Extremely efficient delivery and returns service - unfortunately the quality of the lights was very poor and not worth the money they cost.

Placed an order on the 19th Dec and received an email shortly after saying the item was in stock so I was hoping to install before NYE as next day delivery was offered. Offices qwre closed between Christmas and new year so chased for an update on the 3rd Jan and was told it would be dispatched on the 10th. No reasons given for the delay and no response to my email when I asked why a stock item was taking so long to deliver.

Expensive to return. The photo is deceptive - it's much bigger than it looks so check dimensions. I've had to return it. This cost £6.50. Many other retailers have free returns - especially those that only sell online. So I will not use Lighting Direct again unless they change this and offer free returns.

Ordered a string of Festoon outdoor lighting Order promptly dispatched and delivered in good condition. Didn`t like the fact that overnight the price was reduced 40% and unable to supply festoon bulbs to fit with no idea when they would be in stock again. Overall disapointed

Ordered nearly 2 weeks ago and still hasn’t even been dispatched. When I emailed to ask what was going on they replied saying they are planning on dispatching the items 7 days later. What sort of nonsense is that, not dispatching an order for close to 3 weeks. Website and range of lights is good, so I think they deserve 2 stars but I also think I’m being generous at that.

At first, I was delighted with my purchases of 2 lamps. Two months on, the base of one is changing colour. I have contacted Customer Services to see if this is normal and have not heard back from them. So I’m afraid I have been left feeling very disappointed.

Whilst the quality of the product is great and item was well packaged and arrived promptly I’m really disappointed as they are black. The website description and picture is anthracite grey which is what I thought I had ordered

Didn't expect a continental plug - we checked every detail we could before ordering as we needed a light we could plug in but nowhere did it say it wasn't a UK plug.

Thank you for getting in touch. As advise the dimmer switch required for use with these bulbs is an LED Compatible Dimmer Switch and we do advise this in various places on the website. We were happy to send out a replacement bulb as a gesture of goodwill. The Customer Care Team

Completely not your error but the delivery company you use is useless. My item has been sent to a different address and delivery driver is unable to get hold of where he’s put the item and the customer service is not helpful at all. Unfortunately don’t have my item I ordered.

Not a bad site to order from- took a while to send the delivery out and was let down a second time by the delivery company. booked the job in for what I was told delivery would be - not turned up -tried to deliver elsewhere and waited two more days to receive ! messed my working week up. Next time I will order from here a couple of weeks in advance - maybe lighting direct should select a different courior service

Light arrived broken so I had to return it. Then I had no idea whether a replacement would automatically be sent so had to send a follow up email to ask. Turned out a replacement hadn't been sent after all.

Thank you for getting in touch. We had not initially received instructions from you as to how you wish the matter to be resolved hence the delay. Apologies if any confusion was caused. The Customer Care Team

We ordered a bronze picture light in hope that it would match the bronze picture frame it was to shine above. The said light arrived it was not bronze despite all the paperwork saying so but gold which the label on the box confirmed. After querying this with the company I was told that despite ordering bronze and receiving gold the item was correct as per the manufactures reference number, they are checking their marketing description. The light itself is fine but the colour way out from what I thought I was to receive.

The touch light I ordered didn’t make sense and can’t get it to work. It has 2 prongs and a separate plug which don’t seem compatible.

Very disappointed that you have no idea how hard it is living in rural areas. Charging highlands and island rates in Aberdeenshire ! . I also don’t think you should charge extra anywhere in the Uk. I bet you don’t change extra for Cornwall

Thank you for getting in touch. The carriers denote charges based on certain postcodes unfortunately and these are then subsidised by Lighting Direct. We do our very best to keep charges to a minimum and have not increased our delivery costs despite the significant fuel price rises. The Customer Care Team

Lamp arrived promptly and was exactly what I wanted, however, 2 screws missing and only half the LED filament working. Return processed fairly easily and is being collected promptly. Assuming refund follows as swiftly I may try again.
