    Eichen was one of our first stops in our quest for a mid century modern exterior light for our Eichler Home (more on that below) . Its a mid sized store and its stuffed with lights of all descriptions including many that fit our desire for that mid century modern look. Its been a while since we went light shopping and the change to LED's has allowed the designers to be increasingly creative with their designs. We found a few that held promise. The sales lady was personable and unobtrusive allowing to wander in peace and the prices were in line with everywhere else. Not much more you could ask for. Sometimes having a distinctive home is both a blessing and a curse. In our case we are lucky enough to own an Eichler. For those unfamiliar, Joseph Eichler was a developer (primarily in the SF Bay Area and LA) who between 1949 and 1966 built what is now termed Mid Century Modern or if you will "California Modern" tract homes. Taking cues from not only Frank Lloyd Wright, The Eames, et al, and the famous Case Study Homes they bought affordable high end architecture to the masses. All told over 11,000 of these homes were built. Given the distinct, love it or hate it style, changing stuff is difficult if you want it to look right. In this case with our recent (yes I did it all myself) exterior refresh we decided to correct a wrong with our exterior lighting and find something in character with the home. If you are interested in Eichler the "People in Glass Houses: The Legacy of Joseph Eichler" is a fantastic documentary

    Limited hours due to COVID-19. Was able to order address numbers over the phone. Will post update after installation of address numbers. Modernlights.com Website is not too good for ordering numbers. Doesn't allow selection of less expensive plastic numbers.

    I had visited several light stores before I remembered this place in my own backyard. Our contractor had sent us to his favorite spot which was in San Carlos. But add a snotty salesperson and the drive to San Carlos no longer seemed attractive. They carry: Hinkley, Kichler, Hubberton Forge, Minka Lavery, Baldwin and many more. Many of these light stores do about 80% of their business by special order; once you place your order, you'll need to go back to pick up your order. To return a special order is a 25% restocking fee. other places don't take returns which makes ordering out of a catalog verrrrry unatractive indeed. Home Depot, OSH and the like have similar options though probably without the range of higher end special orders and certainly without the staff there to help out. Eichen's is a long time El Camino Real establishment. They have a pretty extensive selection. Best feature: Owner Susan's personal attention to your lighting needs as well as her expertise in the vast array of lighting inventory. There are literally thousands of options, it really does help to have someone who knows the inventory willingly spend a bit of time with you. Our home is very special because of her personal attention to our lighting needs.

    We first had the absolute pleasure of meeting Christy three years ago, and she remains one of the…read morebest sales specialists we've ever known. Back then, Christy guided us through purchasing our favorite Louis Poulsen pendant light. Right from the start, her patient and kind guidance made it clear just how deeply she cares about her clients. Beyond her wonderful personality, she is an incredible professional who truly understands both the aesthetics and practicality of lighting design. We knew immediately that we had come to the right place and met the right person! Christy is so genuine and caring. Buying from her never feels like just a business transaction--it's a wonderful experience that naturally leads to beautiful, warm conversations. She has truly set our bar sky-high when it comes to customer service. We also want to give a special shoutout to Ricky, who was immensely helpful when we needed an evaluation for a light we had accidentally damaged. He addressed all of our concerns with great care, making the entire resolution process completely seamless. Thank you so much to Christy, Ricky, and the whole team for being such a joy to work with over the years. We can't recommend them highly enough!
