Also known as zip cord, this cable has wires that can be separated for installation. It’s often used in small appliances and has a flat shape to fit in tight spaces.
SPT-1 cable is often used in lamps and radios.
HPN cable is often used with heating appliances, such as portable heaters and soldering irons.

Light Duty Power Cords







Designed for indoor applications, these cords are often used to power appliances.
Cords with a 90° elbow plug fit flush against a wall outlet for use behind machinery or in areas where space is tight.
SPT cords have a flat cord shape so they fit in tight spaces. The numbers 1, 2, and 3 indicate the relative thickness of the insulation. SPT-3 is the thickest, so it is less flexible but more durable than -1 and -2 cords.
Use SJT cords in dry or damp locations.

Power Cords










Connect equipment and devices to a power supply.
Cords with a NEMA 14-30 or 14-50 plug are often used to power electric vehicles. They have a high current rating.
Cords with a 90° elbow plug fit flush against a wall outlet, so they fit behind machinery or in areas where space is tight.
SVT cords are ultra-flexible and as pliable as vacuum cleaner cords. They withstand repeated winding. SJEOW cords have an oil- and water-resistant insulation. The insulation on STW and SJTW cords resists water. Use SJT cords in dry or damp locations. SRDT cords are for use with high-current equipment, such as ranges and dryers.

GFCI Power Cords


Stop electric shocks before they happen—these cords cut power to equipment when they detect an unsafe current. Once the surge has passed, an automatic reset resumes the flow of power. These SJTW cords have insulation that protects them from water, so they’re safe to use in outdoor charging stations and other wet areas. To help it fit behind machinery and in other tight spaces, the plug has a 90° elbow that sits flush against outlets. Hardwire the other end to your equipment or attach an electrical connector to make your own GFCI-protected extension cord.

Plug-In Ceiling Lights





No need for wiring—these lights plug into a standard wall outlet. Also known as shop lights, they suspend from your ceiling or can be surface mounted with the included hardware. Their smooth, frosted lens disperses light and reduces glare. Since the lens is polycarbonate, these lights stand up to bumps. ETL listed for use in damp locations, they also withstand humidity and moisture.
Style A have a slim profile so they fit in narrow spaces.
Styles B-D can be chained together by plugging their power cord into the power outlet on the previous light. Style B save energy by using a motion sensor to turn on only when the room is occupied. Adjust everything from brightness to sensor range to timer duration with the included remote. Style C are the brightest plug-in ceiling light, so they’re ideal for large areas.
Style E have three different light appearance settings, so you can adjust them to match other lights nearby. Plug them in or hardwire them into an outlet box. They can be plugged directly to the previous light to create a continuous strip of light, or spaced 12" apart with the included connecting cord.
Neutral lights are often found in workspaces. Cool lights highlight white and blue tones. This is ideal for inspection areas, workshops, and other areas that require high visibility. Warm lights have a yellow tone similar to incandescent lights.

Small-Room Ceiling Lights

Update standard outlet boxes in closets, hallways, and storage rooms to use LED light. These ceiling lights are good for tight spaces because they have a lower profile than standard bulbs and a polycarbonate housing that shields them from impact. Their LED bulb lasts longer, is more efficient, and generates less heat than other light technologies. They produce warm light, which looks like the light from incandescent bulbs. All meet NFPA 70 safety standards for lights in clothing closets.
