James Lighting

I have to start off by saying I maybe be bias with James Lighting because my dad is an architect who loves this place. I too like their selection of unique, vintage, mod and sometimes timeless pieces. We have a pendant that shattered in our kitchen, somewhat a mysterious situation, which needed a new glass portion. I have cobalt blue but fell for a couple of spun gold with splotches of a deep caramel machiatto.

I'd much rather support local merchants than saving 5 bucks by going to Home Depot where no one can help you.

I am so glad I went to the store today. I guess I got there too early on Saturday, so it was closed. I was worried for the phone just had a busy signal.  I had left a cat lamp, which means a lot to me, to be repaired over 2 weeks ago. Leah was there and reassured me that all was well.  Apparently, the phones are not working. Thank you, Leah. Will get two more stars when my lamp is repaired!  V Johnson

Awful place. Dating back to the 80's! Over stocked w/useless stuff. Out-of-date things & hoard fully terrible! Won't go back! Do NOT recommend this store to anyone. Overpriced too! Just plain bad!

They get 1 because there isn't an option for negative stars. Avoid this place like the plague. You've been warned. If you've read this and still decide to attempt to do business with them, you deserve what you get. Before you spend any money with these people try to get in touch with them by phone. I dare you. When they've got your money but refuse to produce what you've purchased prepare to be given a list of excuses as long as a Michener novel, including the often used we were busy. They aren't busy, they're just awful. They should be forced out of business, which will eventually happen due to them not paying their taxes or their vendors. Hopefully they will be closed permanently very soon so they can no longer prey on unsuspecting customers. I don't believe they intended to be this awful, I just believe they are grossly incompetent.

What once was a good business--is no more. They have had my lamps to repair for more than two weeks. I had to call them to inquire. They are still sitting in the back room not repaired. The store is totally unkept with clutter everywhere. I'm picking my lamps up on Monday not repaired!

Dropped off two floor lamps for repair - after 2 years these folks declined to follow through with making the repairs.  During the 2-year process they made several excuses telling me that parts were backordered, etc.  When I called to ask if they intended to repair the lamps or should I pick them up the saleswoman said you can pick them up and hung up the phone.  I did pick the lamps up and took them to Andrews Lighting Gallery; within 3 days the lamps were repaired and for less than $70 total!  

I'll add that the lamp selection at James Lighting is a bit dated.  If you're looking for polished brass and really really really bad customer service they're your folks.  Otherwise, may I recommend Andrews Lighting Gallery.

If you are looking at big box stores for lighting, you must visit James Lighting at the corner of 16th and Meridian in OKC first! While they can order anything you want, they have an enormous variety in stock. We built our home and got all of our lights from them and 12 years later when a glass bowl on our entry light broke they had it in stock! Amazing! The fans we bought there are powerful and still quiet! Just stop by to browse and you will have a very hard time leaving without anew light! And a wonderful group of folks! I truly miss Mr James but but his wife and daughter and the rest of the crew are just great! The selection will astonish you!
