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. 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. ## Features - High-Quality Construction: Our Twin and Earth 2.5mm Cable is crafted with precision, using top-grade materials to ensure durability and long-lasting performance. - Versatile Options: Choose from a variety of lengths and size including 1mm, 1.5mm, 2.5mm, 4 mm, 6mm and 10 mm to cater to your project requirements, ranging from 1 meter to 100 meters. - Wide Applications: Perfect for both residential and commercial wiring projects, including lighting, power outlets, and more. - Compliance: Our Twin and Earth Cable is BASEC Approved, UKAS Certified. - Easy to Install: The cable's flexible design and smooth outer sheath make it easy to handle and install, reducing installation time and effort. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09G6N6JKM | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,058 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 5 in Electrical Wire | | Brand | Primes DIY | | Colour | Grey | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,285 Reviews | | Included Components | 4 MM Twin and Earth Cable 1 meter | | Manufacturer | Primes DIY | | Manufacturer Part Number | TW-ER-6242Y-CABS-4mm-1M | | Material | Polyvinyl Chloride | | No. of wires | 3 | | Number Of Wires | 3 | | Number of cable strands | Multi Strand | | Number of items | 1 | | Strands | Multi Strand | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Wire Diameter | 4 Millimetres | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Primes DIY - **Colour:** Blue,Grey,Brown - **Gauge:** 12.0 - **No. of wires:** 2 - **Number of cable strands:** Multi Strand ## Images ![PRIMES DIY 4MM Twin And Earth Cable 6242Y BASEC Approved Electrical Mains Socket Ring Wire, 1 Meter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UGHibAcHL.jpg) ![PRIMES DIY 4MM Twin And Earth Cable 6242Y BASEC Approved Electrical Mains Socket Ring Wire, 1 Meter - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zd-e+UAjL.jpg) ![PRIMES DIY 4MM Twin And Earth Cable 6242Y BASEC Approved Electrical Mains Socket Ring Wire, 1 Meter - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gaHsuGghL.jpg) ![PRIMES DIY 4MM Twin And Earth Cable 6242Y BASEC Approved Electrical Mains Socket Ring Wire, 1 Meter - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+az5ZLdUL.jpg) ![PRIMES DIY 4MM Twin And Earth Cable 6242Y BASEC Approved Electrical Mains Socket Ring Wire, 1 Meter - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JuGs35IuL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Cable Length** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality cable, flexible and easy to use *by M***R on 18 August 2025* This was found to be good quality electrical cable that you generally use for wiring a lighting circuit.
