Jack Mitchell - fantastic service!!

Jack was fantastic during our call. He went over and beyond what he needed to do. I was more than happy with the work he did to help resolve my issues. He was professional, courteous and went out of his way to help. Top class customer service. Thank you!

Customer Service Excellence!

I recently needed some help after a short circuit caused one of my switches to “blow”. The service I received in the initial call from Callum was Great, who advised me of a more robust solution using a relay (after my replacement switch blew again and was replaced under warranty).

When the new kit arrived I was emailed by Eve who followed up with a call to ensure I had all the information I needed to install the new Switch and relay. This was Amazing!! Once successfully installed and tested I asked if the old switch could be repaired, and once again Eve went far above what I would have expected from customer services, explaining that the old switch could still be used (as the wifi/lights were still operational) to trigger a relay, therefore giving new life to a switch I would have otherwise thrown away.

I've been extremely impressed with the no only the depth of knowledge of Callum and Eve, but also the lateral thinking shown by Eve in suggesting an alternative way to reuse my old switch.

This is, in my opinion, and example of what outstanding customer service looks like.

LightwaveRF should be proud that they have a very talented group of technical support employees - Brilliant!!!

Hi Simon,

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed and thoughtful review.

The team really appreciates you sharing your experience.

It is great to hear that Callum was able to advise on a more robust solution and that Eve followed up so thoroughly to ensure everything was clear and working as expected.

Your feedback about the creative approach to reusing the old switch has been passed on to both Callum and Eve, and it is fantastic to know their knowledge and problem-solving made such a difference.

Thank you again for your kind words and for recognising the efforts of the technical support team.

Great company to work with

Completly different to most companies, support offered is excellent, humans answer the phone, and will actually follow up after an enquiry to ensure all is well. Highly recommend the products, though only wish they were not so expensive.

Further Experience with Lightwave

I love the Lightwave products, the personal touch is very welcome too. I like the fact that they appear to know me. Recent comms (from Dave Simmons) was around a further purchase , all very relevant and efficient. Previously I did have a marginal technical issue - this was resolved in super quick time!

Amazing service and knowledge as well as customer attention,

We are very new to lightwave, but our light wave contact Dave Simmons has been fantastic and his customer service is one if the best I have ever experienced.

Great advise from an expert in his field and I have no doubt that the back up we will receive once the application is installed will be just as good.
A true ambassador for the brand as well as being “normal” and understanding what the customer is looking for.
I have no hesitation in recommending David to any future customers and we are really looking forward to enhancing the system with Dave’s assistance.

These products are fantastic

These products are fantastic, high quality and the customer service is excellent. I spoke with Dave, who was so helpful in guiding me to the right choice and making the decision much easier, so I didn’t have to worry about making a mistake. They might be a bit on the expensive side, but so far, they are working really well.

IT was a very pleasant experience…

IT was a very pleasant experience dealing with Dave from Lightwaverf when placing my order for twin sockets. I have used Lightwaverf products for many years now and it became a little challenging to order products from outside the EU - involving customs charges. But Dave made this a very easy process and I appreciate the effort he went to deal with my order. I will certainly recommend Lightwaverf in future. Thanks again Tom Dempsey
