Review: Excellent quality cable for DIY electrical work - I bought the 2.5mm Twin and Earth Flat Grey PVC Lighting Electric Cable (5m) for a small wiring job, and it turned out perfect. The build quality feels solid -the insulation is thick and durable, yet the wire is flexible enough to work with easily. It connects smoothly to sockets and fittings without any fuss, and the markings on the sheath make identification simple. After installation, it’s been performing exactly as expected with no issues. For the price, it’s great value - reliable, safe, and ideal for DIY or small home electrical projects. Delivered quickly and definitely a product I’d use again. Pros: ✔ Strong insulation and good flexibility ✔ Easy to strip and install ✔ Handles load reliably ✔ Good value for money ✔ Arrived quickly Cons: ✖ None so far - does exactly what it’s meant to Final Verdict: A dependable, well-made cable that’s easy to work with and perfect for small electrical setups. Great quality at a fair price.
Review: Good quality cable, flexible and easy to use - This was found to be good quality electrical cable that you generally use for wiring a lighting circuit. There are rules now about what work you can do yourself and you are not allowed to start a new circuit with this cable, only replace a faulty piece of existing cable or extend an existing circuit. You should be competent to carry out electrical work. I am competent because I was trained in electricity and electronics for a living. The power must be turned off before you start work. You must have an electrical detector that warns you if there is electricity in the circuit you are working on. It will check that the circuit is definitely not live. They are reasonably cheap and could save your life. If you are not competent I suggest you employ an electrician rather than purchase this cable yourself. I used this cable on a lighting circuit in my loft and was found excellent. It fulfilled the function it was intended for and flexible to use. The length was very good and plenty left after the job was finished.
