Great customer service. Very helpful in the store, help me find what I was looking for and kept me in the loop with shipping and delivery. Great experience and would buy from them again. read more

Behrang is the lighting whisperer! He helped us with a few projects when we were living in LaMorinda and then picked out the perfect fixtures for our new home when we moved to Atlanta. He was able to nail the look we were going for and the spacial restraints just from eyeballing the listing photos. We're so pleased with the drama and beauty he added to our home! read more

I ordered some LED lights to replace the bulbs purchased with the lights from this company in 2013. I had some trouble with installing so he came the next day to install himself! As I said to him, "That's crazy service!" I live in Alameda. I am so glad I got my lights from them! How can you give that kind of service? And yet he did! Bravo! read more

Walnut Creek Lighting is amazing! The staff was helpful, knowledgeable, and worked within our budget. We needed new lights and fans for our entire house and they helped us figure out our aesthetic when faced with all the choices. We are very happy with our new lighting. Truly a class act! read more

We've been living in our house for the past 10 years and had never replaced any of the lighting the house came with (which I always disliked!) We were introduced to Walnut Creek Lighting through word of mouth and are so happy to have found them. This place has an immense inventory of items, which admittedly, I was a little overwhelmed by. The owner, Behrang, helped ease our minds and helped us find lights that are perfect for our home. He patiently walked us through each room we wanted to replace the lights in and guided us through the different lighting styles, helping us finally pinpoint our design style and that would work realistically in our space. Additionally, I've never met anyone as passionate about lighting as Behrang clearly is. We were delightfully educated in the differences between fluorescent, halogen & LED bulbs - and we even switched over all of our house lighting to LED! We will be coming back and recommending Walnut Creek Lighting to anyone who asks. read more

Because of the pandemic I got really used to shopping online. As we began to plan for our remodel I found the process of shopping for finishes online very difficult. I looked up lighting stores nearby and decided to visit Walnut Creek Lighting. Wow wow wow. They have an amazing inventory and even more amazing staff. I came in really unsure of what I wanted and they were incredibly knowledgeable, and generous with their time. I even called when I got home with one more question. Behrang happily responded and made me feel comfortable in my indecisiveness. I couldn't be more thrilled with the sconces we chose. I very much look forward to going back as we continue to fix up our house. Lights make the room and Walnut Creek Lighting has the lights! read more

De-lighted! Highly recommend. Remodeling your home can be stressful, so finding those gems that make the process smoother, exciting even, is a gift. Our experience with Walnut Creek Lighting Company has been just that. The customer service and astonishing selection are brilliant, and we are grateful to have found them. After a short conversation with Behrang, the shop owner, his team crafted an intelligent, detailed lighting plan with value engineering that enhances our home and perfectly serves our preferences and lifestyle. Working with Behrang was so easy. His communications are lively and informative, and he pleasantly opened our eyes to possibilities while giving us highly personalized service. A well-designed lighting plan maximizes the use and enjoyment of your space, giving you control to adjust your environment to meet all of your needs (from accomplishing tasks, chilling, and socializing to creating atmosphere and charm). His guidance solved all of our needs, added efficiency, and made our home more beautiful. The process was straightforward and relaxed because we were in expert hands. In the end, we love our elegant, artful lighting that exceeds Title 24 compliance and transforms our house into our home. We couldn't be more pleased. read more

We have been happily making purchases from Walnut Creek Lighting for many years, and have been consistently pleased with the high level product lines, prices, service and durability. The owner Bahrang greets people warmly and is extremely helpful in making selections. We highly recommend this business for all your lighting needs!! read more

The light fixture over our sink was not working so I went to Walnut Creek lighting to source a new one. While I was in there I spoke to a really nice gentleman who happened to be the owner (Behrang) and explained to him my situation with the light fixture and he told me to bring it in to see if it could be fixed (I really liked the fixture). Fast forward a few weeks and I did just that, I brought it it with the intention of getting it repaired. He put in a new light bulb, tested the fixture and the halogen transformer, both parts worked and didn't need to be repaired. I told him I would pay for the light bulb but he refused to let me pay him. It was a very kind & thoughtful gesture. Thank you WC Lighting! read more

We moved to New York and asked Walnut Creek Lighting to help with the lighting in our apartment. Behrang, the owner, shipped us the lights that we bought and taught us how to install them ourselves. It went about a smooth as expected except that I needed a philips head screw driver for the install and had to get it from the hardware store. He even sent the light bulbs for the lights for free. Great service. They are now all installed and make our apartment much brighter than before. They have our business for life. read more

