Acropolis did it again. After helping us add new lighting and fans to the bedrooms and living room last year, Chad and Pat stepped up to improve our kitchen/dinning and dining annex. Remodeled in 2015, the existing lighting was OK, but oddly laid out, with can lights and a pendant running in straight line about a foot off the center of the room. And the faux Tiffany pendant, ugh. The annex featured a dated center track light. Chad plotted a better layout, pushing the cans toward the walls, adding more fixtures, and using some lensed lights for dramatic effect. And he helped us find a handcrafted centerpiece we love. They gave us good prices on quality products and the most valuable service, Chad's lighting design, was no extra charge. read more

I recently replaced all the exterior lighting at my house in Cambria. The staff at Acropolis was able to find marine grade fixtures that coordinate well with each other, and with the house. Definitely recommend! read more

Chad is the ultimate lighting guru in the Central Coast. Faced with a dated lighting scheme in our home, we vowed to make a dramatic update. Chad at Acropolis Lighting was our first and last stop. Not only did he have innovative suggestions to address our needs he offered to make a personal visit to more closely assess the prospective project. Once in our home, he came up with even more productive ideas to improve our lighting. The results have been more than we could have hoped for. Not only has the brighter lighting changed our overall environment, we now see our home with a different perspective. We feel like our home has a new lease on life. You will find few professionals who will have the degree of passion that Chad has for his trade. We highly recommend that you engage his services if you find your lighting lacking or in need of a change. Ed and Lorene Cabrera, SLO read more

We finally found some lights that worked for us and they were able to convert them into 12v in no time. The lights work great, thanks Acropolis!!

Acropolis - Lighting Fixtures & Equipment Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

It was Thursday and we were about to make a big mistake..new lighting was on our remodel list and we thought all we needed was a bunch of can lights and headed for Home Depot...We stopped into Acropolis Lighting on a whim and met Chad (owner)...we'd brought a simple floor plan sketch, just for reference, and Chad asked to see it...within moments he shared a vision that would transform our house into something spectacular.....we had no idea how powerful and impactful a professionally designed lighting solution would make. Let Acropolis do the same for you... read more

Top Choice For Lighting... - Pros: Hands-on assistance. Ability to take a fixture home. Recommended electrician. - Cons: None really - Overall: 5 - In Store Inventory: 4 - Assistance: 5 - Cost: 5 - Value: 5 - Friendliness: 5 - Ben Musson (electrician): 5 My wife and I moved into a new home in Nipomo in late April 2018, but we kept looking at a fairly big empty space above our dining room table. We knew something was needed, like a simple chandelier, and decided to visit the best reviewed lighting store in the area...Acropolis. - Location: Off the beaten path. The first time you go, you'll probably need directions from your car or smart phone. Acropolis is about 3/4 of a mile south of Higuera Street in a neighborhood of office buildings and light industrial warehouses. After one visit, it's easy. - Inventory: Substantial. Acropolis has lots of fixtures hanging from the ceiling, sitting on the floor or shelves and tucked into corners with a sampling of all major types of lighting. If you see something you like, but wonder if there's one a different size, shape, color or price, they've got many books and can help narrow the search quite quickly. - Assistance: Excellent. Shopping for lighting isn't something we do everyday, but Brady helped guide us through the showroom and offered ideas based on our answers to his questions. We focused on 2 fixtures in the store and compared them to alternatives in a book. Brady recommended taking one home for a few days to see how it looked. That was a great suggestion! - Price and Value: Reasonable. My wife and I chose the one we took home. When we brought the chandelier back to Acropolis, Brady said we could have it for $275 instead of ordering a new one for $330. We accepted his offer because it looked fine to us. Of course, price and value will depend on what you're in the market for. - Parking: Somewhat limited, but you don't need to look far to find it nearby. Since our new fixture would be located in part of the dining room without ready-to-go electrical access, we needed an electrician. Brady suggested Ben Musson because he does lots of work in our area, charges $75 per hour versus others at $100 and gets great feedback from his customers. Brady was right. Ben visited, examined the situation and made arrangements to return the following week. It took a bit longer than planned since he needed to wade through insulation in the attic/crawl space above our one floor home and make the proper connections, but the end result was great. The cost for 2 hours of Ben's work was $150 plus a little more for parts. For future lighting needs, we'd go to Acropolis and for electrical work Ben Musson will be on speed dial. read more

Pat is a lighting genius. They literally can find the right light for any situation. Would highly recommend working with Pat and his team.

Practically in tears from a different lighting store with tons of problems on an order that I was having installed in a few days... Acropolis was amazing, kind, generous with their time and help. They found problems in the lights I brought to them from a previous store. And helped me get the right parts so that the install would go perfectly. My gratitude is more than words can express. Acropolis is my new go-to lighting store! read more

The owner and staff at this lighting and fan store are exceptionally service oriented. We have purchased lights and fans. Needed a replacement LED for a fan . Went then to an electrical store for a replacement light socket for a ceiling light. They sent me to Acropolis, they carry everything I guess. What a great store. Oh BTW no charge! read more

Kudos and a huge thank you to Acropolis Lighting for creating such a warm and inviting atmosphere at our bar, The Siren, in Morro Bay. Both Chad and Brady clearly have a strong command of emerging lighting technology and were there for us every step of the way with wonderful suggestions on how to improve our customers' experience. We highly recommend Acropolis for any home or commercial lighting solution. Cheers, Paul and Kelly Boisclair read more

Glad the two reviews before me are positive ones, but with my experience, the worst customer service ever. Stollmeyer's was willing to help me--this would have been an order in the $500 to $700 range--but this place just wanted me gone. Condescending. I'd love to speak to the original owner and founder, not the "prodigal son." read more
