Light Bulb Warehouse

I special ordered 30 LED light bulbs for my business, they didn’t ship on time, however, the owner stepped up and pulled some more expensive items off the shelf to meet the window I had with my electrician. Hats off to this guy and his business for helping a small business owner in a spot!
Thanks again and I will be back with all my future business.
Cheers!

For the second time, I visited Light Bulb Warehouse for an unusual bulb that no one else seem to have. I brought the old bulb with me and the very nice lady behind the counter helped me find the bulb I needed and sold me a few extra replacements. Each bulb was about $ 2, so worth buying the extras. I was in and out of the shop in less than 10 minutes with exactly what I needed. Another time I was there — many years ago — for another unusual bulb, for an odd pendant lamp. I had gone to the usual box stores with no luck and Light Bulb Warehouse had exactly what we needed, no hassle, no time wasted. If you need any unusual bulbs, try this shop and you’ll save a lot of time and energy for your next DIY job.

I needed to update the lighting in my bathroom from the old school, 40 watt soft light bulbs that made the room too hot, to something cooler — literally. I went to Home Depot and Lamps Plus only to be told they didn’t have anything that would work. Lamps Plus referred me to Light Bulb Warehouse where I found the perfect LED bulbs for my Hollywood style lighting. Abby helped me out and told me these little round lights would be perfect. They are 5 watts each and last up to 5 years. No, they are not cheap, but worth every penny just for the fact that I can stand to look at myself in the mirror, I’m not roasting to death in the morning and the lighting is perfect! Thank you Abby and Light Bulb Warehouse! Oh, and you can pretty much find anything you’re looking for regarding lighting there.

Was fast, easy and with very good low prices. I was very pleasantly suprised.
Nice people to deal with. I like them !

I’m a submarine officer. In the low-​level light conditions of a control room while a periscope depth, the correct lighting is very difficult to find. Typically you have to buy darkroom lights to get the perfect lighting condition you require. But Berry took the time to explain to me many different options showed me different fixtures and different lighting options and I was able to come up with a better lighting solution at a fraction of the price I thought I might pay. It’s worth your time to stop by talk to Barry and figure out all the different options before purchasing lightning.

I recently needed to replace the compact florescent bulb in my bathroom’s combination fan/​light. This particular bulb has a two pin connector, but Home Depot only had the four pin version at a cost of $ 3.49. So I took the old bulb to Light Bulb Warehouse and the lady at the desk brought me a new replacement bulb. It was a good thing that I examined the new bulb since it was the four pin version, and not what I requested. She apologized and returned with the correct version. As to the price — their web site claims that they sell bulbs for ½ the price of the home repair stores, but my new bulb came to $ 8.27 before tax (the 4 pin version was the same price). That’s more than double the Home Depot price. Anyway, three stars since they had the right bulb in stock.

I had just bought a couple lamps that required special bulbs. I went to Light Bulb Warehouse and Barry helped me find just what I needed – even gave me some advice on saving money with a different type of bulb! Great customer service!

What more can I say? They had the bulb I needed that Home Depot didn’t. Showed them the previous bulb, got the new one, paid, and was quickly on my way. Total time was about 2 minutes. Very friendly and helpful and even kept the old lightbulb to dispose of it properly. Kudos!

Unbelievably positive experience! Went to find out why the bulb I bought at Home Depot wouldn’t fit in my new kitchen overhead fixture. Barry, (the owner?) was incredibly knowledgeable about bulbs and my problem. And he didn’t rush me as he was offering an explanation of what to do.
He suggested a bulb as a solution and then, without me saying anything further, explained that the «temperature» of my kitchen bulbs might not be quite right (he was correct). He offered me a second bulb (at a different temperature) so I could decide for myself.
Here’s the kicker: he gave me both bulbs (ON LOAN), told me to see which one worked better and then come back to the store and buy the one I felt did a better job for me. He didn’t SELL me two bulbs — he GAVE me two bulbs to try out. And he trusted me to pay for the one I selected. (After such incredible service I bought both bulbs — even though I didn’t need one of them.)
They’ve earned my future business for life. This IS your father’s bulb store — in all the GOOD ways.

Parked right up front. Walked in with our dead BR25 can light bulb. We were immediately greeted by friendly owner who went in the back and came back with a box. He gave us a deal and we walked out with a box of 7. We just got home and the bulb is a perfect fit – I feel so handy!
After my last nightmare experience at Home Depot, I will be coming here for all my light bulb needs! Why did I waste so much time at that other terrible box store?
Don’t miss all the party, black, colored, LED, & rope lights too. They even have a disco ball! We are already thinking of some more projects around the house /​yard /​office.
Driving tip: come up Marina from the south going north otherwise lots of no u-​turn signs coming south down from north.

I went here instead of Home Depot, because I would much rather support this small local business. I was greeted promptly upon enter the story and even though they didn’t have the same exact build I was looking for, they had some very similar. So I bought the it looks great in my bathroom vanity. I would definitely come back if I needed more builds. Great place!

