I wouldn’t recommend this company they have a very short returns period and the staff are rude. I am now stuck with a pair of curtains I don’t want. Looks like others have had a poor experience too.

About LightingCompany.co.uk LightingCompany.co.uk has been under new ownership since 18 June 2026, following the purchase of the website and trading assets by Blackstone Lighting Limited, part of the Mondial Group of Companies. The Mondial Group has been serving customers since 1985, with decades of experience supplying quality lighting products and delivering excellent customer service. Our goal is to restore LightingCompany.co.uk to the high standards of service and value that customers previously enjoyed. We understand that many customers were affected by the liquidation of the previous owner, HICKIN ELECTRICAL WHOLESALE LIMITED, on 20 April 2026. While we are a completely separate company and are unable to assist with orders placed before our acquisition, we sincerely sympathise with those impacted. Our focus is on rebuilding trust through honest advice, competitive prices, quality products, and outstanding customer service. If you were affected by the previous company's liquidation, please contact our team—we would be pleased to offer a 10% goodwill discount on a future order. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to earn your trust.

My experience is exactly like others here. Ordered 3 weeks ago Chased up after 2 weeks & was told they would be dispatched mid week this week but if never happened. Emails ignored & unable to make contact on phone. They’re Crooks.

I apologise we have had issues with our phone system which in turn did cause high volumes of emails our response times slipped. I apologise this caused you concern. I assure you we have been working hard to ensure communication improves. Thank you for the feedback.

Placed order two weeks ago

Placed order two weeks ago, have queried where item is and been given a dispatch date which didn't happen. still waiting. no reply to last email and cannot get hold of them on the phone. Not sure if this is a Bonafide company, very suspicious considering other reviews.

Do not use this company

Order no web75350. I definitely would not recommend this company. After paying £969 for my lights and being promised 3 times they would arrive on different dates and failed to do so, I asked for a full refund. This was agreed on 12 Aug by Lou and I was told it would take 10-14 working days. Again I have chased the refund and was promised it will be returned to me asap. Now 20 working days from the promise of my refund and still no sign of the money and emails unanswered when I chase this up!

Thoughtful and speedy!

I had never heard of the lighting company before using them for a house refurb so understandably was nervous, but I couldn't be happier!

They delivered in record time, helped me with payment issues over the phone, and when one of the glass elements was smashed, they delivered me replacements free of charge. I am so appreciative for their help and am currently looking for more lights from here!

Auful company

Auful company. Item received in flimsy box, badly packaged. When tried to return the returns policy was ridiculous. Eventually return agreed in the same packaging after going through hoops, arrived damaged by courier ( not fault of vault) but if the boxes they arrived in first place were suitable for the item then I wouldn’t be out of pocket by £228. Whole experience absolutely shambolic. Please avoid

Useless.

Useless.
Paid nearly a fortnight ago on July 29 and still haven’t had a dispatch note.
Called and emailed multiple times for an update, was given a dispatch date for this week which has again been missed with no explanation or update.
If you’re trying to redecorate or renovate and are relying on this company, expect to add at least a few weeks to your timescale.

Brilliant company

Excellent price compared to other retailers. Item arrived within 48 hours, was carefully packaged and the crystal chandelier looks beautiful. Amazing company, would highly recommend and will be buying from them again.

Excellent customer service

We recently bought a set of three globe pendant lamps from the Lighting Company. The lamps were delivered quickly and were packaged well.

Unfortunately, we broke one of the lamps during installation so we contacted them to see if they can help. They came back shortly and offered to replace the item even though we told them it was our fault. We were willing to pay for a replacement but they sent it to us free of charge as a sign of goodwill.

I’m just absolutely impressed by the speed of their response and the effort they put in providing excellent customer service. There was no hassle in dealing with them and they were very communicative and respectful throughout.

We still have a few unfinished rooms in our new house but I’m already looking forward to purchasing more lighting solutions from them to complete those rooms. They’ve just gained more loyal customers!

Great lights

Great lights, perfect for our room with a great ambient light. Fantastic communication when we ordered them as they were out of stock, we got an email notifying us, and also offered a refund or we could wait for them which we did, only a couple of weeks and received the order as soon as they were restocked with another email from the company to let us know they were on their way. Fantastic service and would highly recommend the lighting company
