Description
Golden brown braid, twisted into a soft rope of two cores, gives this flex a period look without any of the fuss. The braided sleeve sits over 0.75mm conductors and is VDE approved, so it suits ordinary domestic lighting work at home. We sell it by the metre, and whatever quantity you order arrives as a continuous length rather than a bundle of short pieces, which makes measuring a drop far simpler.
The colour is a mellow tobacco brown with a golden lift in the weave, and it reads well against brass, antique brass and bare wood. We reach for it on hanging pendant sets over a kitchen island, on rewired table and floor lamps, and on trailing bulb holders in a workshop or a garden room. It suits anyone restoring an older lamp, where plain white PVC would look wrong the moment it left the ceiling rose. Where a fitting is on show from every side, the cable feeding it deserves as much thought as the shade above.
The braid is tightly woven and holds its twist, so the flex keeps a tidy line as it drops rather than corkscrewing. Keep it dry, and give the braid an occasional pass with a dry brush or a lint-free cloth; grease and dust settle into woven sleeving more readily than smooth PVC, so a wipe now and then pays off. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same braided flex in black, white, red, blue, purple and lime green, along with clear and black PVC cable if you would rather the wiring disappeared. Lampholders and ceiling roses are chosen separately.

Frequently Asked
How is the cable supplied if I order several metres?
As one continuous length. Order the number of metres you need and it arrives in a single piece, not cut into 1m sections.
How thick is the finished cable?
The overall diameter is 5.3mm across the twisted, braided pair, which passes comfortably through most ceiling roses and lampholder entries.
What size are the conductors?
Two cores at 0.75mm each, a common size for domestic lighting flex.
Is it approved for use in the UK?
It is VDE approved and intended for indoor domestic lighting.
How do I keep the braid looking clean?
Wipe it along its length with a dry lint-free cloth, or use a soft brush to lift dust out of the weave. Avoid damp cloths and solvents, which can mark woven sleeving.
Which colours does the braided version come in?
Alongside this golden brown, we stock the braided flex in black, white, red, blue, purple and lime green.
