Product Information
Full details
The First Choice Lighting Star Two Tier Lamp Shade is an ideal decor upgrade for homeowners and parents looking to add a playful, celestial touch to bedrooms, nurseries, or living areas without complex renovation. Its primary benefit is the tool-free, easy-fit installation that attaches directly to existing pendant fixtures, though users should be mindful of the physical bulb dimensions to ensure the shade sits correctly on their specific fitting.

FAQs
Does this shade come with the electrical cable and ceiling rose?
No, this is a lampshade only. It is designed to fit onto your existing pendant lighting cable.
Can I use this with a dimmer switch?
Yes, it is compatible with dimming, provided you are using a dimmable LED bulb.
What is the maximum bulb wattage allowed?
The shade is rated for a maximum of 60W.
Is the shade made of fabric or metal?
The shade is constructed from durable material designed for interior use, finished in a blue and grey color scheme.
Will this fit an E27 fitting?
Yes, it is compatible with both B22 BC and E27 ES fittings.
How do I clean the inside of the tiers?
You can use a duster with a long handle to reach inside the two tiers, or remove the shade from the ceiling for a more thorough cleaning with a dry cloth.
Troubleshooting
The shade sits unevenly on the pendant cable
Ensure the shade is centered on the lamp holder ring before tightening the retaining screw firmly.
Light is too bright or harsh through the stars
Swap the existing bulb for a lower-lumen LED bulb or a frosted/opal finish bulb to soften the projection.
Bulb is too long for the shade
Use a shorter 'golf ball' style LED bulb to ensure the lamp remains concealed within the shade tiers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the easy-fit design. To set it up, simply unscrew the retaining ring from your existing pendant cable, slide the shade over the lamp holder, and replace the retaining ring to secure it firmly in place.
Compatibility Requirements:
- Max bulb wattage: 60W
- Supported fittings: B22 BC or E27 ES
- Bulb dimensions: Please ensure your chosen bulb is not excessively long, as it may protrude from the bottom of the two-tier structure.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the appearance, gently dust the shade with a microfiber cloth or use a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner on a low setting. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the finish of the blue and grey coating.
