Rather than buying new lights, I've been retrofitting dilapidated vintage lights into our cottage. One of the light mechanisms in an old factory pen lamp was screwed up more than I could decipher with a voltmeter. I brought the offending light to Berkeley Lighting, and they dove in and fixed the problem with only a little bit of digging through the spare bits of a hardware box. I am pleased beyond belief, and I know where I'll be going the next time I need to purchase lighting.

Wow. Loving this store, it's like walking through art gallery…read more Lunaria East opened just a few months ago. It's a family owned business and this is their second location in the bay area. Their other store is located in Marin. They specializing in unique, hard to find designer pieces for residential and commercial spaces. Now I have always had a thing for chandeliers, but the lighting here is next level and creates a statement piece for any room. Honestly I never thought about lighting in this way. Some of the pieces are like sculptures. I was a little intimidated at first, because I thought I couldn't afford anything in here but most of the pieces are pretty reasonable, and they have something in every price range. One of the owners said hello and when we asked about pieces, he walked us through the store and pointed out a few of his favorite designers. You can tell that they have a true passion for lighting and design. They carry over 150 designers from all over the world, and the curation here is impeccable. They also offer interior design services for home and lighting. After stopping by I'm seriously thinking if I should swap out my crystal chandeliers for of these signature art pieces. Truly transforms your space from basic to a work of art. Bravo Lunaria.

Sugi is the best! As…read morea high end residential remodeling designer, I have had the privilege to work with Sugi on many projects requiring the utmost attention to detail and he knocks it out of the park every time. He's incredibly skilled and always a pleasure to collaborate with during the design phase as well as on the jobsite. His pricing always comes in right on point, and he can be trusted to give you straight answers every time - no BS (a rare find in our industry). I would gladly refer any friend or family member to Kardon Electric, and he is the first call I would make for any electrical projects in my own home.

He came to install an outdoor outlet for my sprinkler system and noticed that another outdoor outlet had been installed incorrectly by a previous company. Without me even asking, he fixed it at no additional cost. What I appreciated most was the care they took in my home. They covered my furniture to protect it from dust and cleaned up thoroughly when the job was done. Professional, honest, and detail-oriented. I truly appreciate the extra effort and would definitely hire them again.

Francisco even repaired a damaged outlet, light switch and ceiling fan at no additional charge. He is trustworthy and communicative, and I will absolutely reach out to him again in the future.

I was surprised to be dismissed so quickly so I made the motion of looking around like I wanted to see some options. I gently pressed and he again stated "We can't help you." Then he told me to go to Bed Bath & Beyond. 1. I was there because I wanted to support a local business. I could have easily tried Lamps Plus first 2. Before you summarily dismiss a customer, maybe show her the globes you DO have and explain why they would or wouldn't work for her particular lamp 3. This is a 60-year-old lamp...I doubt Bed Bath and Beyond would have what I need So I went to Ensler Lighting in Berkeley and spent my $$ there instead. At first the guy at Ensler also wasn't certain he had what I needed, but guess what? He took the time to look around and experiment and ultimately he was able to jury-rig something that worked great. Imagine that?
