LYYT Rope Light Power Cable 1.5m with UK Plug & 2-Pin Connector

The LYYT rope light power cable is a 1.5m mains lead with a UK 3-pin plug at one end and a 2-pin connector at the other, designed to connect 230V AC rice bulb rope light to UK mains power. The cable includes a clear plastic protective sleeve that fits over the 2-pin connector and a matching end cap, creating a secure weatherproof seal where the cable meets the rope light.

This cable suits outdoor and indoor installations where rope light needs to be powered from a standard UK socket, including garden paths, decking, patio perimeters, under-cabinet lighting runs, and architectural accent lighting. The 1.5m length allows the rope light to be positioned away from the socket without requiring an extension lead, while the 2-pin connector configuration matches LYYT and most other brands of rice bulb rope light rated for 230V AC operation.

The cable is constructed with a flexible black outer sheath that withstands bending around corners and outdoor temperature variation. The plastic sleeve slides over the 2-pin connection point and is held in place with the included end cap, preventing moisture ingress and reducing the risk of accidental disconnection. The UK plug is fused and complies with BS 1363 standards for residential and commercial use.

What rope light is this compatible with?

This cable is compatible with 230V AC rice bulb rope light featuring a 2-pin connector. It works with LYYT rope light and most other brands using the same 2-pin configuration. It is not compatible with low-voltage rope light (12V or 24V) or LED strip requiring a separate driver.

Is the connection weatherproof?

The plastic sleeve and end cap provide a weatherproof seal when correctly fitted over the 2-pin connector. The connection is suitable for outdoor use under eaves, on decking and in covered areas. For exposed installations subject to direct rainfall, additional silicone sealant around the sleeve joint improves long-term water resistance.

Can the cable be extended?

The 1.5m cable can be extended using a standard UK extension lead between the mains socket and the power cable plug. Do not splice or extend the cable itself — use a complete extension lead rated for outdoor use if the installation requires additional length.

What is the maximum rope light length this cable can power?

The cable itself has no length limit, but the total length of rope light you can connect depends on the wattage per metre of the rope light and the fuse rating in the plug (typically 3A or 5A). Consult the rope light manufacturer's maximum run length specification before connecting multiple sections.
