Hi. I want to replace a flex feeding a quartz heater lamp on my patio wall. The lamp is 1.3kw which, using your chart above, I would consider a 1.0mm flex more than adequate (I have some 1.0mm kicking around).
The original flex fitted by the manufacturer is 1.5mm and the label states \\\"heat resistant flex to be used\\\". I find the heat resistant note odd as the flex clearly does not touch the casing at any point. Why would I need to use heat flex? Is this a reg?
Also, the existing flex looks like the rubber type which I can only find available in Black. My whole aim is to fit a white flex (my wall is painted white). Do I need to use the rubber flex? What is the purpose of rubber instead of PVC?
Many thanks
