Love the fixture in our new kitchen. Was shopping for one at many places over the a few months and…read moreit was a fair price. Confirmed with Steve that it was LED & dimmable...perfect. But what wasn't told to us is that it only works with a few dimmers. And when I asked why it was flickering, I was told that the commercial grade, quality dimmer my electrican used was not compatible. But they have one for $39 plus. Yeah not happening. Should have been advised up front of its special requirements. So it cost me more.

It's not like we know how long it's been out collecting dust and using up bulb/LED life. Of the 9 ceiling lights we picked , three were in boxes, three were from display, and three were special ordered. Yes, the wait time for special orders is like two to three weeks. Just waiting to get their electrician to come install all the lights (for the additional cost).

From the first call to the final inspection, everything was smooth and professional. The technician Doru was knowledgeable, punctual, and clearly experienced with EV charger installations. He helped us determine the best placement, made sure everything was up to code, and left the work area clean and organized. The installation looks great and works perfectly. They also made sure the installation met all ComEd EV Charger and Installation Rebate Program requirements and provided all the proper documentation we needed so we were able to successfully receive our ComEd rebate without any issues. If you're considering a Tesla charger installation, I highly recommend CM Electric. Reliable, efficient, and great to work with.

I would especially like to compliment Ms. Thelma Adams, Lighting Specialist, for the excellent customer service she provided. In today's market, customer service is everything.

I was so happy once my lighting was installed, I returned to Northwest for additional lighting for my bedroom and hallway. I especially love the pendant over my kitchen sink and the gorgeous chandelier in my bedroom. I'm always getting compliments. I will continue to do business with Ms. Adams and Northwest Lighting. Thanks again for everything.

As a part of our home improvement journey this year, we finally got around to installing a new…read moredining area light, sconces and a new fan. The Doctor has a history with this business and did all of the initial legwork of going to the store several times to take photos of different fixtures for me to review as I do not like spending a lot of time in stores wandering around. I want what I want and need to move on. Once I narrowed down what I was looking for, it was time for me to visit the store. Cindy Goldstein was the person working with The Doctor and I met her. She was very nice and again, a sales person who was not pushing me on a purchase. Again in my mind's eye, I had an idea of what I wanted on the wall and ceiling and was looking around until I saw that items that caught my eye. Cindy was very helpful and even suggested that for the ceiling fixture, we could purchase the floor display at a considerably lower price, but we got the sconces new. I figured since the ceiling fixture was only hanging, there was no risk in purchasing it as there was minimum handling/touching the fixture. In addition to the light fixtures, The Doctor found the fan of his dreams and we purchased that as well. I gotta say I love the fan as much as the light fixtures as it really cools off the room and the breeze is nice. Cindy was cool and gave The Doctor a discount on the price of the fan as well. Delivery of the items was painless and we were also able to purchase additional globes to have on hand in case one broke (not that I hope we have to use them). What I didn't realize until after we had left was that this particular business was all women owned. I love supporting women and minority owned businesses, especially when they have great products and customer service. I will be back here to look for new fixtures for the kitchen in the near future.
