Really helpful staff shared advice and tips on wiring problem I had. Very much appreciated as I'm not an electrician.

Fantastic and friendly customer service from this great family run business. Made me a light switch to my specifications that was ready for collection the next day. We then purchased other stock items and received quick and efficient service on our visit. Also helping source an outside light. Would thoroughly recommend

Superb service at Optime Lighting. Took an old engineers desklamp in that wasnt working and had no base. Karl suggested various base designs. He completely rewired it and custom made a heavy steel base to match. Very happy with the final result and very reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

I needed an external junction box, and my first choice of shop didn't have any, but they suggested Optime Lighting and it was just the ticket! Had exactly what I needed and without any fuss. Great place to discover
