Being an interior designer for many years, I have worked with a number of vendors. My experience with working with Xavier Yager at Lightology has been awesome. He has been dedicated to giving my company the most outstanding service. His vast knowledge of the lighting industry is extensive. Lightology always stands behind their products.

Alexander was amazing and spent over 20 minutes answering questions and guiding me to the correct LED bulbs for our new fixtures. He's very patient and sent photos so I could better understand what needs to happen now. I highly recommend him and he's an asset to Lightology!!

The absolute worst customer service and terrible return policy. Slow, delayed and unrealistic for a company with a website that ships domestically with no retail locations.

HORRIBLE! Bought a light fixture for over $500 and used a licensed electrician to install it. The light fixture never worked. Shipped it back to Lightology for a refund but they refuse to refund it, claiming the electrician did something wrong. He did not. He did a full commercial renovation for us and this is the ONLY product that had any issue. He followed the instructions to a tee and even called Lightology for additional support when it didn't work. I'm livid and out $500. DO NOT SHOP HERE. Their customer service is horrible and they will rob you blind.
