Superlative products and customer service!

The service from The Vintage Light Bulb Company was outstanding…..somewhat of a rarity these days!

I order some vintage style wire, which looked beautiful by the way, but it turned out that the light shades already came with the wire, so had to return the item.

A few days later a full refund was provided.

Emma from The Vintage Light Bulb Company sent an email to say that the refund was being processed.

Great products and great communication….WELL DONE The Vintage Light Bulb Company!!

The Vintage Light Bulb Company

The Vintage Light Bulb Company. What a Company. The absolute best service ever experienced by me, in any retail environment in any country. Utterly outstanding in all regards. Availability to help, the immediacy of service, the light bulbs themselves, and (my colleagues commented too) the care in packaging to ensure a light bulb with it's inherent fragility arrived in superb shape. If I had a company of my own I would want it to try and reach this bar. Superb and thank you.

Love my new Pendant light

Love my new Pendant light. I was really struggling to find a rattan shade and pendant that I liked. But the one I ordered from this company was perfect. Also loved how I could order a bulb paired with the shade. As I wouldn't have thought of ordering a globe bulb. But it looks great :) Also love that I could have swapped the cord design if I'd wanted.

Affordable Quality Alternative Pendants

We are renovating a Victorian / Edwardian farmhouse. Pendant light fittings that I like and are affordable are few and far between - so rather than end up making a rush decision on something we didn't like, decided to get porcelain and brass fittings from Vintage Light Bulb Company, with coloured flex and statement lightbulbs. Much more affordable, things we actually want rather than just making do, and they look great - individual, in keeping with the style of the house, whilst also being fun (have got bright orange, bright blue, yellow etc flexes).
The quality of the fittings looks good. All round very happy.

Quality products and great service!

Excellent service and high quality pendants. From advice on suitably sized pendants to deciding the length and colour of the cable and then the wonderful packaging to ensure everything arrived in mint condition, I couldn't recommend the Vintage Light Bulb Company enough. I just can't wait to see the pendants in situ in our new build. They look perfect!

Excellent customer service

Beautiful items and they arrived quickly. The customer service was excellent when I had an issue with a bulb a few months after purchase. They were very helpful and sent a replacement immediately.

Great service, fabulous lights

Emma at vintage light co was very quick to respond to my questions and once I placed my order she kept me informed straight away when there was a minor problem, which she resolved quickly. The lights themselves are fabulous - tasteful, slightly industrial and good quality. Perfect.
