Light Bulbs Etc

Just OK .and nothing more… Very busy place on a Saturday…

Great service with experience. Great prices too. Thank you David for your help today.

Carol was fabulous to work with! We love our lighting in our remodeled home. She helped us select the right fixtures, electrical and bulbs. We would highly recommend Carol at
Lightbulbs Etc. in Orange.

I still love this place! If you are a contractor, ask about their Lite Bites referral program.
This place is my first choice for all of my fixture purchases. I always deal with David Rape’, and he always gets my call in orders perfect. He even catches things that I need, but forget to order. They have a great stock selection, great prices, and excellent products. As an Electrician, I highly recommend this location. Colin does a great job at running this store.

This place is THE PLACE to be for any lighting desires.
Me, my dad, and his electrician friend were on an adventurous journey to find the perfect, practical LED fan light for my room so I could study well and hard. Our trip to Lowe’s was useful in finding out basic information regarding the wattage and allowance for fan lights when it comes down to LED. LED lights are pretty new and innovative so it’s hard to find one for a good price without sacrificing quality.
Moreover, Lowe’s didn’t satisfy us with our LED fanlight needs so we were recommended to this place. Light Bulbs Etc. is located on the side of the ever-​bustling Tustin St. and is easy to find as long as you know the address number.
Inside I was greeted by heaven for lights. Ceiling fan lights, standing lights, chandelier lights, lamp lights, vanity fixtures, the list is never-​ending!
I think his name was Hector, I forget, but whoever it was was extremely helpful in helping us find our lighting needs. We ended up buying the newest ceiling fan in a dark mahogany wood with an LED light straight in the center. It was pricey, about $ 300 but well worth it.
If you ever need a specialty store that knows lighting, this is the place to be.

Today was our third time here and each time we received excellent service. We needed new LED light bulbs for our bedroom and living room. Today they showed us the difference between a 2700K and 3000K bulb. Very helpful since I have cataracts and can’t see as well. The lights we bought were less expensive because SCE paid for half the cost. Definitely will go back for all our lighting needs. Love the personal service. Thank you George from GSW for telling us about Light Bulbs Etc.

As a Licensed Building contractor for over 40 years I am blown away at the selection and the service of Light Bulbs Etc. I send all of my customers there and have for over 10 years. They are extremely knowledgeable and have access to just about any kind of lighting you could possibly want. The pricing is competitive and without having to brave the internet and wonder what you will get. Give me brick and motor stores with real people who know there stuff over the maybe experience of the internet. If you are looking for lighting or even a specialty light bulb this is the place. Don’t waste your time elsewhere. Literally hundreds of my customers have done just that and I have heard nothing but thanks for sending them to the Light Bulb Etc. team.

I was referred here by my contractor Jeremy Hobson and I cannot say enough good about their selection but most importantly their customer service. I have worked with Wayne and he has gone up and beyond his call of duty helping me make the proper selection and giving me ideas along the way! He has spent so much time with me and I never felt like it was a burden. The owner has been there each time I have been in and he is just a delight. The quality and selection of their products are well above other big chain stores and I will be back for sure for my other lighting needs. Thanks Wayne and Light Bulbs Etc for a great experience!

June 3 was the day I walked in and ordered our fixtures. September 24 was when I picked up my last fixture. I’m willing to pay more for great advice, good selection and proper customer service but this place failed on customer service. Terrible order follow up, horrible communication and very unprofessional treatment make me never want to shop here again. Things never got ordered properly, manufacturers that they deal with discontinued items. Custom order follow up consisted of me calling them weekly begging for information. Once something did arrive, their receiving department never told customer service. Once we were told it was ready to pick up, the wiring was incomplete. Never again. Close to four months for a freaking light fixture. Give me a break.

