Beautiful selection and fabulous customer service. I purchased a light for the bathroom vanity. Perfect. I can't wait for the bathroom remodel to be finished.
Update: love how everything has turned out.
I recommend this store.

Came in for two lights for our stairs and track lighting for another room. Absolutely a great experience. Large showroom and if they don’t have what you’re looking for in the showroom, they have tons of catalogs to look through. I found my track lighting through the catalog and stair lights in the store. All arrived within 5 days. Needed assistance with the track lighting install and they answered my question with a simple phone call. The prices are totally around internet prices but they don’t charge for shipping. So it was actually cheaper and I’m supporting a local business. This is the third time I’ve purchased lights here and will be back again. You can’t go wrong!

Great experience going in. The staff was knowledgeable about their products and what would be good for you. Unfortunately I cant give them 5 stars due to issues with customer service.

Their policy is that they don't call their customers to relay information. I ordered a product that was due within a week. I received no phone call the day the item was due. The next day I physically went in to check, I was told the item had been back ordered and was 3 weeks out. Why no phone call? Their response was "we have so much going on we can't call everyone".

The bottom line is a local business HAS to compete with internet businesses in this day and age. If someone can get something for a better price and faster, then your only angle is customer service. A phone call could have saved them a sale and potential future customer and recommendation. Instead you insult them by saying "thanks for keeping it local" as they walk out. No, thank you for showing how much you actually care about your customers.

Mike and Joe are the best. They really helped me along in my first lighting project as I ran into various technical issues, and we all learned a lot along the way (like not all brand track lighting is interchangeable, despite the same technical specs). If you are upgrading to LEDs, it will really help you to be an informed consumer as the LED market is changing rapidly. Read about color rendering index and TM-30 standards. For example, if you have a saturated color scheme (reds, oranges), you want high color rendering (CRI) of 90+ for lights with an R9 value >50. Lighting companies may only provide this type of data to an authorized dealer like Northern Lights, so it's great we have them around. 1000% support this local business.

I went in to purchase two new bathroom vanity lights. I mentioned that my current lights were only a year old but they are having issues and Lowes discontinued them for this reason. The gentleman in the store stopped me from buying the new fixtures and said he may be able to fix my existing ones with some spare parts. I already had one of the fixtures down so I brought it in. Upon further inspection the fixtures were deemed not worth to fix. I was very impressed that Northern Lights wasn't just after a sale and they tried to help me with a more affordable option. I ended up selecting two very stunning fixtures that are period correct for my 1905 home, of great quality and even a great price! These will be much more beautiful and much higher quality than what I originally had.

We've used Northern Lights for several big projects and it's the BEST for help with selection and keeping it in the budget. Their selection in the store is great, and they also have catalogs in a huge range of styles and prices. I've checked other places and Northern Lights is truly the best!

I just called the store to ask if they carry replacement platform (I called it disc thingy) for a ceiling fan. They don't, but answered my questions about watts and measuring and I think I can order something now that will work. Very helpful. Thank you.

For years I have used Northern Lights for all my lighting needs. I find them courteous and willing to go the extra mile to help. They are excellent at helping to solve lighting issues that you might be encountering. I can't recommend them more highly.
