University Lights

I took my lamp in to have repaired. Emily was very helpful. She came to the door to help me in and out. Jake did a great job in repairing my lamp. He didn't charge me a arm and a leg either. Just $20.00 and I am back in the saddle again. Many thanks to the staff. I appreciate you.

Great prices and selection's. Go and brows and of your interested make an appointment so you don't make any mistakes. Love the wood grain on this fan.

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.

Outstanding service! Kirk guided us through fixture selection, track lighting design, and several rounds of trying out new light bulbs. Through every step, he was friendly, helpful and patient. He made the whole process much easier than it could have been. We highly recommend working with Kirk at University Lights.

Kirk and the team at University Lights were AMAZING to work with. I own a local brewery, and we've been struggling for years with the negative effect our lighting had on our ambience. We showed up at University Lights with a very vague idea of how we wanted the feeling of our space to change and a very modest budget with which to accomplish it. Kirk jumped right on the project, and even came out to our taproom several times to consult.

He helped us find the best valued products to get the job done and was very thoughtful about each piece. It's very hard to capture in photos just how much better our space feels with our new lights installed, but I can't say enough good things about it. It has improved the feel of the space dramatically, especially after dark. It was well worth the (modest) investment, and I know for a fact that the University Lights team saved us thousands of dollars as compared to hiring a designer and ordering through a larger retailer. My brewery is called The Glass Jug, and they did our location on Hwy 55 in Durham, if you want to see an example of their work in person.

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 recommend them more! (have both before and after photos below)

We used University Lights to supply all our lighting and fan needs for the new home we just completed. The service was great! Our sales person, Kirk, was super helpful. The prices were great. Forget the junk you find at the big box stores! I strongly recommend University Lights.

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR! I will admit that I typically only give a review when I'm unhappy with a product or service. In this case, I felt a need to go online to brag about University Lights and give them the recognition they so rightly deserve! My husband is an architect and needless to say when it came to lighting, we had numerous resources available to us online. However, I'm a visual person and University Lights has a great showroom of traditional AND contemporary lighting (which is what we wanted).

They also had catalogs of every brand on the market at your fingertips. They spent HOURS with me to help me pick out every light and fan for our house! Not only did they match my prices but when we had a couple of issues with the product, they contacted the manufacturers and made everything right on my behalf. They treated me like family every time I walked in and their product knowledge was critical.

I would have made NUMEROUS mistakes ordering these lights online and would never have known what was available to me without their guidance. We built a new home and filled the entire house with lights from University Lights! Their attention to detail and customer commitment is a breath of fresh air! They are local and they are awesome! I will never go anywhere else for lighting issues in the future.

Great experience with Kirk and Jay. Love our new lights and fans. Really appreciated how much they stood by their products and us during the whole process.
