WOW! Exceptional, friendly and very helpful!

My experience with Lightwave was exceptional! I fitted my house with Lightwave products in 2016 and have they have worked well for 9 years. When I experienced a problem I called their tech support. I expected a long wait and a lack of enthusiasm since they had my money 10 years ago. But how wrong could I be! Phone was answered within 1 minute and three phone calls later the problem was resolved. 2 of the calls they called me! They were not going to give up until the problem was fixed. If all companies had support and service like Lightwave the world would be a better place. Big thanks to Jack and Eve spent over 2 hours on the phone and still called me back the next day! WOW. Thank you so much.

Lightwave products and customer support

We use Lightwave dimmer switches and sockets within an amazing extension we've created at our property. Our electrician originally set up our Lightwave products at the time, and since then we've had a few technical difficulties.

I contacted Lightwave and their technical support to look at these issues, and the customer service I experienced has been second-to-none. Today both Eve and Dylan helped remotely reset our products and did a fantastic job (even creating bespoke routines to easily lock the dimmer switches so we can clean them).

I cannot recommend Lightwave products and their excellent customer support highly enough!

Excellent technical department

Having purchased a unit last week I received a phone call from the Lightwave technical department. They wanted to know if I had been able to install the product and whether there was anything they could help with. I had a couple of questions and they were swiftly and completely answered. Well done Lightwave
