Braided decorative textile cable

Braided decorative textile cable: add character and durability to your lighting designs

Braided decorative textile cables are one of the most popular choices for visible electrical wiring in lamps and lighting projects. Their interwoven texture not only provides a unique vintage or industrial look but also increases the cable’s strength and flexibility. At Lighting DIY, we offer a wide range of colours, materials and diameters so you can personalise each detail of your installations.
