Been using them for years. Always helpful. Prices are reasonable and they deliver. All the employees are great but Carlos is my guy.

I had trouble with using a led lamp in a halogen application which is required in Calif . CME helped me get the right transformer and led lamp to make things work. Very nice people with great knowledge of lighting and electricity. They also were able to recommend an electrician to help who did a great job. I will look to CME for any lighting needs including parts for older lamps. read more

When one has an old lamp that requires a long neck three way light bulb DURING COVID became a nightmare! Seems California no longer carries incandescent bulbs that would fir my lamp. I contacted this company via their email and could NOT be any happier with them. They were prompt in their response and because we are in lockdown to to exposure shopping is impossible. When asked if they could/would ship, I received another prompt reply from Doug, who has SOLVED our problem. And the LED will last FAR longer than our old bulb, so win win for me! The customer service here is stellar! read more

I am in the middle of a salon buildout and had to find the right lights. I can't believe this place is right by my house! Kristian and the staff are not only friendly but know what they're talking about. I got all of the lights for my space here. read more

CME Lighting Supply - Love my 2x2 lights! - Lighting Fixtures & Equipment Near Me - Concord, California

See all

Just wanted to recognize Stephanie Aiken and the team at CME. Went there today to find an outdoor light that was brighter than my dim-ass current one; I only needed one and they had a minimum order requirement so Stephanie just gave me the bulb for free! This is a one stop shop for all of your home garden and specialized lighting needs ...really cool bulbs and they can educate you as to what features would best suit you for the products you're seeking. Thanks CME Lighting Supply! read more

What a great company to work with. Carlos was very helpful and cooperative when we had a problem. My go to store now for all my lighting needs read more

Very knowledgeable and I'm glad our electrician/friend recommended them. Any project or question they are helpful.

I recently upgraded many fluorescent, incandescent and landscaping light bulbs to LED lighting. Carlos was incredibly helpful, patient, knowledgeable and offered personalized service. I highly recommend both Carlos and CME for your light buying needs. read more

These guys are the best.....I have been going here for years for lighting supplies. It is real simple.....if they don't have it then no one has it. Go visit these guys and see Carlos. He is super helpful read more

I stopped in the other day for some hard to find light bulbs and was helped by Carlos. Super nice guy and very knowledgeable. This is a true mom and pop business that truly cares about everyone that walks through the door. I only spent $40 with them but was treated like I spent $4000. read more

Steve and his staff are excellent. They've been supplying me with all of my fixture and lamp solutions, at the Concord Pavilion, for years. This week he made trips out in consecutive days to help me finish a rush project. The staff at CME are friendly and helpful with wealth of information to solve most lighting projects. read more

Great products, great service, very fair pricing, ..all that anyone could ask for! And the people working there are all terrific! Carlos & Stephanie in particular have been helping me for years with my varied lighting needs, and eased me into much appreciated understandings for the ever changing science behind modern lighting (LED and energy efficiency, as examples). Truly a gem of a business, ... can't say enough good things about CME Lighting, and the great people working there! read more

I was wanting pricing on 200 outdoor lights. I visited the office and called three times over a period of 2 months. Each time I was told that I would be emailed the information the next day. I never got anything. In all my 73 years this was the worst service I ever experienced. read more

In all the years I've been on Yelp, I've never had the occasion to write such a negative review. But the folks at CME Lighting subjected me to such a stunning display of rudeness and incompetence that they forced my hand. I went in to buy 2 track lighting fixtures to match the broken one I brought in as a sample. No problem, says Tommy. Not in stock, but we'll have them for you in 2 days, and we'll call you. After 3 days I call them. Sorry there's been a delay. We'll have them for you in another 2 days and we'll call you. Again no call. Again I'm told it'll be 2 days. Rinse and repeat 7!!! times. No exaggeration. Finally they're in. I go to pick them up, and they got the order wrong. The fixtures are the wrong kind for my track. Not one word of apology, just excuses. Avoid these jokers at all costs. read more

These guys rock! If you are looking for any lighting needs, whether it's your standard bulbs or some kind of weird hard to find special light, this is the place. They handle it all and if they don't happen to have it they will know where to get it and order it for you. I have mostly dealt with tommy and carlos and can say they are true lighting pros and would trust everyone here knows their stuff. They are also fairly priced. Less than home depot for sure. They sale everything from residential to commercial. read more

Steve and his team at CME lighting have been servicing all my lighting needs for the past 15 years. I'm always involved with one project or another and Steve always has great solutions for me. He goes the extra mile, he even went to his distributor that was out of town and brought me lights I that I needed that day since my contractor had a deadline to finish the project. I recommend CME Lighting to all my friends. read more

Great place to get your lighting need. They have really friendly staff that works here and really good prices!

