Lights Out - Amazing chandelier installed with new electrical - Lighting Fixtures & Equipment Near Me - San Francisco, California

Amazing service. Had a problem that Brett could fix on the phone. No charge so I am very happy.

Brett has been fixing up all my electrical needs both in my home and office. Very professional and honest. Always gave me good and honest advices. His works are always meticulous and the fee he charges is very reasonable. Highly recommended. read more

These guys are doing so well since they're so excellent, they hardly need my review, but here it is: The process of getting Brett here to look our situation over was easy.. he's responsive, and he actually shows up on time. The guys came over, and had the track lights installed on time, and with so little fuss and troubles, that I felt they were working too hard .. silly me. They did it all for a great price, very very fair, and we're very happy with the work... which we've been using for two months now. I called them again for another smaller job, and it was the same delightful and easy proposition as before. Thanks guys! read more

I really appreciated having Brett handle my electrical needs. He was on time, courteous, and super helpful. If I ever need an electrician again, I would certainly call him. Thanks again Brett! read more

Thanks to Brett Bryant, our home is not only consistently illuminated, we are also saving money. We have quite a few lights that are placed well out of range of most ladders, and I was calling Brett on a fairly regular basis to change two or three recessed bulbs at a time. At his instigation, we are now using more environmentally correct LED lights, which basically obviate the need to call him as frequently. Brett has stocked my cabinet with back-up bulbs for every type of fixture in the house, a daunting task. And he's a whiz at hanging artwork. Added bonus: Brett is funny, responsive, and easy to work with. (A few of the one-star reviewers may not be able to discern dry humor from rudeness, but while Brett has never been rude he can be very amusing.) read more

Brett came by this morning and installed a chandelier He put in two dimmers and fixed a closet light. He was smart, efficient, friendly, and super helpful. I wish this wasn't a rental and it was my own home to design some amazing lighting with him. He was great!! Very pleased!!! I only wished I owned the house to have him do more!! read more

I have hired Brett twice, and am a bit bewildered by how he ever managed to get a few negative reviews here. Perhaps he has a mysterious "Mr. Hyde" alter ego evident only on other service calls, in which he snarls, berates customers, tears up property and so forth. I don't want to make light of the bad experiences of others, but my own experiences with Lights Out have been first rate. Brett worked in advertising before starting Lights Out, and there is about him the air of a former white collar professional who simply prefers to be out and about in the city helping customers instead of chained to a desk. On the first call, he did more than I expected him to. On the second, he did what was asked, and charged me less. He is exceptionally friendly, and happy to provide one-homeowner-to-another advice to fellow San Franciscans. Lights Out seems to specialize in ... well ... lighting, just as the web site says. I don't know what range of electric service his company provides, and wouldn't count on being able to use Lights Out until he says a job is within his purview. But if Brett says he can do the work, I'd certainly turn to him without reservation. read more

Brett is as good as they come! He's extremely professional, prompt, and knows his stuff. We set up an appt. for 2pm on Friday. He calls 15 mins before to say he's on his way. He shows up on time, and quickly dives into my 2 way switch problem. After some search and seek, he informs me that my problem is a detached/worn out wire (the second he's seen in 7 yrs). He gives me 2 options to consider, all with total candor and honesty. I choose the less expensive option, and Brett even helps me navigate to a website to purchase the fixtures that I need. He's coming back when the materials arrive and installing them for me. Believe it or not, I'm looking forward to the return visit. 5 stars in my book!! (And I'm a tough customer to please!!) read more

Brett and his crew were great to work with. Efficient, communicative - I emailed him a photo of my fixture with a question and he was able to answer it within minutes. The only (minor) issue was that the supplier (City Lights) took weeks to get the fixtures we ordered, so I suggest you plan ahead. read more

Brett's nice, reliable, and a good communicator. His price was considerably less than an estimate I got from a competitor who also had a really good Yelp review. Brett did all the work without any interruptions, which I really care about when paying by the hour. And although he was late, he did call to tell me that and gave me a pretty good estimate of when he'd arrive (about 60-90 minutes later). He also had a colleague drop something off to him at my house to save time. I had a good experience, and plan to set up future work with Lights Out. read more

Brett sent two of his guys to replace a bedroom light fixture and to add an outlet in an awkward location behind a washer/drawer unit. Both jobs were done in under an hour and with top notch quality. The guys were professional, considerate and did not leave a mess. I can't imagine finding better quality for your money...and it was really reasonably priced on top of it all! You can't go wrong with Lights Out for your home electrical needs! read more

