The thickness feels consistent and substantial along the full length, with no thin or weak spots. Flexibility is good too, making it easy to route around corners and through tight spaces without excessive kinking or stiffness. Identification is clear and straightforward, with the live, neutral, and earth cores easy to distinguish at a glance, which makes wiring work much more straightforward. The outer sheathing is tough and easy to work with, stripping cleanly without fraying. Being BASEC approved gives peace of mind that it meets proper safety standards. Used as part of a ring main installation carried out with appropriate care, and it performed exactly as expected. Good value for genuine compliant cable rather than questionable cheaper alternatives.” ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality cable for DIY electrical work *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 14 November 2025* 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.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Primes DIY Electric Socket wire cable 6mm Twin and Earth Flat Grey PVC Lighting Electric Cable 6242Y electrical Wire BASEC Approved (2 Meter) - Merriway BH01484 Earth Sleeving, 2.0mm Yellow & Green, 1 Metre (39 inch) 2.0 mm Underground Pipe, Yellow/Green, 1 m - Merriway BH04896 (50 Pcs) Flat Cable Clip for Twin & Earth, Grey 1.5mm - Pack of 50 Pieces --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/374313092-primes-diy-electric-socket-wire-cable-6mm-twin-and-earth](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/374313092-primes-diy-electric-socket-wire-cable-6mm-twin-and-earth) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
