2023 Light Fixture Store Reviews

Lowe's

• Over 40,000 light fixtures to choose from
• "A+" rated and accredited by the BBB
• Free in-store pickup
• Free delivery on orders of $45+
• 90-day return policy; retailer pays return shipping fees or return in-store

It's no surprise that Lowe's is a go-to for shoppers looking for light fixtures. The home improvement store serves a staggering 20 million customers per week, and their brick-and-mortar stores employ over 300,000 people. Celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2021, Lowe's has a lighting inventory you would expect from a store with such a long history, with more than 40,000 fixtures to consider.

Straightforward shopping here

Lowe's main page for Lighting & Ceiling Fans couldn't be more direct. Browse trendsetting styles, click on the image for the specific type of light fixture you need, get inspired by Lowe's lighting guide, or check out the smart home options for illuminating your home. Once you've chosen a category, you can typically shop by style or view all. Filters will be the best way to save yourself time, to rule out any light fixtures in a color, size, style or price range that won't fit your expectations.

Abundant product details

What do you want to know about a light fixture? Chances are, Lowe's will come right out and tell you in the product descriptions. Even the abbreviated versions shown in your product matches will give you plenty to go on, including lots of customer reviews: one of the benefits of shopping with a big-name retailer. Those shopper ratings often come with real-world photos of how the fixtures look in homes like yours.

Fancy is still on the menu

While Lowe's doesn't go to the upper-end extremes that we've seen with some light fixture retailers, you can still get some luxe looks here. How about a $17,000 polished chrome transitional chandelier by PLC Lighting or a $7500 Dragonfly bronze pendant by Troy Lighting? Some of these more unusual light fixtures were displayed yet unavailable during our most recent shopping trip here, and Lowe's lets you request to be notified when such items come back in stock.

Easy online ordering with in-store pickup or free delivery

Let's face it: sometimes that DIY urge strikes and you want to tackle that project right now... but it's midnight. Lowe's lets you shop online 24/7 and order the light fixture you want for pickup: just be sure to check the box that says "Free Store Pickup" and verify that the selected retail location is the one where you want to get it. Each light fixture has an indicator of how many are in stock at any given store location. Of course, if you're not in a rush, you can benefit from Lowe's free delivery on orders of $45 and up.

Get installation through an independent partner contractor

Maybe you're like us and you want to avoid the whole installation part of getting new lighting. Lowe's has you covered. You'll find your options both during the checkout process and on the lighting homepage. Lowe's partners with independent contractors in the lower 48 United States, so naturally installation will be subject to availability. But, if you've got it in your area, it saves you the step of having to find a vetted, skilled professional to take care of it for you.

Terrific customer service

Lowe's is known for being very customer-centric. You'll see that in their 90-day return policy, which ties for first place in terms of generosity. However, if you return your light fixture by mail instead of in person, be prepared to pay for the return shipping costs. (It's probably better to take it to a retail location nearby.) Lowe's is recognized as an accredited, "A+" rated retailer by the Better Business Bureau, and most shoppers have nothing but love for the company.

"Improving Home Improvement"

Lowe's can be trusted to help you with your next project that involves light fixtures. From functional to fashionable, traditional to trendy, their inventory has plenty to discover. And, it goes without saying that you can't beat the convenience of a 90-day return policy, free shipping on most orders, and hassle-free in-store pickup and return options. Count on Lowe's for your lighting and general home improvement needs.
