Wolfers Lighting

Great service from Joe in Allston! He found us exactly what we were looking for after we had visited several other stores.

We are so pleased with the service and pricing we have received from Wolfer’s. Bonnie, the Allston showroom manager, in particular, has been excellent to work with. Not only did she work with us to get great pricing on a number of fixtures, but her advice was so valuable. We are building a new house, and therefore needed to place a large order for different fixtures. Had we continued choosing the light fixtures completely on our own without her consultation, we know that we would have made mistakes. She was helpful in looking at the plans, and providing advice based on ceiling height, bulb size and the appropriate sized fixture. We had previously been at some other stores in the area and the service we received from Bonnie was leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. We only wish that we hadn’t wasted time by shopping at the other stores! Thank you again

Allston store. The products looked good, and to begin with the service was too. Gerry offered to assist me, and she was giving me very helpful information about track lighting. Then another customer asked Gerry to «complete her quote». Without a word to me, Gerry took the piece of paper the woman was holding, logged onto the computer, and appeared to continue that transaction. I stood there, waiting. Gerry didn’t seem to a) notice that I was there; or b) remember that she had been in the middle of a conversation with me. Perhaps being light brown means you’re invisible in Wolfers, I don’t know. I left. Another sales person followed me out and invited me back into the store. She was very nice and apologetic. However, at that moment, I was done. What ever happened to simple manners?

Great selection and terrific help. We actually came here from the other Wolfers becasue we had a bad experience there. This location was great and fixed the error the other location made. Highly recommend this location.

Wolfers may be on the pricey side of things, but damn, the things they offer are pretty to very nice, the lighting showroom is better and better located than many others options.
I like all the people who work here a great deal. They have always been helpful and accommodating as seemingly possible.
Good for the designer, architect, homeowner, or electrical contractor in you.

Okay, Wolfers is an excellent place for Lighting supplies and light fixtures. They mainly cater to the trades (electricians, designers etc.) and commercial /​businesses. However, Wolfers also has retail locations for consumers.
— Excellent customer service
— Very knowledgeable staff
— Large selection in a great showroom
— High quality fixtures
I stopped in the Alston store on North Beacon Street on a Saturday to check out track lighting options. The gentleman that helped me was terrific.
He covered: the power options, the different track lighting types, showed me all the options for fixtures that go on the track that he recomended.
Suggested a halogen light fixture that used less power, showed me how to remove the halogen bulb from the tight fitting socket with a piece of tape. Also, he showed me how to properly mount the fixture in the track and how to unlock and remove the fixture from the track properly. Tips on how to do it without breaking the track.
My walls/​ceiling are the old type of walls with lathe and plaster. No problem, the Wolfers lighting guy knew exactly how to handle these older walls and made installation suggestions.
I went home and installed the halogen track lights like I was a pro… and when I plugged it it and turned on the switch the track lights worked perfectly. (I opted to use a track light configuration that could be plugged into an outlet — this also saved me the headache of getting an electrician)