My girlfriend and I engaged Brett to install some outlets in a wall without electrical, run some extra cables and hang a chandelier. We'd looked at several other electricians and couldn't quite make any others work, most probably because our job was too small. Brett was able to make an appointment to come by, assess what needed to be done, purchase all of the materials for a reasonable price and do the work all within a week. Impressive on all counts: great positive attitude, compulsive conversationalist (in a good way!), completely competent technically and completed the work in half a day instead of the day we thought it might take. He didn't underspec or overcommit and most importantly our dog liked him :) I would absolutely recommend him to anyone, especially for people like us with not much direction being recent first-time home owners in the city. Couldn't be more pleased! read more

Brett and his team are great. They know what they're doing, they do it fast and professionally, offer terrific advice, e.g., on maintaining florescent fixtures, and can refer you to Victor's Lighting for repair of old wall sconces, chandeliers, etc. I would use them again in a moment. read more

Great experience. He advised us on a couple of things to look for, and we were able to solve the issue without a service call. Thanks a ton! read more

Brett is a super friendly guy with a ton of patience. He took the time to fully investigate my issue and threw in the cost of parts for free! Highly Highly Highly recommended! read more

I needed the lighting mechanism repaired in my dining room. I called Brett and he was at the house within 25 minutes. That's service! Sure enough, he had all the necessary parts on hand and made the repair in short time. He's extremely responsive (obviously), professional, friendly, and a really cool guy. I'll definitely be calling Brett for future work. A+ read more

An update! one of the switches Brett installed for me seemed to be having a problem( had nothing to do with the installation, was a manufacturer's defect) Brett was nice enough to come back and replace it at no additional cost! Now, that's standing behind your work! He was also extremely nice about it. I wouldn't hesitate at all recommending him for your electrical problems/projects. read more

I had a laundry list of projects that needed to be completed. Including installation of exterior light fixtures, GFCI, Timers and a ceiling fan. I scheduled an appt with Bradd and he called to confirm and showed up right on time. He did the work quickly and cleanly. I would definately recommend Lights Out and will use them again for future projects. read more

Great over the phone, Brett provided a estimate for work that others over the phone stated would be very difficult to do, turned out to be pretty straight forward. Work done promptly and very satisfied with the results! read more

One of our wall sconce lights went out and it looked like it just needed a new halogen bulb. After only two tries, I got the right length and we put it in. But it still didn't work. We shook it a little but nothing happened. My partner didn't want to get electrocuted and said we needed to find an electrician. Now in the past, we've been lazy and left such issue unresolved for months at a time. I didn't want half a light in that room so I looked up electricians in San Francisco and found Brett's yelp listing. Looked good, called him, and he came by that same afternoon. Very easy going guy and he was also helpful in identifying other potential electrical-improvements in our house. We've been trying to find an electrician that we could trust for awhile for such smallish projects, and Brett seems to be a match. (And the issue with our wall sconce light was just that the "new" bulb was bad. It won't work when the little metal thingy wiggles when you shake it. Had we tried inserting the 2nd new bulb that I thoughtfully purchased at the same time, we would've saved a visit from Brett. But then I wouldn't know what to get to replace our kitchen under-counter lights and justify another future visit from Brett.) read more

I give Brett 5 stars. No need to go into a long story but what really pleased me was Brett's attention to detail, he did everything in a careful and precise manner, and cleaned up after the job. His professional but easygoing manner was much appreciated. We also did not have to wait more than a few days for an appointment. Highly recommended. read more

Brett is fantastic! He returns calls promptly, arrives on time for appointments, and completes projects quickly. He has installed indoor and outdoor fixtures at my house on several occasions. I have always been very pleased with the results. I plan to have him install a chandelier in the dining room, once I find a good match from the manufacturers he has suggested. Thanks, Brett! read more

Wow! This guy is good. I needed some track lighting put up and he was able to give me a estimate over the phone and figure out what it was I was looking for in our first conversation. When he did the work for me, he had everything I needed (without ever seeing the space) and it took him just about an hour. He clearly knows what he's doing. He's friendly, easy going, and professional. read more

HI folks I contracted Lights Out to install two new light fixtures and switches, and to replace one older fixture. We had a number of unusual issues, such as old live gas lines that were once used for gas lamps, and a medallion we wanted to keep intact throughout the installation, etc. Once Brett had a look he determined the major features and issues we had pretty quickly. Once we scheduled the job, his crew (Shad and Felix) were incredibly professional, respectful, and knowledgeable. Their expertise in mounting fixtures in older buildings really came in handy and resulted in first rate work. I would also recommend Santi for the follow-on patch up work if needed, after he was done you couldn't tell any work on the walls or ceilings had occurred. Like new! If you live in an old Victorian/Edwardian, I would highly recommend these guys, read more

