SPT refers to the thickness of the plastic insulation on lamp wire:
- This lamp cord set is rated SPT-2. It has a thicker plastic insulation covering than traditional SPT-1. The thicker plastic provides more protection and resistant to abrasion. It is designed for table & floor lamps. Slipping SPT-2 wire through 3/8" - 1/8 IP lamp pipe can be tight.
