We bought several lights from this store and currently have them installed in our home. The staff was helpful and they were able to order whatever they did not have in stock. One light did not come in and they promptly refunded our money. We then found an alternative light in the showroom and bought it instead.

The 17-90 lighting shop is simply "the best lighting" store in mid-coast Maine! Our many experiences have always been a five-star experience with working with their team! Highly recommend for service, selection and always a smile!

Great selection, reasonable prices, family owned and really nice people. I went in a looked at their hundreds of lights to find a kitchen light, bathroom light and over dining table lighting. I found ones I LOVE- all within 30 minutes. One of the owners was there- she and her son were very helpful with no pressure sales and tips about wattage. My husband is really happy with my selections and says the lights are very good quality.
I happen to look up how much I spent compared to buying online- and it was actually a better deal to buy from 17-90 even with sales tax! We are thrilled. We highly recommend this shop. Also- apparently they will help wire things differently or fix fixtures as well!

17-90 is THE place to go for lighting. Dennis designed the lighting for our new home and it is spectacular. We have tons of light when want it and where we want it. We can also dim it down for more romantic effects. Plus, it is super efficient. We can light up our largest room (26' x 26') for less than a 100W light bulb. Amazing. So if you need one light or a whole house, go see the great people at 17-90 Lighting. You'll be glad you did.