I would love to support a local small business like this one; just like many other of the low stars reviews, I found it impossible to buy something from this store if they don’t already have it in stock, because ordering something is made very difficult.
They have minimums they won’t tell you about, make promises to order something which never happens, and don’t apologize if the product never shows up. They don’t even apologize if a mistake is made.

Went here to purchase these somewhat hard-​to-​find fluorescent light bulbs that fit inside my bathroom fan fixtures. They didn’t have them in stock and the woman behind the counter tried to sell me another, similar-​looking bulb. Problem was, the bulb she was trying to sell me had two prongs and the bulbs that I needed have three prongs. So, in essence, they wouldn’t fit. Anyone knows that — or so you would think. Got the saleswoman to order the bulbs; she said she’d call me when they were in. Seven days later she calls me and says they couldn’t order the bulbs because they don’t make them anymore. Ms. Light Bulb Warehouse was none-​too-​pleasant about it, either — as if I’d deliberately sent her on some wild goose chase looking for a phantom, non-​existent light bulb just for kicks or something.
When I got off the phone I did what I should have done in the first place: I typed in the name and serial number of the light bulb I was looking for on Google. About a dozen websites immediately came up that were selling the light bulb I was looking for. I ordered the bulbs and they arrived via USPS three days later — which is four days quicker than it took charm girl to call me back to tell me the light bulbs don’t exist anymore.

i went in for 8 pieces of 24″ T8 6500k bulbs… Yes those old blue monstrosities suitable for indoor undercabinet lighting.
I get quoted 17 $/​bulb. with a lead of several days…
I call their supplier (google is your friend) and a BOX of 24 bulbs was 1.75 each with 25 $ shipping.
Which do you think i went with?

If I was a home builder, I would pick light fixtures that used standardized light bulbs. However, that is not the case at my house. I needed one light with weird offset prongs that was nowhere to be found at a normal home store. So after a trip to ACE hardware, and Home Depot, we were directed to the Light Bulb Warehouse — and eureka, they had it.
No crowds, easy parking. I will head straight here the next time i need a light bulb.

Went today to grab a few bulbs. Was greeted by two folks at the counter and asked what they could help me with. Showed them the bulbs I needed as I brought in the blown bulbs. I was in and out in 5 minutes… Easy to get to, good service… Will definitely go back when I need more bulbs!

Ok. This is not about their lightbulb business but the window business they run out of there called Coverglass USA. Service has gone into the toilet since we purchased $ 8k in Milgard windows last year from them.
This year cannot even get them to call back for glass railings. Called 3 times before they would even make an attempt to get their sales guy Matt to call me back. Matt set an appointment to measure and no showed. When I call them back, they said they’d look into it and after a few were sorry calls, still no measure, no Matt, no call back.
last time we’ll do business there, unfortunately as they do have every light bulb we’ve needed.

First of all the sign out front says. We have every lightbulb! OK, well they gave me too high of expectations. I brought in my odd 4 pin bulb. Driving 10 miles just for a stupid lightbulb.
Me– «you got these?»
Him «Yep, but were out of stock. They will be back in a week»
Me — «OK, well can i just order them and have them sent»
Him — «We don’t do that here, but you can go to the website»
Me — «Are there any other light bulb stores in the area?»
Him — «Nope, just lamp stores»
Proceed to looking on Unilocal…
There is another store 0.25 miles away, and yes they have the bulb I need.
Basically he didn’t want to help me. He just wanted me to go home and order it myself. If you just want to run an internet business close your store front.

Great variety — zillions of ligthbulbs of every color and size — and very nice service. Actually great service considering that I came in to the store with equivalent of three berserk bulls and there were some close calls with all those fragile lightbulbs.

I REALLY don’t want to give this place 1 stars. They deserve 5 stars. They SHOULD have 5 stars. I can’t even bring myself to leave them a 2 star review. They get 1 stars, and I will tell you why.
The guy at the front desk with the British (?) accent is fantastic. He knows everything one could hope a lightbulb guy to know, treats the customers with respect, and is a shrewd and straightforward businessman.
The selection is freaking AMAZING. The store has character and is fun.
However, this place had a chance to get me as a customer-​for-​life and blew it. I was looking for a set of 8 solux daylight equivalent bulbs (~90 bucks with tax, so not a minor sale) and Lightbulb warehouse told me all I needed to know about them and promised to order me the wattages they did not have. I was told they would be in on Wednesday (2 days!), and they even offered to mail them straight to my house. I left a happy customer.
On Tuesday I get a call telling me that because there was not enough demand for that wattage, they could not order me the bulbs. Apparently there was a «minimum» order that I did not meet and could not meet as a consumer. No one mentioned this, no one hinted at a problem, and this came out of the blue. I asked if they could make an exception, or if they kept them in stock, and to all questions the answer was no.
If your sign says «we carry every bulb in every style» then you had DAMN well better do so. If you aren’t ready to order a box of bulbs so that you can make a sale, then you don’t deserve to have customers! I don’t think it is reasonable for a lightbulb warehouse to place the burden of bulk-​ordering onto the end consumer, and therefore I have to go with «I think not» as a rating. Lightbulb Warehouse, you will always be in my heart– but I must say goodbye.
