I am doing a massive 3,000 sq home project. I've bought numerous lights from many companies. This company have been an absolute delight so far to deal with. My lights get wonderful comments.

Poor Returns Policy

Order number: 200086806

Still waiting on a refund of £892.80 having initiated a return with them at the end of March (which did not get approved until 2 weeks later) and returned the items (brand new and unopened) 4 weeks ago (17th April). We have been calling weekly to find out when the refund will be issued but keep getting excuses. Still waiting for the refund as of today.... Although they have good products we unfortunately won't be using this company ago due to the terrible customer service and their slowness to process our return and reply to messages.

Hi Andrea, please accept out sincerest apologies for the delay that you experienced with your refund. Checking the records, we can see that the refund was processed on 20th May and our director reached out with a personal apology and some details around the situation. We're sorry that we fell below our own expectations here.

Order #200089938 I was recommended to order some lights by my client as I am an electrician and I was very impressed with the lighting and I would like to say the experience was good and I will recommend to my future clients too. Thank-You

Refused exchange and in end credit card company refunded me

Very poor customer service who are not interested in solving issues but taking your money and making all sorts of excuses on how it's my fault that the item is defective. I bought a chandelier for almost £1000, when installing it, one of the wires snapped in 2 different places (clearly the wire was weak and faulty). My electrician managed to solder it however the string could not be adjusted to the desired height as the solder was too thick to pass through a small hole. I contacted KES straight away who then offered to send a new wire for me to ask the electrician that i would have to pay for to put in a new wire. I explained that the light comes as one piece, the wires are encased in housing that is sealed in the factory and that I will not be asking my sparky to perform a task that he is nit qualified to do. I should receive a new light. KES then started to blame me for not checking the wires prior to install and that i had now voided the warranty. In essence they had no interest in exchanging for a new light. I contacted my credit card company who refunded me all of the money and did not pay KES as their initial reply to the credit card company did not answer the questions they asked and then they refused to answer the credit card company. This just highlights their attitude. KES will of course deny all this but the fact that the credit card company refused funds to KES says it all!

Hi Ahmed, that's certainly a version of events - but not necessarily all the detail is it?

The key piece of information that you've decided to leave out here is that once your electrician had damaged the light during installation (totally the fault of the electrician, it's worth mentioning), rather than getting in touch with us first to ask advice, your electrician decided to go ahead and carry out a botched repair job, which caused further issues with installation.

If you'd have spoken to us first before deciding to go ahead and carry out a poor repair job yourself, we may have been able to advise on an outcome that could have solved your issues.

As stated at the time, carrying out repairs on the fitting and then damaging it further means the warranty was voided - this is absolutely common practice with any goods (especially electrical).

Regarding the credit card company - please don't think that an extremely lucky decision regarding the chargeback is in some way a validation that you're in right, because you're not. Credit card companies, rightly or wrongly, will always favour a consumer in a chargeback. You have knowingly manipulated this in your favour after a substandard electrician ruined a perfectly good light fitting.

Long story short - back in 2023 you carried out unauthorised and poor quality repairs on a fitting that you broke your yourself, then you got upset that your warranty was invalidated so decided to have a last roll of the dice with getting your own way by putting chargeback request in to your card company. Inexplicably, this chargeback was granted.

You have also charged back the entire order and did not return the other fitting. When can we expect that back from you?

Lamp arrived in good time

Lamp arrived in good time. Orientation of the ceiling mounting bezel not exactly square and no way of altering it. Would be good to have been able to buy lamp bulbs to match the unit on the same site.

Hi there, we've just been looking into this - apologies for this mix up. The team have been instructed to collect the incorrect item and send you a version with two lampholders. We'll be in touch to arrange.
