I highly recommend that you visit the North Coast Lighting store in Valpo when looking for light…read morefixtures of all kinds. I had a preconception of what I thought I wanted for a bathroom fixture. They have very nice displays. What was most helpful is their 20x40 inch monitor to show you thousands of fixtures. This large presentation is much better than seeing it on your personal devices or seeing fixtures one at a time. You can see at least nine on each page displayed. Scroll through the pages. You can filter on your criteria for any type of fixture. You can compare all the features and see the specs for each one. I was able to narrow my choice to a few, then noticed a feature that I really liked. This display station saved me time from further searching for a fixture, and narrowed down what I really wanted. I made a choice that I was likely to be very happy with. A great store to shop! PS. I also liked the display area for outdoor fixtures that were on walls made of outdoor siding. You can see how it would really look outdoors. A clever display.

I have brought in old fixtures over the past few years and they clean, rewire, and have made each one spectacular. The other thing is good communication. They always let me know exactly what's involved after they examine the fixture and what it will take to fix or restore it. No matter where you are in Michiana, this is totally worth the drive. They are a gem!

At no point did they proactively communicate any delays. I drove in from Valparaiso and wasted over six hours of my day because of completely unreliable scheduling and poor communication. If this is the level of service Mr. Electric considers acceptable, that speaks for itself. If you value your time, you may want to look elsewhere.

Further, both when I dropped off the lamp and when I picked it up, the lady who worked with me was very kind, personable, prompt and professional.

Great service is so rare these days, but these folks knock it out of the park with an excellent and consistent customer experience. I left their store wanting to do business with them again and again. Thank you for the great experience!

The sales clerk appeared reluctant to look up the piece in a catalog and was unwilling to look in more than one reference. Her complete disinterest in pursuing a sale seems to be a company policy; other store employees who were not helping customers were well within hearing did nothing to encourage customer satisfaction. I would discourage anyone from patronizing Hodgson Light, Log and Patio.

All we wanted was for it to be fixed. This guy said he didn't know what was wrong with the lamp, so he was going to convert the whole lamp and convert it to a halogen lamp, saying it would be brighter. (Okay, but that's not what I asked for!) He charged $50 for that work which is ridiculous, I could've bought two lamps for that price. NOT TO MENTION THAT IT TOOK MORE THAN 3 MONTHS FOR HIM TO FINALLY FIX IT! And if it couldn't get any worse, when I got the lamp and plugged it in at my house, it smoked at the top. The light was not at all brighter than before, instead it got dimmer, till finally the bulb burned out!! I am so upset with this guy's service. How can a lamp business owner not know how to fix a fluorescent lamp?? Why this run around with an unnecessary conversion to halogen based on his ridiculous advice? Why? Because it's a struggling business that is dying to rip off customers! I do not recommend this place to anyone. Do yourself a favor and find a more reliable lamp business with those who know what they are doing! That's what I would do, if I knew this is what would happen!
