted product be hardwired to the mains voltage (there are exceptions of course for products requireing serviceing etc. as well as other exceptions).
Based on the above SH may not be able to make a mounting bracket for the Control linc.
Again I might be totally mistaken.........
