⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent customer service and great prices. I ordered 26 LED drivers as part of a complete upgrade from 20-year-old halogen spotlights to LED throughout our house. The prices were si... See more

Ordered 2 400w led dimmers, delivery was really quick, unfortunately the description was not correct on their website. It states 400w led dimmer but it actually only dims 120w. They emailed me saying... See more

Avoid by all means. They didn't want to return unused item a few days after purchase making excuse about not being able to test the gear, which was clearly unused. Beside, their pricing is way too h... See more

Good website descriptions of wide range

Easy to find and pick the recessed lights I was looking for and LED replacement bulbs. The delivey was faultless from tracking through late changes to timely delivery. Hence 5 stars.

Porch Light

Very pleased with the product, exactly what we were looking for. Really easy to fit, it took my husband about 5 minutes.
The only reason why I am giving only 4 stars, the postage was very expensive.

Thanks for the review. Regarding the postage: all online orders over £100 + VAT get a free delivery - now that's a good deal!

Fantastic service

I ordered an electrical transformer and some replacement light bulbs at lunch time.
The next morning it arrived at my house on the south coast.
Fantastic service, can't beat that, many thanks!

Great Supplier, Very Poor Delivery Company

Supplier processed and dispatched item very quickly. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for UK Mail who were responsible for delivering the item. Their Track and Trace (T&T) showed delivery on 22 Apr 15 but item delayed with no explanation. When questioned, response was contact seller despite their T&T showing item collected on 21 Apr 15 at 17:00. When questioned why do I have to contact seller, response was, "Unable to locate item, contact seller". After speaking to seller, he contacted UK Mail who stated item wasn't lost but on its way to me! Item arrived 24 Apr 15. In my opinion, UK Mail doesn't have the processes in place to accurately track parcels entrusted to them nor the ability to provide customers with satisfactory responses to delivery queries.

Dear Paul, thank you for your review. As per our email and phone conversation, we do our best to insure the items you order with us are sent ASAP, but we also depend on the courier company to deliver these as they are supposed to. We have taken this up with them, and we will make sure this will never happen again.

Great Customer Services

Customer service FIVE STARS. So helpful - and the products arrives very carefully packed. Very unhappy with the delivery company though. Waiting in all day. Emails ignored.

fast local service

Ordered lights and extractor fan. Lights out of stock but sparks direct emailed me immediately suggesting an alternative product. I emailed in reply and my order was delivered the next day. The difference in price was credited to my PayPal account same day. Great customer service.
