Bought the lights at the beginning of the first lockdown. They are now firmly in place at last on the ceiling. Picture below. Excellent service from Scotlight from the start. The shades were superbly packaged and delivery spot on. First class service and brilliant product. We would highly recommended buying from Scotlight.

Report
Fantastic customer service from Scotlight. I've just bought lamps, a pendant light and mirror and am delighted with the service. James advised there was a delay with one of the items but made sure it was delivered to me as soon as it was back in stock. He also suggested alternatives to other discontinued items. Great service, great prices!
