Description
This is a black lighting cable, 500cm long, for giving a light a new or longer lead. A black outer sheath carries three cores in brown, blue and green and yellow, with the cores stripped back at both ends. It comes without a lamp socket, so there is no lamp holder fitted at either end and the light it serves keeps its own. The whole length weighs 0.26KG.
We stock it for the customer whose light needs a fresh lead: a pendant whose original cable has become worn or discoloured, a light being rehung at a new height, or a project where the supplied lead is simply too short. At 500cm there is generous length for a long drop or a winding run, and the black finish suits dark fittings, black ceiling roses and modern or industrial rooms, where a pale lead would catch the eye. It is a small part, but the right one keeps a favourite light in use rather than in a cupboard.
The black sheath runs the full length, and the three coloured cores are easy to identify. It carries no stated IP rating, so keep it to dry indoor places, well away from water. As with any wired-in light, a qualified electrician should make the connections. Before you order, measure the drop or run your light needs; 500cm leaves room to spare.

Frequently Asked
How long is the black lighting cable?
It is 500cm long, which gives plenty of length for a long pendant drop or a light that needs a longer lead.
Does the cable come with a lamp holder?
No. It comes without a lamp socket, so there is no lamp holder at either end and your light keeps its own.
How many cores does the cable have?
It has three cores in brown, blue and green and yellow inside a black outer sheath, with the cores stripped back at both ends.
Can it be used outdoors or in a bathroom?
It has no stated IP rating, so we recommend it only for dry indoor places and never outdoors or near water.
Who should connect the lighting cable?
As with any wired-in light, a qualified electrician should make the connections so the cable is fitted properly to your light.
How heavy is the cable?
The full 500cm length weighs 0.26KG, which makes it easy to coil, carry and handle while you plan the run.
