1 Stop Lighting is the flagship brand in the Homeclick Group, which also includes Patio Products USA, Bailey Street Home, and several other companies. In business since 2003 and headquartered in Sacramento, this retailer offers ALA-trained and certified product experts to help you make the right decision on your light fixture purchase.

Get inspired

Not sure what you're looking for? The 1 Stop Lighting online store can give you plenty of ideas. We particularly liked the current year's trending styles section (especially for those of us not savvy enough to know what's hot in light fixtures at the moment!). Another helpful section is "Shop by Room" , making it easy to envision what might work well in your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom or other area of the house. Need it quick? Just keep scrolling until you get to the "Same Day Shipping" part of the page.

Ultra-specific filters if you want them

Of course, if you already know you're looking for a chandelier, ceiling fan, wall light or any other type of fixture, you can go directly to that category and start working your way through the options. There are over 35,000 total light fixtures to choose from, so we recommend that you use the filters to narrow them down. For example, in the Chandeliers category, you can click on product images to shop by style, like Farmhouse or Urban, or keep going down the page to find the filters: brand, finish, collection, number of lights, even really specific criteria like "dark sky friendly" and "UL" rating.

Find out all the details

When you get to the product page of a light fixture you like, there will be ample information to help you decide if it's the one you want. Numerous photos, detailed specs, and customer reviews are just a few of the ways 1 Stop Lighting makes it easy to know what you're getting before you place an order. Conveniently, you can also see if the fixture is in stock and, if so, when it would probably be shipped to your zip code. Finally, if the current price is a little high for your liking, you can click on the "Get Sale Alerts" button and be notified when your preferred light fixture is available for a more wallet-friendly price.

Discounts to be had

Want extra savings? While we browsed the 1 Stop Lighting site, we were offered an "up to 25% coupon" if we signed up for their email newsletter. It seemed a little strange that they didn't come out and give us a set discount amount. Fortunately, cthere was a promotional code for 25% off at the top of the page; we didn't even need to bother with the email subscription. Also, you'll get free shipping on all orders over $49, which should include most light fixtures here.

On time delivery guaranteed

This retailer has a few more customer perks we like. You'll get price matching within 14 days of placing an order: if you find your light fixture sold somewhere else for a lower price, 1 Stop Lighting will match or beat it and refund you the difference. Plus, the company has a "delivery special" if your order isn't delivered in the number of business days you were promised at the time you made the purchase, you'll get a $25 refund. That's a breath of fresh air compared with some rivals who take your money and then switch up the shipping date from "within a week" to "maybe in a month or two" !

Be mindful of return costs on heavy items

How about returns? You'll have 30 days to get a refund on your light fixture, and in some cases 1 Stop Lighting will cover the return delivery costs. It has to be a product listed in their included manufacturers, and it doesn't apply if your light fixture was heavy enough to need freight delivery. That's important to note, because it's one of the few complaints we found about this store. Customers were expecting to have no-fee returns but wound up with hefty charges of a couple hundred dollars on the heaviest light fixtures.

High praise from most customers

Beyond that, most shoppers are thrilled with the experience here. We found thousands of five-star ratings, praising 1 Stop Lighting's unbeatable inventory, exceptionally-friendly customer service team, and super-fast delivery times. The Better Business Bureau agrees, giving the store a perfect "A+" and accreditation as well.

Solid pick for online-only shopping

Overall, 1 Stop Lighting is a great option for online-only shopping for light fixtures. While you won't get the convenience of in-store returns or same-day pickup, there are plenty of perks here that make up the difference. And, you may be able to find fixtures here that aren't available at major home improvement stores. This is one of our preferred stores for most lighting needs.