This is my GoTo place for lighting now. We bought a lamp in Turkey, (the Country fighting Isis right now) and brought it back. But the Edison based lamps in Europe are a different size than we use here in the US. The fellows at Home Depot threw up their hands and said «We don’t have a bulb for that!» But they did print out the locations of this place, and they were right on!
This place has every conceivable lighting device known to anyone who is not homeless. And it really cool in there with all the ceiling fans going. The had just the right bulb, and again my choice of adapters for using a US sized bulb in the new lamp. Great idea, I got both. So I used the bulb (perfect fit) and taped the adapter to the underside of the hollow lamp base, in case we want to switch bulbs later.
Okay so problem solved right?
Nope, when I got home the ceiling fan in the kids room had a broken switch, so back I go to this place. Now, having had a great experience (thanks to the Home Depot steer) this is my go to place for lighting. Sure enough they had exactly the right switch for my fan, only better! This one had a chain, and longer wires for easy installation. For us DIYers we value longer electrical wires and a little extra here and there.
The staff know a great deal about lighting, and work together well! This is the place.
Well recommended. Will return for all lighting needs.

I’ve been a customer of this store for years. In fact the current location is the third one in Orange that I have patronized. The service is always exceptional and the prices are very competitive. I was looking to upgrade my outdoor lighting and Colin recommended Liberty directional spot lights. I couldn’t be happier with the product, the price and the service.
Light Bulbs Etc has always been and will continue to be my «go to» store when it comes to lighting.

The selection of light bulbs is amazing, it is possible to purchase individual items unlike big box stores and the customer service is first rate! A big thank you to Wayne for all his help. You will never go back to a huge, impersonal store where the service is poor and the staff lacks any real knowledge!

Forget going to Victor’s Lighting! The service and selection at Light Bulbs, Etc. at the Tustin Store is far SUPERIOR! Today my husband and I went to both stores and as soon as you walked into the Tustin store you were greeted and asked if you needed help. No high pressure, just a friendly interest in showing my husband and me what they had in stock as well as in their catalogs. Wayne Barker, our sales rep was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, courteous, had great input to help us decide what we wanted, and wait… there’s more! He was cheerful and eager to be of service. Wow, when’s the last time you can say that about a salesperson?
Thanks, Wayne, I’m glad we bought our items from your store and thanks for the wonderful service!

I’ve had a great experience here so far. Judy has been really helpful and given me great suggestions rather than just letting me buy the first thing in sight. She discussed the places I’d be using the lights for and the use and what my options were. She explained the different between lights and bulbs and everything. So, fantastic service. And I’m ready impressed with their selection, especially of LED fixtures.

Feel cheated. We ordered over $ 1200 of merchandise, were quoted a price we agreed to in writing, waited for order to arrive and when we went to pick it up were told, oh by the way there is a $ 140 delivery charge. Totally bogus, terrible way to hold a customer hostage. Will take our business elsewhere. shame since selection is okay

The customer service was very good. We did not order from this store but their expert knowledge and willing to help you was great.

Everything is WAY OVERPRICED here. I would check online for the part or fixture you are looking for. As for me, I paid TRIPLE for a fixture I found at Home Depot, and when I went to go get a refund which was within 3 days, they wouldn’t let me me even though I didn’t even open the box.
Awful business… Again, take your business elsewhere!

I was the only customer in the place. Saw at least 8 people working there. I walked up to the center desk where 3 men were sitting. They all looked at me and kept talking to each other. Didn’t acknowledge I was standing there waiting for them. I walked the whole store again for about 15 minutes. Nobody approached me and i was still the only customer in there. Thought about going up to the desk again but decided they obviously didn’t want my business.

Really wonderful light bulbs and beautiful fixtures store locally owned (I think) right on Tustin Ave in Orange. Easy access from the 22 or the 55 Fwys.
The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. We had several different kinds of fixtures from Tube bulbs to Tract Lighting to get bulbs for to light ourselves up for the holidays. With all the food prep we were doing, we needed to have every light working as well as to accommodate our holiday dinner guests.
They are a delight to work with. The prices are good. And you will find many beautiful fixtures to lust after for your home that you won’t find at the Home warehouse stores.
Oh! And btw, the patrons? They are gentlemen! 1 held the door for me going in, and another gentleman held the door for me going out. We ladies LOVE it when gentlemen hold the door for us! For which we, naturally, gush and thank them!
Another OC Gem!

This is my go-​to place for unique lighting. I don’t buy bulk bulbs here — e.g., box of LEDs. I go to Home Depot for that. But if I need unique applications, nicer fixtures, and people who really know their stuff — I recommend Light Bulbs Etc.
By the way… the new under cabinet LED fixtures are really nice. Perfect replacement for old-​style tubes.