This store is both exceptional in the products they carry as well as their customer service. I went in a few times with them helping me decide on a chandelier and other lighting elements in my home. They gave expert advice and made the process a piece of cake. Thanks again for all your help! read more

Behrang is very well versed in how to improve his customer's living space with fantastic lighting. I found his customer service to be top notch and his personable demeanor to be refreshing. Choosing fixtures and decor for a house can be difficult, however Behrang offered great insight & perspective on what could work well for our home. I would definitely recommend Walnut Creek Lighting my family & friends. read more

We purchased two pendants from this place and we've had amazing experience with them. Yes, a tad expensive but selection & quality is also high. But years down the road, one of my pendant light's wiring disconnected and unravelled so it stopped coming on. Decided to ask them to repair, and the owner did it for free!! In one afternoon he fixed it with a smile on his face. Totally worth the cost. Highly recommended! read more

Love this little store! The staff here helped me select the perfect lighting for my living room and kitchen. I never felt rushed or pressured and I was so very happy with how everything turned out. read more

We purchased a fairly expensive light fixture for our dining room, got it home and it sat, unopened in our garage for 8 months (getting it installed was clearly not a huge priority.). Yesterday, the electrician arrived and as soon as we opened the box, we realized the fixture was WAY too big for our space. Since it had been 8 months, I was not very hopeful about my prospects for returning/exchanging it. I called Walnut Creek Lighting anyway and they could not have been nicer or more helpful. After explaining that the fixture could not be returned to the manufacturer (they only have 21 days to do that), they offered to put it on display and sell it in their store. They would charge us a reasonable restocking fee and give us a store credit for the remainder. The in-store experience when we returned it was equally helpful and kind. The owner told us that he just wanted us to be happy with our purchase. We ordered the same fixture in the next size down and actually ended up getting some money back (very unexpected). This could have been such an awful experience, but Walnut Creek Lighting made it one to be praised. We were so pleasantly surprised that it caused us to write our first ever YELP review (that's this one). We will definitely return to this store and will highly recommend it to anyone with lighting fixture needs/ read more

We bought a new home a few months ago and completely renovated it. When it came to lighting, the house was completely outdated. We found Walnut Creek lighting from a friend that had ordered from them and used their services. Even though we are located in San Diego Behrang took the time to send us various collections that would accommodate our desired style. We received our beautiful lights within a few days of ordering them and they are absolute beautiful. We love our new house and the lighting by Walnut Creek lighting makes our house that much more beautiful. Thanks you! read more

See all

We did a full renovation of our home in Lafayette and used Walnut Creek lighting for everything. They were fantastic to work with and very accommodating! They helped us retro fit a fixture we loved to work with our sloped ceiling. Super helpful and amazing customer service! read more

Waaaay better selection than the chain lighting store! The clerk at WC Lighting helped me find a modern bathroom fixture that matched my style and brightness requirements and was reasonably within my budget. They ordered it and they called a week or so later when the fixture came in. It's now installed and looking/functioning well. The showroom isn't huge, but it does have a relatively good selection. I imagine they have tons of catalogs if you don't see what you're looking for. Easy parking too. read more

This store carries a huge selection of lighting (indoor and out) at all price points. Our house was very poorly lighted and I sought their help in redesigning the whole home's lighting plan. They have a secret weapon at this store and her name is Alissa Carlos. She is a lighting designer and she really knows her stuff. She spent an hour in our home assessing our needs and came up with a comprehensive lighting plan which she emailed to me, along with attached photos of suggested fixtures and a price list. Her suggestions were just superb. We took their advice and used Marc Croke to install our lighting, which was a big ( two and a half day) job. He was great. Highly recommended. The job is finished and we are thrilled to finally have a well lit and also more energy- efficient home. read more

Wonderful place to shop if you are looking for white glove service and personal attention. Behrang was a pleasure to work with, super knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Forget online shopping and the big box stores, they're priced very competitively and have a great selection. read more

Wow!! What a great experience at Walnut Creek Lighting!! Katy was super helpful in finding the matching Hubbardton Forge Ceiling fixture to my table lamp. Katy even ordered me a new finial which was missing on my existing lamp!! (I didn't even buy it there!!) I work in the furniture industry and even work with many lighting companies, I know what Net/List pricing is for fine lighting and Walnut Creek Lighting is VERY competitive!! I can't tell you how nice it is to have a store to walk into where they can take care of things in person! (Also, my tax dollars stay in the community!!) Thank you Katy and Walnut Creek Lighting, I can see by my great experience and all of the great reviews that you are going to be my new lighting store of choice!! read more