Called Brett based on all the positive yelp reviews when I had a breaker out of place and an issue with my bathroom light fixture. He was responsive, showed up on time for our appointment (and called ahead to let me know he was on his way) and fixed the problem quickly. He was also friendly and professional and educated me on some basic useful principles. Great reliable service at a reasonable price. Would not hesitate to contact Lights Out again. read more

Brett knows a lot. He relays a lot of information, which I don't always follow or really need. Typical of someone passionate on a subject. He redid the lights in our whole house. Brett leaned toward a lot of light, which we agreed upon, but turned out to be overboard for us. Nevertheless, we're very happy the overall results. It made a world of difference. I cannot comment on price because we didn't shop around. I found him through Yelp and liked him enough in our preliminary meetings and consultations. He's friendly and pleasant. Minus one star because there was a little lack of communication between him and his staff, e.g. scheduling, what needed to be done, and type of bulbs. The follow-up is excellent. They had to come back like 3 times and wanted to make sure we were satisfied with the end product. This is not Brett's concern, but I did have a problem with the painter he recommended. We have a white ceiling and over the years, the actual color faded with natural light coming in. We added recessed lighting and needed painters for the patch work. They only painted around the recessed lighting, which was like more than half the ceiling. But, the colors were totally off between the faded paint and new paint. I don't know why the painters didn't just paint over the whole ceiling, they had painted most of it anyway. I guess they thought we wouldn't notice or care. In any case, they did come back with no complaints to finish the job at no extra charge. It was just a hassle coordinating another painting session. read more

This was a TERRIBLE experience, and surprisingly so. One of the two hanging lights in our kitchen blew out and needed to be fixed. In short: 1. After they figured out the problem, the first time they came back to fix it THEY CAME WITH THE WRONG PARTS. So, I took off work for no reason and wasted my time. All I got for this was an "apology" but no offer to reduce my bill based on their mistake. 2. The next time they came back, they told me they would be there at 9:30. Instead, they came at 10. Again, wasting my time when I could be making a living. Apparently, none of Light's Out's customers have jobs or their time is unimportant. 3. When they did come, they did not buy the parts we requested so they could not drop the lights lower. This was something that Brett originally suggested we do and we agreed. He then said that we never ordered those parts. Of course, he never drafted an invoice from the beginning so there would be no confusion. That left us with a he said-she said and with Light's Out, THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS WRONG. And, again, the outfit who originally brought the wrong parts and could not show up on time was right and my wife and I were both mistaken as to what we ordered. Yeah right. 4. When all of this happened, Brett couldn't even be bothered to discuss it with me personally. Instead, he had his employee report his position to me. When I told the employee how disappointed I was in how this was all turning out, guess what Brett said to me in response. NOTHING. Yep, radio silence. He couldn't be bothered to talk to me personally. Frankly, there are a lot of electricians out there and this behavior was egregiously unprofessional. Please do not waste your time and money, like I did, when there are so many other choices out there. And as I'm the most recent comment, I hope you take it seriously if you are choosing an electrician now. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Brett and his team as far back as I want to say February 2013 and it's now November... Long story short lights out managed to install motorization to shades I was having installed. A task i couldn't find anyone to do. They really know their stuff. I had them install an electrical outlet on my patio so this holiday season i can string lights. Then i wanted to install a ceiling fan in my bedroom, Brett sent me a couple of links to some awesome sites. I went with Minka Aire and it's one of my favorites things in my home! I had an outlet go out one morning and they were coming to do something else and replaced it lickety-split. His team came and hung pictures due to the tall ceilings I have and so on... I cannot brag about Lights Out enough, I will use them when needed forever! Oh, and something you don't find these days is customer service, well Brett calls 1/2 hour prior to arriving:) how's that for customer service! read more

Brett Bryan was incredible!! If you need electrical and lighting service--he's the guy!! His company is called Lights Out ! I've used him for several jobs over the years and he always takes that extra step to make things right! You won't be disappointed!! He was at my home doing electrical work when without hesitation he helped correct a lighting situation on my hood over the stove. Brett stepped in correcting the problem and did an amazing job repairing the lights! I highly recommend him! read more

Brett came into my business and quickly assessed what was wrong with my lighting. I had recently bought a 15 yrs old business and the previous owner had rigged the fluorescent light s in a way that I had never seen before. Brett had the ballast replaced and the new lights in ASAP. I have a small printing business and viewing printed material under the correct light is essential. Brett recommended a solution that fit my budget and solved my problems. I wouldn't say Brett is the cheapest electrician in town, but if you explain your dilemma up front you get more than your money's worth. read more

