C&C Lighting

Both finishes use the same warm gold interior, so the glow quality and light wash effect are identical. The choice is purely about how the fixture looks on the wall when unlit and how it contrasts with the interior.

• Black with gold interior: High contrast. The matte black exterior recedes on light-coloured walls and creates a bold focal point on dark or accent walls. Works well in modern, industrial, and dramatic hospitality environments.
• White with gold interior: Softer contrast. The white exterior blends with lighter ceilings and walls while the gold interior still provides visual warmth. Works well in Scandinavian, transitional, and lighter residential interiors.

The Cinch uses two E12 candelabra-base sockets. Bulbs are not included, which gives you full control over brightness, color temperature, and energy use. Here are the key considerations:

• Socket type: E12 candelabra base. This is a small-base socket common in decorative fixtures. Standard E26 (medium base) bulbs will not fit.
• Bulb shape: Because the top and bottom of the fixture are open, the bulb itself is partially visible from certain angles. A flame-tip or globe-style E12 bulb tends to look intentional in this application.
• Color temperature: The gold interior amplifies warm tones. A 2700K to 3000K bulb reinforces the warm, ambient atmosphere the fixture is designed to create. Cooler bulbs (4000K+) will look less natural against the gold finish.
• Wattage: The spec sheet lists 120V input. Confirm the maximum wattage per socket with your electrician before selecting bulbs, particularly if using incandescent or halogen E12 types.
• LED recommendation: LED E12 candelabra bulbs are strongly recommended for heat management and energy efficiency, as the metal housing retains heat and enclosed incandescent bulbs shorten fixture life.

• Entryways and foyers: The sculptural form makes a strong first impression. Pair two units symmetrically on either side of a mirror or art piece for a balanced architectural statement.
• Hallways and corridors: The up-down wash lights the wall surface above and below, creating rhythm and depth in long corridor runs without taking up floor space.
• Living rooms and bedrooms: Used as bedside sconces or flanking a fireplace, the warm gold glow adds ambient light with a design-forward alternative to standard wall fixtures.
• Feature walls: The twisted form reads as sculpture when installed on a textured stone, tile, or painted accent wall where the up-down wash emphasizes wall surface detail.
• Hospitality interiors: Hotels, restaurants, and bars benefit from the warm metallic interior at lower dimmed levels where the gold glow creates intimate atmosphere.

• The fixture mounts to a standard wall electrical box via the included concealed backplate. The backplate attaches first, then the fixture body covers it completely.
• This fixture is rated for 120V input. Confirm your wall circuit is 120V before installation.
• Two E12 candelabra sockets are wired inside the fixture body. Install bulbs before mounting or ensure access is possible after mounting, depending on your ceiling and wall configuration.
• The fixture is designed for dry interior locations. It is not rated for damp or wet environments.
• Installation should be completed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes.

Are bulbs included?
No. The Cinch uses two E12 candelabra-base sockets and ships without bulbs. This lets you choose the brightness and color temperature that suits your space. We recommend 2700K to 3000K LED E12 candelabra bulbs for best results with the gold interior.

Can this fixture be used outdoors or in a bathroom?
The spec sheet does not list a wet or damp location rating. The Cinch is intended for dry interior installations. Do not install it in bathrooms, outdoor covered areas, or any location subject to moisture.

Can I dim this fixture?
Dimmability depends on the bulbs you install. If you use dimmable E12 LED candelabra bulbs and pair them with a compatible LED dimmer, the fixture will dim. The fixture body itself does not contain a driver, so all dimming control is through the bulb and dimmer switch.

How does the fixture mount to the wall?
It wall-mounts via a concealed backplate that attaches to a standard electrical box. The fixture body then covers the backplate completely, leaving no visible mounting hardware.

Is the gold interior the same on both finish options?
Yes. Both the Black and White exterior versions have the same warm gold metallic interior finish, so the light quality and visual effect are identical.