For our remodel, we brought our architect's lighting plans to Walnut Creek Lighting in order to be revised and improved. I greatly value simplicity, quality (from a user-centered experience), intelligence and competitive pricing. Behrang and his team brought this winning formula to our project, with exceptional customer service and positivity. They're the best. read more

WC Lighting has provided the lighting for both of our homes. They have the best prices, consistently less than high-end lighting companies like Circa. Most importantly, Behrang and Katie offer the best customer service and also have excellent taste. They can help assist you with however expansive your project may be. read more

Awesome! Highly recommend. Customer service is A++. Very helpful & knowledgeable. You may pay just a few more $ than online, but definitely worth it. read more

Everyone at Walnut Creek Lighting was super helpful when we remodeled our kitchen and dining room recently. Katy was especially great, taking time to help me find what I was thinking of...I had no idea if it actually existed or not. She found it. And ordered it. And helped us choose the correct shades and light bulbs to get just the look and amount of light we wanted. Everyone in the shop went above and beyond in their level of customer service from beginning to end. read more

Since moving into my new home, I've had many lighting needs in the past couple of years.  Then I spend (actually waste) countless hours looking on-line at thousands of lamps and chandeliers.  Nothing is ever perfect...until I go to Walnut Creek Lighting Company and speak with Behrang.  Amazingly in less than 5 minutes of explaining what I want, he finds the exact lighting answer in his store.  The store is packed with lights and each time I walk right past the perfect light until Behrang points it out to me.  He knows his inventory and his industry.  And if he doesn't have what you specifically need, he can find and order it for you.  Plus his employees, esp Tony make sure your lights are delivered and working.  Please don't waste your time like I did - just come here first.  You'll be happy. read more

Not only does Walnut Creek Lighting Co have the best selection in town, they also have the most knowledgable and helpful staff and owner! I bring all of my work lighting fixtures here. They are always able to solve whatever lighting issue we are having or help us find an appropriate replacement. My other huge plus about them is that they always have a smile on their faces when you walk through the door, and seem genuinely happy to have you there. That makes my experience with them THAT much better every time I go in! read more

. I bought a chandelier online and it looked real cheap when it arrived. So I went to Walnut Creek lighting to find a good chandelier. Real good service with a large selection of indoor and outdoor lighting. read more

We have purchased all our lighting for our home from them. We are general contractors and demand service-quality-support. Walnut Creek Lighting provides all of these factors. If you have an issue, they are there to help. Buying online will not provide the services that they provide every day. They also can modify and customize your orders. Our number one place for our lighting needs. read more

I got recessed lights from this company. I paid them a fee fo $300 for a lighting place for 7 kitchen lights. When the lights that they specified were installed they hummed. I talked to them about this and they told me another (expensive) piece of equipment could be installed that would stop the problem. It did not, so I returned it. They had no idea how to resolve problem. So, for several years I have lived with it. This week I had an electrician come out to do other work and told me that it was the transformers on the lights. He replaced the lights with another Halo product and now all is well. This store charged me for a lighting plan -- BAD ONE -- sell you the product, one you pay then a fee to recommend, but does nothing to help when there is and issue with what they recommeded. The result is that I paid for lighting TWICE. What did I pay them for?! NOT HAPPY! read more

I'm amazed how Walnut Creek Lighting has wide range of collections! I was assisted by Behrang, and he has the best customer service!! Although it has so many to choose from, I was able to find the one that fits perfect in my living room space. Thank you! read more

Hands down this lighting store is an East Bay diamond! Needed track lighting quickly and received immediate response from the store founder Behrang. He texted me photos of high quality and stylish LED light choices for a reasonable price point to choose from. Behrang then went above and beyond (twice!) to deliver items to my home to save me the trip to WC. Really helped me out in a time crunch. This store is run by a true professional who is a really amiable person. It is really hard to find such attention to detail and customer service these days. This will be my 'go to' store for lighting needs in the future. Ten stars and thanks Behrang. The rooms look amazing. read more

Our new 1929 home needed some major updating, newer light fixtures were a must! Based on reviews for WCL Co we decided to check it out - JACKPOT. We walked in knowing sort of what we were looking for and walked out with exactly what we wanted. Behrang, the owner of the shop, greeted us within seconds and made our shopping experience easy and enjoyable. He asked us what we were looking for and what style we had in mind, from there he showed us things that fit our criteria and gave us options to choose from in terms of price and quality. It was so awesome that he narrowed things down, the shop had lots to choose from but we definitely didn't waste time. He was super friendly, engaging and thorough. We ended up buying 2 ceiling fans, a dining room fixture, vanity fixture, 2 pendant lights, and 3 outdoor fixtures. After price researching online for a month or so prior, I feel like we came away with great deals. We spent a little more than we wanted to originally, but got way better quality items for our money. Our purchase was shipped in waves, but all items arrived when they were expected to. Installation was easy and each piece looks better than we could have imagined! read more