Brett is simply one great electrician, reliable, competent, capable, thoughtful and intelligent. You'll have to get used to the idea that your electrician has the build of a linebacker and a degree from Columbia. But once past that hurdle, you'll use him every time! read more

After reading the Yelp reviews, we called Brett to help us fix our doorbells, both of which had smoked like mad during a party when the doorbell button had gotten stuck. Although he typically works primarily on lighting, he squeezed us in within two days, showed up on time, and had it all fixed in about half an hour -- including his trip to the local hardware store to replace one of the doorbells. He even helped us fix our 1930s-era mechanism -- not really in his job description but he was able to troubleshoot it and fix it with some well-placed WD40. For the first time since we bought the house, the doorbell sounds loud and beautiful. I'd recommend him to anyone! read more

A few days ago I used Brett for the second time in eighteen months. I recommend him highly without any reservations. Scheduling an appointment with Brett is easy and best accomplished by phone. Brett arrives on time with all of the tools and supplies needed for the work that was discussed. Brett is personable, professional and efficient. When planning the work, he will suggest solutions that are the best fit and cost-effective for your situation. Brett will perform both large AND small jobs with equal diligence and attentiveness - a service rarely found in the bay area. He is flexible and will work closely with you to ensure complete satisfaction. I believe Brett's fees are fair and reasonable for the work he does. Repeat customers are the core of a professional's business, and I am happy to count myself among that group for Brett. I am confident that I will be calling Brett again in the future as I have been very pleased with his services.. and I expect that you will be too! read more

After asking for recommendations from friends and calling a few other electricians in the city that would either not call back or had really high quotes, I finally called LIghts Out after seeing their high rating on yelp. We needed some more outlets installed. Here's what I liked about them: 1. Responsive and gave an estimate over the phone that was spot on. 2. They were able to schedule us quickly! 3. Work went smoothly! 4. Easy to work with. They definitely guarantee their work. When a wire went loose that caused some of the new outlets to work, Brett came back personally ASAP to fix it and they made sure all was good. Brett also noticed we had no light in our living room and he suggested they add one and talked through the options with me. He thought there was wiring for one but it had just been patched over. He was right! We ended up adding it and it was so easy. Overall, I thought everything went as easily as you could have hoped. I would highly recommend them and would definitely use them again if I ever need more work done. read more

I'm. So. Happy. We finally found an electrician who (a) showed up on time, (b) didn't charge an arm and a leg, and (c) was able to fix our very finicky kitchen lights. Brett is a very professional electrician who has fixed all of our electrical issues so far, and he's nice to boot. Give him a whirl, you won't be disappointed. read more

Brett is simply the best. He's the most competent electrician I've ever worked with, and also the nicest. It's so clear that he's uniquely intelligent, plus the guy really loves lighting! He's got great ideas to make your space look better at any price point and then he just makes it happen. Use him, use him. read more

It is hard to find an electrician that will do the small stuff and do it well. Brett was a pleasure to work and took care of both of my small jobs quickly and cost effectively. He replaced our broken doorbells in the building, switched out a light and then I had him come back to install a new outlet in the garage. He called both times in advance to confirm our appointment and then showed up on time in both instances! He's definitely one of the good guys out there. read more

Brett is terrific. We've used him for years, and he is always prompt, courteous, and most important, extremely good at what he does. Most recently, we had what we thought was a dead electrical line in the house. Brett was scheduled to come by but gave us some suggestions in the interim on how we might be able to fix it ourselves. Sure enough, his advice was pure gold, and we ended up fixing the line and not needing Brett to come by at all. Houses age, along with all the components inside them. Just be glad that when they do, you have someone as gifted and pleasant as Brett to repair or replace them. read more

These guys are great. I had three electrical issues to be resolved. Brett fixed one of them gratis over the phone (without even making me feel dumb for not figuring it out myself, heh), and when Shad and Felix arrived they tag-teamed the other two which turned out to be more complicated. In about an hour and a half they diagnosed and fixed a poorly-wired three-way switch, and also repurposed a ground wire to replace a bad neutral that had a problem somewhere in a long conduit between my garage and back stairs. They also took the time to answer my questions so I could see what they fixed, which I always appreciate. I was having another contractor over on the same day, and Brett even moved my appt to accommodate that. I was a bit confused about what the rates would be (may have been Brett's explanation, or maybe I was distracted) but what I paid in the end seemed very reasonable for the work performed. And the lights on the back stairs work now so my wife thinks I'm a hero. Win win. read more
