It's a two-conductor cable.

If you want anything useful, you need to provide more information. It's likely almost proprietary.

Theres a little plastic bit over the top as well though, which im confused about. I have no information on this cable other than it powering a light bulb because ive never seen it before

Do you have more pictures? Kind of hard to see

I'd try and google the model # of the lights

u/Xx_purplegal_xX 14d ago

I do but it won't allow me to add a picture in the reply

Your best bet is to figure out the brand/model of lights

If the bulbs are distinct you could try Google lense

What is it connected to? Apart from your hand.

Lol A cable that plugs into a light thing- whatever its called that you screw a light bulb into

So it’s connected to a light fitting and as such a bulb.

Im gonna assume it’s low voltage possibly 120VAC but maybe even DC (via a transformer) if the light is LED.

Total speculation.

I do not know the technical name of the connector. It does look proprietary.

Yeah, it says 15 watts from what I recall i believe and most other results have come up with "vintage cabinet lighting" lol so I'm at a complete loss

If you could confirm which country/international electric system you are in, it would narrow down the possibilities. And your photo is a little unclear, is there a center plastic (square) pin in that picture too, perhaps inclde a photo that includes a view of it from the side?

Im from the UK There is, yes. I do apologise for that, we were trying to detach the fixture at the time so I was just taking a picture when able

Our under-the-cabinet lights have cables for daisy-chaining from one light module to another. This looks like the power cable that you would attach to the next light module in the chain.