Update: Behrang has reached out multiple times to make things right. I sincerely appreciate his helpfulness and willingness to help after my original review. I am rating a 3 because of this effort and improved customer service. I never returned so I cannot speak to in house customer service, timeliness, etc. They appear to have a big selection. read more

My wife and I came to this store and were helped by the owner, Behrang. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped us with ideas for our house. Even though we did not end up making a purchase on the day we visited, I was glad we went to this business just for the customer service provided by Walnut Creek Lighting Co. alone. read more

We just moved to Moraga and needed lighting advice for our new place and found Walnut Creek lighting on Yelp. We called and made an appointment with the owner and went into the store the next day. It was exactly what we needed. After 2 hours in the store we felt so much more confident and knowledgeable about lighting. They have a great selection in stock and parking is really easy. We got an electrician to install both of the chandeliers and our sconce (didn't know what a sconce was before going into the store). The entire team was helpful and they even brought us bottled water while we were in the store. GREAT SERVICE. read more

I bought a floor lamp from these folks a few months ago and it was a great experience. Really liked the staff and the lamp has been working great ever since. Planning on going back soon for a desk lamp. read more

Not only are the products excellent here - the service and support are OUTSTANDING!!!!! I have bought 3 beautiful fans from this store. After a few years I had a problem with one of them and went in for help. The owner, Behrang was amazing and patient even though I came in pretty annoyed. He helped me troubleshoot the issue and actually listened. He gave me a great suggestion to try and also called two other people on my behalf in case his idea didn't work. Not only was his solution spot on - he even called me the next day to check in. I am honored to support a local business that puts its customer first - look no farther - this is the store to meet all your lighting needs!!!! read more

I was going to Whole Foods and on my way I spotted this lighting store and decided I'd finally get a reading lamp for my desk. At first I was a little intimidated because a lot of the stuff seemed pretty high end, but the guy who helped me was really nice and found me exactly what I needed. If I ever can afford a house I'm buying all my lights here, the showroom had some amazing stuff. read more

Behrang is a lighting GURU. Move over Game of Thrones, we've got your Lord of Light right HERE on Newell Ave. But enough of unsubstantiated opinion. Let's get into the GRITTY NITTY details. We embarked on a huge home remodel 18 months ago. Big deal, 3 storey house, blown out the core, ripped down to the studs, new foundation / electrical / plumbing / waterproofing / framing / basement / drainage / stairs / kitchen and 5 bathrooms. You name it, we did it. Hey, the house was 106 years old, waddya want me to say? As the framing was being completed, my contractor called me up and said, "hey, have you figured out a lighting plan? we're about ready to start electrical rough-in and we need to know what you want us to do!" I was caught totally off-guard, with no idea. "Who usually does that," I asked? I considered our architect, but he has a pretty steep hourly rate and we honestly didn't have the budget for him. Enter Behrang. I walked into his store and was instantly struck by his friendly, open style. I described to him what I was looking for ("um, my contractor says I need to come up with a lighting plan?") and took it totally in stride. There followed a 10 minute primer, "everything you need to know about designing a lighting system for a whole house." Forget about the fact that I wasn't asking the right questions, he taught me what the questions were, then answered them, all the while making me feel like I knew exactly what was going on. I sent him our blueprints, and he paid us a visit (walked through the house) and, voila! two days later he'd drawn out the entire lighting plan on our prints including ambient lighting, task lighting, and decorative lighting (as Ive learned, these are the 3 components of a lighting plan). He didn't ever pressure me to buy the fixtures from him, although of course I did. His prices were very competitive, and I do a LOT of internet research (what's up with the 4 dollar signs $$$$, by the way?? totally off base...) Fast forward to present. We are now in the house, and we couldn't be happier. Every time I bust on those recessed 2700K Halo recessed gimbals on my lutron CL dimmers, I lose myself in (appropriately lit) bliss. With Behrang and WC Lighting, it's not just the lights that glow, it's the whole approach to the experience of planning, designing, and installing a lighting system. We couldn't be happier with the outcome, and we are appreciative of Behrang's expertise every time the lights go on. Thanks!!! read more
