Lighting

This place has just about everything! I was very impressed by the selection. The store was fairly busy (Saturday afternoon) so I didn’t interact with anyone, but I prefer to browse without a salesperson following me around anyway.
It was fun to walk around but ultimately they didn’t have the particular lamp style I wanted.
One note: if in doubt, call ahead to make sure they are open. We tried to visit on July 3^rd and they were closed for the 4^th of July holiday.

Ged is awesome. Their prices are higher than online but the service is better and the satisfaction of doing business locally is worth every penny.

Horrible customer service. Walked around for about twenty minutes in front of employees with zero interaction. No one greeted us when we entered, no one asked questions, nothing. Would highly recommend against even visiting this place.

I have worked with lighting inc a few times being in the design business and they are never very helpful. I always feel like no one knows what they are doing. Checking out takes 20 minutes, etc. Just a very frustrating business to work with.

I had the opportunity to replace a number of fixtures in my both my upstairs bathrooms. From the lighting to the door handles to the bath and toilet. I asked around about where the best small businesses in Houston were to look at and purchase new fixtures was and Lighting Inc. came up. Now, I didn’t get all my stuff from there because I didn’t know this place existed until the middle of the project but I did get a chance to finish the project here.
Jessica, the sales rep for Lighting Inc. was great help in figuring out what we wanted. I just told her that some of the other fixtures in the room were going to be a brushed nickel and she showed us several options based on the height of the ceiling. She knew the wattage limits which is both strange to me and very helpful because I didn’t know what kind of bulbs I wanted. What was more awesome was she showed us similarly designed options with noticeably different prices. We ended up picking two sets of lighting fixtures for the ceiling and walls.
Bedroom fans are next. I plan on picking up a couple here as we finish the project. Until then… I would rate this five stars but I love the pun about fans in the rating.

Service, poor service. Not my first purchase from these folks. When updating a powder room with the current «oil rubbed bronze» I went here. Did not need a fixture to fit within castle walls and did not want to tear out the entire wall to update a fixture.
My spouse put in the order of what was needed in person, and was told to pick up said fixture the following day. Discovered when I arrived home the following day that the fixture I was given was not correct. Returned to the store the following day with the wrong fixture, was told Lori, the sales person had the day off. The old «wrong invoice #», «mixed up box», «not in stock» (excuses to me are merely dressed up lies) were all utilized, this is not brain surgery, just mere little light fixture.
Was promised that the correct fixture would be brought over the following day and someone would call me to verify same so as not to incur more downtime, lost energy/​gas, etc. Three separate phone calls were made by me, each time I spoke with someone different that did not know how to assist, hopefully it was just a lousy week for everyone.
Spoke with Jose who stated to me it was not his job to assist with this matter but he promised he would call me back. He did return my phone call and the following day I picked up the correct fixture. Doubt that I recommend friends or businesses to utilize their services in the future. Parking ghastly, the place has more business than they know what to do with, difficult to get into park or to leave out of the parking lot and I don’t drive a Texas tank.

Okay, in the world of enormous lighting fixtures (seriously, think of chandeliers as large as swimming pools), Lighting Inc is heaven. If you’re one of those people with an enormous entryway (especially outdoors) and you need something large and grandiose, this is definitely the spot for you. I’ve never seen chandeliers of this size before (hell, I didn’t know they made anything that large any longer!) and it just makes you wonder how heavy they are.
The rest of the store has other fixtures, but mostly focused on ceiling components as opposed to lamps (floor or table). Almost everything in the store is traditional, so if you’re looking for something modern, just go across the street to Lighting Unlimited. If you’re looking for something standard, the prices seemed a bit friendlier here.
The service was a bit lacking. While we were in there, no on approached us and we were completely ignored until I went to the front desk to grab a card to write down a lamp’s information that we were considering. Still, not a bad visit at all and I’d recommend them for any type of fixture replacement that you’re considering, as long as it isn’t too contemporary.
