Description
A small black grip with an 8mm thread, made to hold flex tidily where it meets a fitting. There is nothing to it beyond a threaded body and a gripping collar, and that plainness is the appeal: once fitted it holds the cord steady, so the flex runs where you intended rather than drifting or twisting. The black finish carries right through, which means it reads as part of a dark cord rather than as an added component sitting halfway up the drop.
We sell a great many of these to people finishing a pendant properly, whether that is a single bare lampholder over a kitchen island, a cluster of drops above a dining table, or a bedside light on a longer cord. It is the sort of small part that gets forgotten when a fitting is put together from separate pieces, and then missed the moment the cord starts to slip. Electricians and confident home decorators both use them, and at this price we would keep a couple spare in the toolbox for the next job.
The body is a moulded threaded component, light in the hand and slim enough to sit unobtrusively at the top of a drop. Being non-electrical, there is no lamp involved and nothing to switch or dim; it simply does its one job and stays out of the way. Should it ever pick up dust or kitchen grease, a wipe with a barely damp cloth and a dry-off is all it wants, and nothing abrasive should go near the black finish. It carries a three year warranty. We also stock the same grip in clear for pale or transparent flex, and the wider range covers lampholders, IEC leads, plugtops and converters, so a whole light can be built up from parts that match.

Frequently Asked
What size thread does it have?
It has an 8mm thread, which is the common size used on lampholders and pendant components in this range.
How big is the grip itself?
It is very small: roughly 20mm long, 18mm wide and 12mm high, so it sits discreetly at the top of a flex drop.
Is it available in any other colour?
Yes. We stock the same grip in clear, which suits pale, white or transparent flex better than the black.
Does it come with a cord or a lampholder?
No, it is sold on its own as a single accessory. Lampholders, leads and plugtops are listed separately in the same range.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
No, it is intended for dry interior rooms only and should not be used anywhere exposed to weather or splashing.
How should I clean it?
A soft cloth, barely damp, then dried off. Avoid solvents and abrasive creams, as they can dull the black finish.
