Description
A fabric braided flex in green, with the two conductors twisted around one another so the pair reads as a single decorative cord rather than a plain lead. The woven outer gives it a soft, slightly textured surface and a warm depth of colour that plain PVC never manages. It is a 0.75mm two core cable, VDE approved, and whatever length you order arrives as one continuous run rather than cut pieces.
This is the cable to choose when the drop is part of the look: hanging pendants, rewiring a favourite table lamp, floor lamps where the trailing lead is on show, and shopfitting or workshop projects that want a bit of colour running down from above. We keep the braided flexes on the shelf precisely because customers so often find the standard black lead spoils an otherwise good fitting, and green is the one we reach for alongside brass, dark timber and deep painted walls, or in a kitchen and garden room where it can pick up planting.
The braid is woven over the insulated cores, which keeps the twist tidy and stops the outer sliding along the run. Colour goes right through the weave, so it stays even along the length. Keep it clean by running a dry cloth along the cord now and then, with the power off at the switch first; fabric braid holds dust more readily than smooth PVC, so an occasional wipe is worth the minute it takes. It is intended for dry interior use, not for anywhere it will be rained on. We also stock the same braided twisted cable in blue, purple, red, white and black, plus flat and figure of eight cables in the range if you want the flex to disappear instead. It carries a one year warranty. Cable only, so lampholders, plugs and cord grips are ordered separately.

Frequently Asked
What size is the conductor in this cable?
It is a 2 core 0.75mm cable, the usual size for mains voltage domestic light fittings and lamps.
How thick is the finished cable?
The overall diameter is 5.3mm, measured across the braided twisted pair.
Will I get separate 1m pieces if I order several metres?
No. The quantity you order is supplied as one continuous length, so ordering five gives you a single 5m run.
Is the cable approved for mains use?
Yes, it is VDE approved and rated IP20, so it is suited to dry indoor rooms.
How should I clean the braid?
Switch the power off first, then wipe along the cord with a dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid solvents and household sprays, which can mark the woven finish.
What colour green is it?
A green braid over the twisted pair, sitting in the earthy end of our colour range rather than a bright emerald.
