Bedford Lighting & Lampshades - Bedford Hills, New York

r consider

I love Bedford Lighting. Chris the salesperson especially helpful, smart and knowledgable. Bedford L puts the light together before you bring it home. Lamp choices are good looking. The lights they sell are made so that it is easy for Bedford L to stand by them in the unlikely event that something goes wrong. For example, if the electrical driver acts up, it can easily be replaced. I have a new lighting store!

Old-fashioned family-run business who knows the business. I had a very heavy pewter chandelier that needed to be rewired after having attempted to do it myself with half a day of significant frustration.

The woman I spoke with on the phone kept the shop open for me as I was going to arrive 15 minutes after they closed, to drop it off on my way to Manhattan. This was the first good sign toward a positive outcome.

Shop owner and electrician Drew called me a couple days later to give me a repair estimate. It was of course costly, due to the huge amount of labor that I experienced personally - out of my ability to perform. I authorized the work, which he successfully completed, including a ground wire which had not been installed originally and a written caution not to exceed 40 watt bulbs.

I did my own grand-finale smoke test, all bulbs lit, no smoke and I re-installed the chandelier without incident. In short, Drew saved me and my marriage.

You’ll see a couple of one-star reviews that have to do with shop access or response. So I suggest, if you go there and don’t see anyone to greet you right away as I did, go to the back to announce yourself. Again, they don’t just sell lamps; they are very busy repairing them.

The level of personal attention that you get from Chris and Drew Nichols at Bedford Lighting is what we’d all love to see at any retailer . They take the time to listen to what you need and to match it up with selections that fit your purpose . We have an older home and the sconces in one room needed to be replaced , but we wanted quality fixtures that were stylistically representative of the old ones . Chris developed a list of suggestions using their extensive on-line catalogue . She offered advice on pros and cons of each and we made a selection . Drew also installed switches on each fixture so that they could be turned on and off independently . The sconces are perfect for the room , and we could not be happier with the service and the quality of the product . The price was great too. Don’t go to a generic hardware or building supply store for lighting . Go to people who know what they’re doing and care about their customers . Bedford Lighting .

Wonderful craftsmanship! I had my grandmother’s victorian crystal lamp repaired and the shade is an exact replica of the original. Drew and Chris were wonderful too!

Bedford Lighting was amazing to work with. Chris helped us pick out the perfect pendants and chandelier for our kitchen. She makes the process easy, fast and fun. Highly recommend!

Exceptional! We first went to Bedford Lighting after our friends had highly recommended them for guidance on some key lighting pieces for our home. Chris and Drew did not disappoint! From the minute we met with them, they asked a myriad of questions about the dimensions, functions of the room and preferences that allowed us to think through what we really wanted. Within one visit we had chandeliers, sconces and other lighting chosen that were very specific to our taste. These days inventory selection and relationships with vendors are everything. Chris and Drew were able to provide both, with very detailed information from the vendors they work with to ensure that we received the chandeliers within specific projected windows of time. Additionally, they came to our home multiple times to make sure that the pieces were installed perfectly. We were floored with their attention to detail and incredible customer service. We are so happy with the lighting we purchased from Bedford Lighting and can't wait to work on additional projects with their team.

BUYER BEWARE. I previously bought lamps from this merchant. They were just okay. Today I went to return a $400.00+ light fixture that I bought less than a week ago. THEY WOULD NOT TAKE IT BACK OR GIVE ME STORE CREDIT. There was nothing wrong with the item except that I didn’t like the way it looked in the space where I was putting it.
I should have known better from the attitudes I originally got from the salesperson, Chris and the rude manager.
They make a big deal about shopping locally, but they do nothing to make you want to shop there. I will tell everyone I know what a disreputable establishment it is.

I was stuck trying to find the right pendant lights for my kitchen remodel. This place was amazing from start to finish. They were so patient with me, helping me choose from such a large variety of lights and listening to my vision in great depth. They were transparent about pricing and timing and truly it was just a pleasure to buy from this store. Would highly recommend.
