Description
Cable is the part of a light that people forget about until it is the wrong colour. This is a round two core flex with 0.75mm conductors under a clear sheath, so the cores sit faintly visible through the covering. It is VDE approved, and however many metres you order arrive as a single continuous length rather than cut pieces. The clear sheath is what sets it apart from the black and white flex most fittings arrive with.
We reach for this where the flex is on show: a bare bulb pendant, a glass table lamp being rewired, or a floor lamp lead that has to run across pale paint where black would read as a line drawn on the wall. Clear suits chrome, nickel and clear glass fittings, and it recedes against light walls better than any coloured sheath. It is also what we use for repairs, since a tired flex is often the only reason a much loved lamp has been shut away in a cupboard.
The sheath is smooth and slim in section at 6mm across, flexible enough to coil without kinking. Keep it away from hot lamp bodies and hot surfaces, give it a wipe with a dry cloth if it gathers dust, and retire any length that has been nicked, crushed or pulled hard rather than patching it. Colour choice is part of the styling here, not an afterthought, so we stock the same gauge in black and white PVC and in braided sheaths across several colours, and clear flat cable in heavier sizes where a fitting asks for more. Ordering the length you need in one go keeps joins out of the picture.

Frequently Asked
How is the cable supplied if I order several metres?
The quantity you order is supplied as one continuous length, so ordering five gives you a single 5m run rather than five separate metres.
What are the conductor size and outer diameter?
The two cores are 0.75mm and the overall cable measures about 6mm across, which keeps it slim enough to sit neatly through a ceiling rose or lamp holder.
Is this the same as the flat cable in the range?
No. This one is a round clear cable, while the clear flat versions in the range are offered in 1.0mm and 1.5mm for heavier loads.
Can I use it outdoors?
It is intended for dry interior use. For anything exposed to damp or weather, choose a cable rated for those conditions.
How should I clean it?
A dry cloth along the length is enough for dust. Avoid solvents, as they can cloud or soften a clear covering.
Does it come with a plug or connectors?
No, it is supplied as bare cable ready to be cut to the length you need.
