Product Information
Full details
The First Choice Lighting Sundance Lamp Shade is designed for homeowners and interior decorators looking to add a touch of sophisticated drama to their living spaces. Its primary benefit is its versatile, dual-purpose design that works equally well as a pendant light or a table lamp shade, featuring a stylish black exterior and a reflective gold interior. While the shade provides excellent aesthetic appeal and easy installation, users should note that the fitting is specific to E27 ES bulbs, so ensure your existing hardware is compatible before purchase.

FAQs
Can I use this with a B22 bayonet bulb?
No, this shade is specifically designed for E27 ES (Edison Screw) fittings.
Is the gold interior heat resistant?
Yes, the materials are designed to withstand heat from standard bulbs up to 42W, including modern LED bulbs.
Does this include the lamp base or ceiling cable?
No, this product is the shade only. You will need an existing lamp base or pendant cable set to install it.
Can I use this in a bathroom?
It is not recommended for high-humidity areas like bathrooms unless the room is exceptionally well-ventilated, to avoid potential tarnishing of the gold finish.
What is the maximum wattage allowed?
The shade is rated for use with bulbs up to 42W.
Is the black finish matte or glossy?
The exterior features a modern matte black finish.
Troubleshooting
The shade feels loose on the fixture
Ensure the retaining ring on the bulb socket is tightened firmly against the shade mounting plate.
Light output is too harsh
Switch to a lower wattage LED bulb or a 'warm white' color temperature bulb to complement the gold lining.
Shade appears crooked
Check that the shade spider (the metal frame inside) is properly centered on the socket and that the bulb is screwed in straight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Sundance shade is straightforward. Simply unscrew the retaining ring from your existing E27 ES lamp holder, place the shade mounting ring onto the socket, and screw the retaining ring back on to secure it in place.
Compatibility: This shade is designed for use with E27 ES (Edison Screw) fittings. It supports bulbs up to 42W.
Care Instructions: To maintain the finish, dust the black exterior with a dry microfiber cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges on the gold interior, as these may scratch or tarnish the metallic finish. If deeper cleaning is needed, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and ensure the shade is completely dry before reattaching it to the light fixture.
