Have a couple wall sconces that used halogen bulbs. This old style bulb gives good light but get unbelievably hot. So hot we have not used them in years. There a fire hazard. Stopped in to look for some new fixtures and discovered the lighting center has retro fit led bulbs for these fixtures. 30 bucks for bulbs vs 400 bucks for new fixtures. This is a big win. Thank you

What a great experience!!! They went above and beyond for me. I have been calling stores trying to find a special set of light bulbs and not only did they have it but made sure it was the right one. Extremely knowledgable on all lighting products and they even went out of their way to find me a cap cover that I had lost for my light fixture in my move, for free!!! They made sure I had all the parts and were super friendly. What a selection of gorgeous light fixtures too. They were true professionals in their field and well priced. Thank you for your exceptional service today!

Went in to look at selection as I was overwhelmed with too many options online. Took a look around the gorgeous showroom and walked out with a fabulous pendant fixture for a great price. Definitely recommend visiting this locations as-is section!

I came to visit a couple of times, willing to pay the extra (vs. online purchase) to support the business, local and expecting there would be a better customer service, when, in fact, there was not a single argument supporting the choice. Beside the after-sale service being pretty much non-existant in the case of buying a ceiling fan (that could potentially be nothing like the picture, too loud, too big, too low or unfaithful to the quoted specs), whatever enquiry I had couldn't be fulfilled with a productive
