Clear Flexible Cord 3 Core 0.75 mm²
Whether you're touching up a room, rewiring a lamp, or setting up a custom lighting plan, having the right cord truly matters. The Claire Clear Flexible Cord offers the flexibility and transparency ideal for clean, discreet installations in South African households and offices.

Down in Paarl, one of our neighbours recently used this clear cord to install pendant lights across their stoep, giving a festive but uncluttered look for a family braai. The transparent outer layer made the install look practically invisible, and helped their fairy-style setup blend right in!

Smart Design Details
With its crystal-clear flexible insulation, this cord not only hides well against most surfaces but also takes the pressure of bending in tight corners. Rated at 230VAC, it’s safe for normal indoor installations, and thanks to its IP20 rating, is perfectly suited for lounge, kitchen, and office use — just steer clear of damp zones.
Micro-summary: Smart circuits start with smart cables – safe, flexible, and stealthy.
Practical Note: Always avoid running it through walls or ceilings without conduit – it’s designed for visible surface use indoors.
