City Lights' new showroom at 707 Bayshore Blvd. is more conveniently located and almost twice the size of our old space. The new, two-storied space has 27,000 square feet and an attached warehouse to display all your favorite lighting fixtures.
This is THE place to get your lighting fixtures! Not only do they carry the best and most abundant selection of items, they have the friendliest and most knowledgeable staff. Tina was our consultant whom was informative and very helpful in choosing the most fitting fixtures for our place. Their customer service team is quick to reply to emails as well. We’ll definitely come back and recommend to our friends!
I ordered 3 pendant lights from City Lights. The customer service I received was above and beyond and the lights are beautiful. I would definitely order from them again and I highly recommend them.
Impeccable Experience from Start to Finish!
The array of lighting products available at City Lights is truly illuminating (hehe)! I recently purchased bathroom lighting and am astounded by the quality of the product. The website is user-friendly and navigating through it was a breeze. Exceptional customer service guided me to make the perfect choice! Highly recommended!
So, first of all - the lighting showroom is amazing! I've not been to the 'new' location before, but now I'm obsessed. Many great brands!
Secondly - I came in to look for a special part for another light and Rick was extremely helpful. Altho he informed me they don't carry that part, he was able to fix the one I brought with me while I waited. Very friendly and helpful. I'll be back!
Purchased track lighting on line from City Lights SF. They supplied 2 replacement heads speedily while working with me to troubleshoot an installation issue with these lights. Highly recommended.
Wonderful! Incredible variety and great customer service! I must have met with John W at least 3 times before I made a decision. He was very patient with my indecisiveness and never, ever pushy - and a really helpful consultant. I’ve made two purchases -plus one return - and everything smoothly. He is now my “go to” person for lighting and I would highly recommend both him and the store.
Amazing experience working with Sean, he is responsive, friendly and a pleasure to talk too! I look forward to working together in the future
I recently checked out their new location and was pretty impressed. It's way roomier than before and they've got such a huge variety! Whether you're hunting for fancy decorative lights or just basic bulbs, this place has it. Took a stroll through and there's so much to see, especially with those fixtures all over the showroom floor.
This place is great for all your decorative lighting needs, bulbs, lots of other items. The new location is big and lots to see with lighting fixtures in the showroom floor
They know their stuff and back it up with excellent customer service.
