Iv added to the Lightwave switches in my house gone from 3 to 9 after an extension and was struggling to connect them all up and have them work with Alexa. One phone call and the guys talked me through the whole process resetting everything and then then programming everything and now everything works independently and with the app and with Alexa.

I'm just of the phone to Jack at customer services on Christmas Eve. All I can say is WOW what a helpful guy. I recently had to replace my boiler switch and thermostat and had issues getting all setup with the new system. Jack was so clear and patient while talking me through the setup. It is amazing in this day and age to find such great customer service but I have always found this with Lightwave.
The only criticism I have is that the service only works Monday to Friday 9 to 5 (it used to be 24/7) as I work and it means I would have to take time of if I have an issue.
I wish more companies had JACK'S the world would be a better place.
Kind Regards Gerard

Spent 4.5k with the company (order

Spent 4.5k with the company (order: D18755). Have been trying to resolve an issue with one faulty switch and I’ve been taken through it, about 10/11 emails back and forth with various demands, multiple checklists and technical questions (I’m not an electrician) and now I’m being asked to return it for review, this will incur me more costs to remove and because it is only one gang not working, means we are unable to use any of the other switches for this area which is in the kitchen. Completely untenable this side of Christmas. Then you’ve also got the delay of me trying to arrange it to be refitted in the new year.

Really poor customer service and lack of awareness on proper resolution. Beware that if any of your switches are faulty you will likely be left without a working switch for a while and more electrician costs than is necessary.

Hi Alex,

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this must be, especially ahead of Christmas.

Jack has been trying to call and email you to get this resolved so that you have working lights in time for the holidays.

He is looking forward to working with you directly to ensure a proper resolution and minimise any further inconvenience.

Great products, Amazing customer service.

Wow, what great customer service! I have recently updated all my light switches to Lightwave dimmers and they are excellent. After a few months one dimmer developed a fault. I called Lightwave (not expecting much) but I immediately spoke to Jack who instantly identified the fault and arranged a replacement which arrived within 36 hours. Once installed, I had a quick call with jack who remotely programmed the 2way switch within seconds. It’s so rare these days to get good customer service but Lightwave seem to have cracked it. Well done!

Unresponsive switches

Having had no luck trying to figure out the configuration of my light switches I called customer service. Callum was absolutely great. Talking me through everything in language I could easily understand and managed to sort all my issues remotely.
I’d highly recommend calling for help if you have any issues. Quick, professional and super nice with it.

Fantastic experience with Jack at Lightwave today on the 15th of December 2025 with him calling back after a missed call over the weekend. Lightwave was able to call me back and immediately log into the system to help troubleshoot a problem with my lights that was installed way back in 2019 and continues to function extremely well. All credited to Lightwave! They clearly treat the employees extremely well and that translates to the employers treating the customers with such courtesy respect, and professional integrity with a skill set that is unmatched well lightwave and well done Jack.
