Fine, flexible braided flex for antique and restoration lighting
Made in the UK, this 3 core 0.5mm² twisted braided flex is particularly useful for rewiring antique and period lighting, where cable passages through stems, arms and fittings can be narrow and space is often limited.
Its fine, flexible construction makes it easy to handle and feed through a fitting, while the textile braid gives a smart traditional finish. The electrical cores are double insulated, giving you proper lighting cable beneath the decorative braided finish.
