I've done work with Greg and Premier Lighting for at least 10 years. They have helped me figure out lighting solutions on multiple buildings. The service was excellent, product delivered on time and as advertised.

Thanks to Ryan and the gang, our work space is so much brighter once the LED change-out was completed. Our employees love it! And the $$$ savings doesn't hurt either. They even worked hard to get us the rebates from the power companies to offset the cost. AWESOME!

We do not have an account with them. We have a sign on our front door saying no soliciting allow here. They came in anyway, gave us their card, walked into our private offices without permission and walked out without a word.
