Description
This is a plain white flex for lighting work, round in profile and supplied by the metre as one continuous length rather than in cut pieces. It is a two core PVC cable at 0.75mm per core, so it stays flexible in the hand and coils without kinking or holding a memory. The white sheath is smooth and slightly satin, easy to keep clean, and it is VDE approved.
We reach for this when a pendant set, a table lamp or a floor lamp needs new flex and the existing one has gone stiff, discoloured or too short. It suits pale rooms best, where a white flex drops down a white ceiling and simply stops being noticeable, and it is a sensible choice for hallway pendants, bedside drops and shade sets bought without a cord. Anyone building up a lighting project will find it useful to order the length as one run and trim it back to what the job actually needs, rather than joining shorter pieces together.
The core sits inside a moulded PVC sheath that resists scuffing and wipes clean with a barely damp cloth, then dry, with the power off and the flex disconnected before you touch it. Kept out of direct sun and away from heat, the white holds its colour well. It is intended for dry indoor lighting on a household mains supply. We stock the same gauge in black and in clear if you would rather the flex read dark against a painted ceiling or disappear against wallpaper, and there are braided versions in black, white, blue, red, purple and lime green for anyone who wants the flex to be part of the look. A thinner figure of eight cable is also in the range for wiring small LED items. Lamps, holders and shades are ordered separately.
