Great selection though more expensive than I wanted to spend at the time. Quality was good

This light store has a lot of lights to choose from and the owner is very knowledgeable about lighting. The store has an all sales are final motto so that means if you buy the light and it doesn't match your decor or isn't the right color that you thought you needed for your space, tough it is your light. I found a light I loved but found out after purchasing that light not only could I have bought the same light for more than half of what I paid. You will find unique lights here and the owner is knowledgeable but you will pay more for the lighting here than elsewhere. You also need know that even if you are told your light fixture will include bulbs from the store thrown in as goodwill for doing business with them, please know you will not get the bulbs for your fixture as they want you to pay for those on top of the fixture itself. That was disappointing for me as other lighting stores also promise that if you purchase a light from them that you will get the bulbs for free. This is what I was promised here but it wasn't the truth as I had to pay for the bulbs when it came time to get the fixture. Keep this in mind if this is something important to you. 3 stars as I did find a light I loved but paying more than double for the same light that I found online and not getting the bulbs that were to be included with my light is why I rated this place 3 stars. Value could improve here where you actually get what you are promised as in the lightbulbs with the fixture, read more

My sister needed a specific lightbulb for her boat which was nearly impossible to find. Luckily, she met the owner, Sel, who was incredibly helpful. He immediately understood that this was an unusual bulb and did extensive research to find it -- and truly went over and above what is usually experienced in other stores. Without Sel's help my sister would still be in the dark. read more

The service here was immaculate! I really enjoyed that Gio took the time to explain everything I needed to know to find the perfect chandelier. He went above and beyond, to reassure that I was happy with my purchase. The chandelier was of good quality, and easy to install. I would recommend anyone who's looking for lighting fixtures or accessories to come here. read more

There are several light fixture stores on Fondren. We decided to stop here before we were went to our destination. Let me just say this, don't let the outside of the location fool you! There was a variety of different chandeliers to choose from. Sel wasn't pushy at all, and he was very helpful and had great customer service. We decided to continue on to our original destination to make sure we were going to purchase what we really liked. When we got to our other location The store had way too many items and it was cluttered. We looked around, got back in our car, and went back to Houston Light Bulb and Lightning... and made our purchase! They have great prices and sales. They are a hidden gem. Customer service is great and genuine. read more

This was a first experience with Houston Lightbulb & Lighting and got a definite five-star plus for their help in getting my pink neon cat (which lives in a window in our home and is used as sort of a beacon for neighbors getting home). I called the company with a question about whether or not they could see if my no longer lighting cat could be saved and they volunteered to check it out and, lo and behold, the cat lite up at the hands of Sal Cohen. I can assure you that this is service that we all wish that we could have everywhere and, if the pink neon cat ever goes to cat heaven, I will be back at their door for a new cat. Trust these folks for honesty and integrity. read more

Houston Lightbulb & Lighting is a top-notch company. I discovered them after I had gone to two other places looking for some special bulbs, and they both recommended HL&L. They had one of the bulbs and ordered the other one that got here in a few days. They called me every other day to let me know the status of the order and on the day it came in. Sel Cohen and Gio Herrera are consummate professionals and always greet me with a smile. They ask about me and my work and are interested in how my life is going. That personal touch means a lot to me. They provide me with quality service at a reasonable price. You can't beat that. read more

We decided to do a much overdue update to our kitchen lighting. We found the new light that matched our kitchen perfectly. Sel, the owner was extremely helpful and had great suggestions. We bought the light but could not get it installed for a few months. When we finally went to install the light, it only had long extensions which would not work. We called the owner and he said to come down he had some extras. He handed me a stack of various sizes to try. We had a great experience at Houston Lightbulb and Lighting and will return any time we're looking for a light. read more

Sel was so welcoming as soon as we walked into the store. They greeted us and helped us through the entire purchasing process. They even helped switch out lightbulb colors so that we could see what they would like. All of the lights have switches so you can turn them on and off to test. Prices are soooooooo good and there is no plastic. It's all crystal in the store. read more

I was in need of a dining room light fixture that would bring my modern industrial farmhouse look to life. The problem was, I needed the light fixture the very next day for the electrician to hang, and I had not found anything that worked. In comes the hero Houston Lightbulb and Lighting. I arrived around 5:40 PM, just 20 minutes before closing time. Gio showed me several options and even offered to take down a light fixture that was on display so I could meet my project timeline. It's perfect! I can't wait to see it hung and entertain guests. Don't take chances by ordering light fixtures online. Go to Houston Lightbulb and Lighting and save yourself time, trouble and money. read more

After numerous online searches, I finally realized I would need to go to a brick and mortar lighting store to get what I need. I had been in several other lighting stores in the past with not great experiences. Houston lightbulb & lighting was the opposite! Juan was very knowledgeable and helpful! Not only about the fixtures, but the light bulbs inside to make sure I was getting what I really wanted. He asked the right questions and made me feel comfortable. Great customer service. My light came in within 2 days. You have converted this online shopper to a brick and mortar girl when it comes to lighting! I'll be back. Thank you. read more

Since I had such a great experience in the past, I thought I'd return when I was shopping for lighting fixtures. Again, this place did not disappoint. Not only did I find very unique pieces at very reasonable prices, but Sel, the owner, couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful. Don't want to sound like a broken record but I highly recommend you check this place out if you're in the market for lighting - or bulbs - of any kind. read more

I looked at lighting stores all over Houston and Austin and this store was my favorite. They have the best prices and a huge variety. Beautiful pieces and high quality. Gio helped me out and was able to answer all my questions and was very informative with everything. We originally were planning on ordering lights for my salon plenty ahead of time but the hurricane that came through Houston got us way behind schedule. Luckily this place had everything we needed already in stock so we were able to pick it up right away. I will definitely be coming back to get some custom neon lights made for my salon as well. read more

Sel sold me a lot of light fixtures and bulbs today because he gave me time to explain my needs and showed me some good options.

Very helpful. if you cant find in stock he has catalogs that you can order sone nice pieces. We will be back

Just wanted to say what great customer service I received from Gio at Houston Lightbulb & Lighting. I had purchased a European-made wall sconce light online from some other business and it didn't come with a bulb. I tried installing a standard candelabra bulb I had on-hand but its base was too small. By searching online, I figured out that my foreign light fixture took an European E14 halogen bulb which has a slightly larger diameter base. I called other bulb specialty stores in town trying to find such an E14 bulb but no one had one in stock. When I called Houston Lightbulb & Lighting, I ended up talking to Gio. After explaining my predicament, he took literally about 10 minutes on the phone covering different options that might work for my wall sconce, went and found an E14-to-E12 adapter in his store along with a standard E12 halogen bulb, screwed them together, grabbed a ruler and then gave me the measurements over the phone so I could verify at home that the adapter-plus-bulb together would fit within my light fixture before driving across town to his store. He also happily gave me the total price over the phone so that there would be no last-minute "Gotcha!" exorbitant price once I got there. Talk about customer service!! Gio was the greatest! (His boss is also pretty funny with his deadpan deprecating sense of humor delivered in his distinctive South African accent.) So, if you need an exotic or unusual bulb or have some other lighting problem, give Gio at Houston Lightbulb & Lighting a call FIRST. You don't find this sort of patient, problem-solving customer service too much these days - people are more interested in just selling something they have on hand instead of really helping you solve your problem. One last tip - there are other lighting stores on Fondren and in the general area so make sure you go to the right store, this one, and see Gio! read more
