English term or phrase: lighting loom
Bonjour,

Je traduis un manuel pour une tondeuse à gazon et dans les améliorations apportées à la machine, apparaît "a waterproof lighting loom". "Manche lumineux" ne me semble pas forcément convenir.

Qu'en pensez-vous ?

Merci de votre aide :)

faisceau de conducteurs / fils pour l'éclairage
Explanation:
On the assumption they are referring to a WIRING loom — which would be consistent with 'lighting'!

A 'wiring loom' is basically a bundle of wires all run together (aka a harness) — whence the term 'faisceau'.

'Lighting' here of course probably doesn't really mean 'illumination' in the sense of say stage lighting, but rather, the vehicle lights; presumably at least headlamps, but your wider context might give more information that would allow you to narrow it down, in which case, you might be able to be more specific — whether or not it has full road-legal lights like a car, for example...

If the term 'loom' seems a little pretentious for something so basic, you might consider translating it as if it were indeed 'wiring loom' and just going for 'câblage', leaving off the 'loom' part — but again, it all depends on context, what if anything they go on to say about it, etc.

It should be noted that 'lighting' is only used in EN for 'illumination / éclairage' etc. — its use in the sense of 'ignition' / 'allumage' is informal and to be deprecated in any technical context — 'lighting the gas using a match'; even though we might say 'despite several attemps, the boiler failed to light', the use of 'lighting' is confined to certain expressions, and is almost always used transitively: 'boiler lighting must be performed in the correct sequence'; used intransitively (and without even any implied direct object), as it is here, it can only refer to 'illumination'.

"Electronic Ignition Wiring Loom
Of course you have the benefit of a brand new item when you purchase an electronic ignition
wiring loom, ie. not brittle, corroded or patched together as the predecessor may be.
A further advantage is that you can ditch the junction box”