Excellent customer service experience this week. I need to replace bulbs in my lighted makeup mirror. They do not carry the bulbs needed,but the service tech researched & provided a printout of where I could get them. I really appreciated the helpful attitude I experienced. read more

Our kitchen contractor recommended CME when we were looking for under counter lighting and didn't find enough choices at Home Depot. Tommy explained the options available, answered all my questions, and had good pricing. We will skip other big shops in the future and go straight here for other jobs. Near Concord Costco, easy parking, no lines! read more

Nice place to do business. We needed 96 flouresent tubes. They actuallydelivered right to our business the day that we ordered them.The prices were right and the serivce outstanding! Have since been back for some hard to get LED lights that I use on our boat. read more

If you need an unusual replacement bulb, don't spin you wheels at your local hardware store or some designer lamp store. Instead, head straight to CME Lighting's parts counter behind Door #6 and prepare to be amazed at their vast inventory and deep knowledge of all things light. read more

Recently I went there to buy $760 worth of equipment for recess lighting but had to return 4 LED pot lights and instead get 9 more trims. A guy named Carlos who works there agreed to exchange the items and refund me the difference which was $280 after 6% restocking fee. He was not happy to do this but did it anyways. He told me that he had spend more than an hour (which he didn't) to explain things about recess lighting, and now it was not cool to return the items, I told him that I am not just returning but also replacing, and the items are not used or even opened from there original boxes. I didn't had my credit card with me to get the refund so we agreed that I will come tomorrow. The next day when I went there he increased restocking fee from 6% to 25% and his reason for doing so was that he and his manager believed that I will not be shopping from their store anymore and they should milk the cow as much as they can when it is still available. I asked him that if the refund amount is the same as we agreed on yesterday first he said yes thinking that I have forgotten but when I reminded him that it was 6% not 25% he started telling me his reasons. He also said that he had to send back the 4 LED pot lights back and pay for the UPS, but those were not special orders and when I bought them they were all in stock. At that moment I was felling disgusted by all his lies and the reason to charge me $80 more for the refund. (I still have the same feeling of disgust whenever I remember that). No person with even a little bet of self respect would not tell tons of lies for $80, and just because you think a customer will shop anymore from your store anymore because he has all the supplies that he needs, that does not mean you can steal from him as much as you can. This is his exact words "my manager told me he would never come back again why you did not charge him more" Disgusting is the only word when I remember those words. read more

First let me start by saying this is the 3rd business I went to, after hours of on-line research. The first was staffed by teens or barely post-teens that I'm pretty sure just decided there wasn't enough profit involved to help me out. The 2nd couldn't help, but thanks to them (Batteries Plus Bulbs in Concord) I was referred to CME. Carlos at CME went out of his way to understand my problem which involved fixing a stove hood light manufactured by a now defunct company. He suggested a solution and ordered a part in, then also suggested I bring the old part back in so we could look at it together. Long story short, thanks to Carlos and CME, the light is fixed! I highly recommend CME for any lighting supply need. read more

As a residential customer whose purchases can't begin to match those of the commercial guys, I have been treated with the utmost care and kindness. East time I have patronized this shop, the customer service and desire to please have been wonderful. They have an amazing inventory, great prices, incredible patience, and are so knowledgeable about their products. Carlos and Tommy are terrific to deal with! read more

I bought from Steve and Trish at CME Lighting for the past 15 years. For my businesses I've bought bulbs, transformers, over 50 led indoor fixtures, many outdoor fixtures and recessed lighting for rental units, I've always received good service and pricing but most of all Steve, Trish and Carlos are really no nonsense down to earth straight forward people that are a pleasure to deal with. read more

So I was on the hunt for 16 HUGE florescent light bulbs for our company sign. No idea where even to start I rummaged the Internet and after several calls and a few unique keyword searches I found CME. Not only where they pleasant, reasonable with a quick turnaround they were local and could deliver. That meant no crazy shipping costs from an online company. My bulbs were ordered and delivered within days. Even when I learned that I had ordered the wrong bulb size they were incredibly understanding about exchanging for the correct bulbs. I absolutely recommend them for all of your lighting needs. read more

I had the absolute best experience here! I had called before and asked for a specific type of fluorescent bulb, they knew exactly what I was talking about and had it ready for me to pick up. The person was so helpful and even carried my bulky bulbs to my car. Amazing service, I recommend to everyone that I know! read more
