After looking through the selections at the two big box stores, we wanted something better. We found the perfect light fixtures at University Lights. Great selection and excellent customer service. We were so impressed that we also selected a ceiling fan. The prices were reasonable, the quality was great, and the customer service was top shelf. We continue to be impressed and pleased with our selections and experience.

See that 'GLOBE light' behind the red chair. "Universal Lights" looked at this very old lamp post and said, "lets see what we can do". Jake spotted this wonderful glass globe in the back, and i knew this is what i wanted. I wondered if this could be done. Well they really exceeded what i thought they would do. All this was done in 3 days or so,and quite professionally.
They were as happy as i was with their engineering feat (but oh so simple and cool. I just love it. Many thanks. They are fun, professional and the price was fair. Thank you so much.

An exceptional business. Customer service is beyond amazing. They answer your questions, they don't hurry you, and they know what they're doing. And they do this while keeping their prices comparable to the big box stores. ( PS: I first went to University Lights 32 years ago when I got married, bought a house and renovated it with my wife. I've been going ever since. Thank you, University Lights.)

Kirk was awesome! This review is very overdue, but i was waiting until i had some better photos to post. We renovated our entire house and needed new lighting for most rooms including bathrooms, bedrooms, dining room, hallways and kitchen.
Kirk was very patient, not pushy and sat with us to look through many magazines and hundreds, if not thousands of light fixtures to make sure our selections were complementary.
He made the whole process painless and gave us better deals than anywhere we could find (I price check everything.)
They are a family run business- honest, local and hardworking. Couldn’t
