2022 Light Fixture Store Reviews

Home Depot

It'll only take a few clicks to get everything you need for your lighting project when shopping at The Home Depot's online storefront. All experience levels are welcome, from aspiring DIY homeowners to industry professionals: get all the help you need or jump in and order what you want. Home Depot's got your back with free delivery or in-store pickup on just about everything, the most generous return policy around, and easy-breezy online shopping. The Home Depot gets our highest recommendation for buying light fixtures.

Lamps Plus

Let's get right to the point: we love Lamps Plus! This lighting expert gives you many tools to guide you through the buying process, including novel features like seeing how a fixture would look in your room and free consultations with design pros. Lamps Plus is a customer favorite with thousands of 5-star reviews, tons of options for light fixtures and more, and a generous return policy if you need it. Shop here with confidence!

Lowe's

As one of two big-box home improvement retailers in our evaluation, Lowe's comes in just a little behind its big-name rival - but it's still a fantastic place to shop for light fixtures. With over 40,000 lighting options that you can order online and get delivered for free or pick up in-store, plus the convenience of a 90-day return policy, Lowe's can definitely help you get your next lighting project done.

1 Stop Lighting

1 Stop Lighting gives you access to light fixtures you might not find in stock with other retailers, even your favorite big-name home improvement stores. In addition to a terrific inventory, this lighting specialty store keeps customers happy with a price match guarantee, helpful product information and sale alerts, and a decent return policy. Just watch out for the return shipping fees if your light fixture requires freight delivery! Other than that, 1 Stop Lighting gets plenty of compliments from happy customers and should be high on your list of retailers to consider.

Bellacor

Bellacor gives you access to unique light fixtures that you have probably never seen before, in addition to carrying more traditional styles in their inventory of more than 65,000 products. The store has a good reputation and customers rave about the fixtures themselves, but watch out for items that are out of stock or that have a long delivery timeframe. Shoppers looking for one-of-a-kind designs will enjoy buying light fixtures from Bellacor.

Lumens

Lumens Light + Living is a lighting specialist, carrying more than 25,000 fixtures suitable for any part of your home. This online store is easy to shop, and their selection ranges from traditional to eclectic and everything in between. Most shoppers give Lumens high marks for unique, high-quality light fixtures and for solid customer service. It's a good retailer to try if you're not finding what you need elsewhere.

Wayfair

You'll have a hard time finding a selection of light fixtures more vast than Wayfair's. This retailer of all things home has everything from basic replacements for your outdoor lights to an antler chandelier you might find at a theme park! There's plenty of shopper feedback on most products, and you'll get free shipping if your order is over $35. The only reason not to shop here for light fixtures is the lack of expert help: if you're not confident in your installation abilities or product selection, you won't get much input from Wayfair before or after your purchase.

1 800 Lighting

Capital Lighting has been in business for almost 100 years, and they offer the best of their inventory through the 1 800 Lighting site. While their online store shows over 50,000 light fixtures, we found more than a few that had an expected ship date of at least two months into the future: not great if you wanted to get that project done in the next week or so! Overall, customer feedback for 1 800 Lighting is solid but most of their rivals do a better job of getting your lighting delivered sooner.

Lights Online

Lights Online has plenty of history in the lighting industry, and their online store has thousands of light fixtures for you to choose from - if they're actually in stock. While there are plenty of positive things to say about their customer service, from a 110% price match guarantee to the company's "A+" rating from the BBB, challenges in finding products not marked as "out of stock" and a less-than-intuitive online shopping experience keep Lights Online from earning a rating beyond "just average" .

Light in the Box

If you need a good laugh, shop for light fixtures at Light in the Box. Not only do they have thousands of unusual lighting options, but your shopping cart could also have women's boots, fishing lures, and an iPad keyboard! That's where the good time ends, though: this store has a terrible reputation, demonstrated only in part by a lack of a satisfaction guarantee, high shipping fees, and completely unreliable customer service. Shop at Light in the Box if you want to be amused, but ultimately you'll be choosing a different retailer for your light fixtures.
