Most lighting fixtures have their wiring enter through standard sized holes called “knockouts.” They punch them in standard sizes so you can attach them to standard sized conduit using a thing called a conduit connector.

To attach an appliance cord instead of hardwiring with conduit you use something called a “cord grip,” which attaches to the fixture much like a conduit connector but clamps solidly to a power cord rather than conduit.

Be sure to use a three-prong plug and ground the chassis of the fixture, just as you would if you were hardwiring it.
