lamp cord

Illumination power line

A lamp cord is the electrical cable that connects a lamp to a power outlet, typically consisting of two insulated wires running parallel.

The term often appears in hardware stores and DIY contexts: I need to replace the frayed lamp cord.

Lamp cord also serves as a generic name for lightweight two-conductor wire used in low-voltage applications.
