We redid the lighting at our exhibition space and I had the idea of curling the cables (rolled them around a stick)
Now they look like huge telephone cables.

If you take one end and turn the curl by 90 degree then push this turn through the whole cable the curls will be much tighter. Don't know how to describe it, I can look it up if you don't understand.
Kinda hurts my brain trying to think about it - would you look it up?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE6d2ZaTWwk it's the second part of this 50sec video. It will look even cleaner than in this video, because your cable is coiled neatly already.
They call it "reversing the coil" in this video.
Nice, thanks so much. I didn't know you could coil with stranded cores after production.
Our cables are solid cores, so they stay in shape on their own.
stares blankly uhh.... ?
