Lightopia

Little bit smaller showroom then I expected but yet still very nicely displayed.
It seems like everything had to be ordered, the staff was very friendly and spent a considerable amount of tine with me answering all my stupid questions.
And these guys are open at 8am! A major plus.
Would highly recommend them for all your lighting needs.

I am very unhappy with this place. I was referred to them from my interior designer, we bought a wall scone from them over 5 months !!! Ago…
First they shipped the wrong item, we personally took it back, although I am in West Los Angeles, to expedite the process,
The person I have been talking to his name is Jon, when you talk to him he is very nice, but if you want results forget it !!!
Long story short till today I haven’t received my item and now that I want refund, they are making a big deal out of it !!!
Stay away from this place and their fake promises!
Im still waiting for my refund which I asked for two weeks ago!
This is absolutely unacceptable…
I will update you with the results of refund!!!

We’d like to compliment Aja Queen for working so creatively with us on our interior design projects. She has been very accommodating with each of our lighting needs. We know we can rely on Aja’s help from start to finish with our clients projects. She’s been able to provide technical assistance and offers thorough communication. We are grateful, Maison Blue Design Group

Update on the update…
My light fixtures, unfortunately, had some additional problems.
Ken (owner — Lightopia) found out there was a problem with that particular batch from the manufacturer.
So he decided to replace all my light fixtures (!) and personally came today to re-​install the new ones he had ordered for me (one by one!).
I am sure there will be no more issues with my brand new light fixtures!
GREAT service. Thanks, Ken!

I purchased lighting for our new construction home (exterior and interior lighting) and they have an amazing selection! Also, one of their lighting designers was able to guide us through our different rooms and selected lighting that not only fit our style and budget, but also the size of the room. They were so helpful every step of the way and we couldn’t be happier with the selections!

Best lighting store! Beautiful fixtures and awesome employees. All are so friendly. I’ve never seen lighting like this in other stores and will be using them again.

Wow I am so impressed! I had seen Lightopia’s website and driven by after hours. I was a bit intimidated and worried that they might not be able to help me find great fixtures within my budget. Many of their gorgeous fixtures are less than what I was expecting and they came up with a FABULOUS lighting answer to my «huge foyer» question. Truly a gem!

I’m a return customer for their fans and various catalog lights for my interior design clients. They are very helpful and make it easy to order from them because their staff is educated about the lines they represent… Pointing out options and alternatives that I may have missed when I show them what I need. I like these people.

Lightopia is amazing! As a interior designer I have been using them as my go to resource for lighting since the day I set foot in their store in 2006 and now there is a second larger showroom with lots great architectural lighting displays and truly unique fixtures in Manhattan Beach. Lightopia represents a wide and varied line of manufacturers for every price point, both residential and commercial.
What I really appreciate about the store is the great service, the sales staff is personable, knowledgeable and passionate about all aspects of lighting, as a design professional this is an invaluable resource. Lighting is a key component of design whether it is architectural in application or decorative. Their sales associates always go the extra mile, checking any technical specifications with the vendor or sales rep. The orders are always detailed and clear. Give Lightopia a try, I highly recommend them! They also have a great website and orders can be placed on line.

My husband and I LOVE Lightopia! It’s the first time we’ve redecorated a room around our lighting! Everything they have in the showroom is gorgeous and unique — plus they bend over backward to find what you really need if they don’t have it. The last time we were in lightopia for their Christmas party we spent a good amount of time speaking with Aja and you could tell just how much she loves what she does — very creative and knowledgable. She gave us several options for what we needed. Definitely recommend this company for any type of lighting need!

I love Lightopia! I discovered this local lighting store about 6 months ago and finally made my first purchase– they had a chandelier that was exactly what I’ve been searching for and it is beyond amazing. I called in with a general idea of what I was looking for and Aja helped lead me to the chandelier of my dreams! She was the greatest! Very knowledgeable and helpful– she didn’t try to upsell me on anything, but was very genuine in wanting to help me find something perfect that I would be happy with. I would highly recommend checking out Lightopia if you are looking to update your home with new lighting fixtures– they have a great selection of modern and unique pieces that will really refresh your living space.

I didn’t have a positive buying experience but did get great pieces.

Please don’t waste your time on this store. I purchased two sconces from the store. They were the wrong size by six inches so I sent them back to the store. They said they would refund my money and shipping. After trying to contact them four different times with no response. I was stuck with no refund. I had to contact my credit card company and get my refund.

Customer Service in this store is a joke. Walked in no hello from the store owner! We asked to turn a light on to see the sparkle (we are in the middle of a remodel and need lights for every room in our house) and he sighed so loud you would have thought there was a gust of wind. Then he starts complaining about his curre t customers and how he should never take a vacation. If you are looking for personalized treatment or even to look at a light on!!!- don’t go here!

Ridiculously good operating hours, great prices (they match internet pricing), and great customer service. We were really happy with the service and knowledge of Jon. The store is also our favorite (and we have been to most stores in OC). Smaller selection than most stores but the items they have are the best!

Great selection of items and I’m very happy with my purchase, but now I wish I would have purchased it elsewhere.
When a box of lightbulbs was tacked on to my order, that I did not request, I didn’t say anything at first because I figured it was a misunderstanding and I could just use them (my mistake-​I should have spoken up). When I realized they were the wrong wattage for my dimmer and tried to return them, it ended up being the biggest hassle, AND they charged me a restocking fee! Not even mentioning the fact that they charged me about 4 times as much for these bulbs than anywhere else!
I will not be taking anymore business here. Very disappointing.

For my 200^th review: I’ve got to review this:
Usually, my Boyfriend is the designated decorator of the house.
One stop here changed that. I found these unique fixtures I didn’t know i couldn’t live without, and got them shipped home (less stressful than inevitable airport scrutiny). And they don’t look like the generic Home Depot brushed aluminum or brass colored options.
Even shop-​phobic boyfrind got into it… Nothing like a little vacation shopping!
Great selection, excellent customer service from Ken –who answered all of my questions, a store dog and if that wasn’t enough, they are going online! Nice!
This means less money for me, better lighting for the house.
Win-​win.
Best part? When Visiting People say «Nice Sconces!»
My new lighting makes me look GOOD!
