Lighting Cable FAQ

Do I need 2 or 3 core lamp flex?Denise2020-12-22T14:53:45+00:00

Do I need 2 or 3 core lamp flex?

When using any metal light fittings you need to earth the fitting to reduce the risk of electric shock. You therefore need to use our 3 core light flex in either our round or twisted braid as both have live, neutral and earth wires. Our 2 core braided flex only has live and neutral wires and therefore is only suitable for use with non-metal light fittings. If in any doubt please always refer to a qualified electrician.

How do I stop my lamp flex from fraying?

The simplest most common solution is to apply electrical tape around the end of the cable and then cut over the tape. We stock various colours to match or compliment our lamp flex colours.

Which Amp Lighting Flex or Plug can I use?Denise2020-10-05T14:25:18+01:00

Which Amp Lighting Flex or Plug can I use?

The conversion of Watts to Amps is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts so if you check how many Watts your bulb(s) will be, you can work out what amperage flex or switch you will need. For example 4 watts/240 volts = .016 Amps for 1 x 4 Watt bulb.

Our Bayonet Cap Lamp holders are generally 2 AMP rated and our ES lamp holders 4 AMPS. Our Flex specifications can be found here.

We are not qualified electricians and only offer guidance, which can change. If you are not a qualified electrician you should always get any electrical work you do properly checked & certified.

Which wire is which on the clear lighting cable?Denise2020-10-22T14:40:12+01:00

Which wire is which on the clear lighting cable?

To enable the ‘clear look’ to our clear flex, the individual wires are not coloured. Therefore you will need a voltage tester to establish which of the wires are live and neutral. Please always consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt as to the safe use of our products in your project.
