Helunsi3 Core Hemp Rope, Vintage Braided Flex Cable for DIY Lamps & Industrial Pendant Lights - 10m

Good quality,well packaged

You'll never find flex that really looks like the old stuff (yes I do remember it well) but which meets modern safety standards. But this is very close in appearance, although black rather than brown as was often then the case back in the day. The only real negative: because the individual cores are pvc-clad (hidden by the braiding) they are not as flexible as the rubber (or even silk) in the old days and it's difficult to get all the kinks out - a heat gun will help once you've got it where you want it. I use it with a couple of Vintage Industrial Hanging Lights I bought from amazon a few years ago (may not still be available, sadly) and it looks the business, so much better than the flex they come with. Great value for this quantity, too.

Just what I needed for my project

It was fine for what I needed it for

Great cord. Very good quality

Arrived as promised. Good quality and looks stylish with table lamp

3 core, blue brown yel/grn cable, a little stiff wanting to retain its rolled up packaging state...to get a perfectly straight pendant cable will need a heat gun but aside from that its perfect

Good product, delivered on time thankyou

Excellent product easy to use

I bought this to rewire several vintage/antique lamps that I’ve acquired over the years. This cord looks great, and fits the aesthetic without breaking the bank.When using this cord to rewire, be sure to keep a very sharp blade and a good set of wire strippers, as the woven exterior can be difficult to cut fully with wire cutters and is prone to unraveling. I suggest scoring (pre-cutting) the outer layer with an exacto knife or box cutter.

Muy practico lo utilice para hacer lámparas.

Worked perfect!

I was very pleased to see that no corners were cut in making this zip cord. The braided sheathing is good quality and the wire is 14 gauge stranded copper. So it is fine for normal household usage.I rewired an old lamp and had no problems. I was able to use a wire stripper to cut through the sheathing and insulation. But it's a little easier if you can pull back the sheathing first. The braided sheathing frays a bit but cleans up well with a little heat from a butane lighter or a match.I'm planning to make an extension cord out of the leftover.This is a good value and I recommend it.
