Bellacor Review: Light Bulb Stores

Bellacor is a leading online retailer in the home furnishings and lighting space. They're based out of Minnesota in the Twin Cities. The company carries over 200,000 products, many of them being designer-preferred brands. You'll find everything from ottomans to mailboxes to smart home light bulbs here. You could even browse their "Rooms and Ideas" categories if you need a little inspiration for your next home design project.

Small selection

Although Bellacor has a huge assortment of products, light bulbs themselves aren't their bread and butter. In all, they only have 340 bulbs. This includes candelabras, globes, linear bulbs, MR bulbs, PAR bulbs, reflectors, specialty bulbs, tube bulbs, LEDs, and smart home bulbs. It's probably a big enough selection to give you the basics that you'd need for the light fixtures they sell, but it's a much smaller variety than what you can find elsewhere. For example, you won't find grow lights here or a lot of cool vintage bulbs. It's just not a one-stop-shop.

Thorough product details

For any given bulb you're viewing, you can expect it to ship in 1-2 business days as long as it's in-stock. You'll be able to view a price for the bulb, see an estimated delivery date, and read the specifications, product description, reviews (if any) and return details. Depending on the light bulb, sometimes they have a minimum, meaning the price you see is only available if you purchase at least a few (usually 4) of the bulb. If you are trying to buy in bulk, Bellacor will list how many of any given item they have in-stock so you'll know whether or not you can get everything you need.

Some savings opportunities

If you're up for a little email marketing in your inbox, you can sign up with Bellacor and receive a 20% off code for your next full-priced purchase. You also might score a little deal if Bellacor is running a special sale. At the time of this review, they were offering 5-10% off eligible items with a discount code. It's not a lot of savings, but we'll take what we can get.

Free shipping on orders over $79

If you spend over $79 at Bellacor, you'll get free shipping. For orders less than this amount, a $14.99 charge will be applied. If you receive your light bulbs and decide they aren't going to work for what you need, you can send them back to the company within 30 days from the order delivery date. The refunds for returns go to the original form of payment, less the cost of shipping.

Highly rated fixtures and furniture

Bellacor has an "A+" rating from the Better Business Bureau and generally really high reviews from customers. People appreciate that their orders are packaged carefully and are of very high quality. The majority of people who leave feedback for Bellacor typically purchased some type of light fixture or piece of furniture. We didn't find much by way of light bulb purchases, but we can't imagine there would be any issues with these products.

Unimpressive inventory

Bellacor is a great destination for beautiful light fixtures and decor to take your interior and exterior design to the next level. If you are looking for a really basic light bulb or something to replace the bulbs in a light you purchased from the company, go ahead and check out their inventory. However, light bulbs aren't their main priority or product and their inventory is quite small when compared to other places. Because of this, Bellacor isn't one of the first places we'd check when we're needing light bulb replacements.
