Description
This is a fabric braided flex with two cores twisted around one another, finished in a black and white weave that reads as a fine barber stripe from a step back. It is ordered by the metre, and whatever quantity you ask for arrives as a single continuous length rather than cut pieces. The conductors are 0.75mm, the usual size for domestic lighting flex, and the cable is VDE approved.
We reach for this where the flex is meant to be seen: spotlights on an exposed run, a rewired pendant, a plug-in lamp that deserves better than plain white PVC. The twist gives it a slight springiness, so it sits in gentle curves instead of hanging dead straight, which suits open shelving, kitchen fittings and workshop or studio lighting. It suits anyone rewiring a fitting to a length that actually fits the room, and it is a tidy way to refresh tired flex on a lamp you would rather keep than replace.
The braid is woven over the insulated cores, so the twist stays put and the outer surface has a soft dry texture rather than the slick feel of moulded PVC. The black and white pairing is easy to place, dark enough to settle against a ceiling and bright enough to be read as intentional. Keep it clean by running a dry cloth along the braid with the power off; the weave holds dust, and damp cloths and solvents do it no favours. It carries a one year warranty. We stock plain braided flex in the same size in white, red, blue, purple, lime green and black, along with clear and black PVC options, so a whole room can be wired in one look or mixed on purpose.

Frequently Asked
How is the cable supplied if I order several metres?
As one continuous length. Order the total number of metres you need and it comes off the reel unbroken, so you can cut to your own measurements.
How thick is the finished cable?
The overall diameter is 5.3mm, with two 0.75mm cores twisted together inside the braid.
What colour is the braid?
It is a black and white braid, the two shades twisting together along the length rather than sitting as blocks of colour.
How do I keep the braid looking clean?
Isolate the circuit first, then draw a dry cloth or a soft brush along the weave to lift dust. Avoid water, sprays and solvents, which can mark the fabric.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, it carries a one year warranty.
Does it come with a lamp or lampholder?
No, this is cable only. The lamp and holder belong to the fitting you are wiring, so choose the lamp to suit that fitting.
