I'm after some 3 core & earth flex to run 300w motors on awnings.

TLC have two listed (top two)
http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Ind...e_2/index.html

The first one is described as 'heat resistant' but is cheaper than the
second one?

Confused of Medway

Why not ask 'em? Could just be old and new stock with a price difference.

Rather odd pricing. You can used heat resistant flex in place of standard
flex but not the other way around. Usually the heat resistant is more
expensve. It must be new stock of the standard flex and copper prices have
risen.

The heat resistant flex sounds something like the 16 amp one that is
intended for use with immersion heaters. In my experience that was
rather less flexible than the outwardly similar 16 amp flex that
wasn't advertised as heat resistant.

If you needed that greater flexibility, the heat resistant one
wouldn't be the one to go for.

Or use butyl which is more flexible than either. At a price, of course.
