Coast Lighting is absolutely the most beautiful lighting store that we've come across in the Bay Area. It's difficult to buy lighting on a website or in a catalog. The store has an extensive display of beautiful lighting for all areas of your home. The customer service is fantastic and there are no pushy sales people. We were lucky enough to work with one of the owners Brittany and she guided us through all our purchases and was patient with us as well as being very fair on pricing. We highly recommend this store if you want to enhance the lighting in your home. read more

Was helped right away. Kyle was very patient. They have a fantastic selection of various lighting pieces and accessories. I was looking for a replacement shade. I will return here again. Beautiful items! read more

Story right out of pretty woman, the movie... Went to this store and inquired about a fixture. Took 2 weeks to get a response and the guy says "we have many people who do their whole house with us. I don't have the time for a small order" That 'small order' was about $7K. Ended up going to another store nearby. My total order was over 100K. read more

They have great selections and sales people were very knowledgeable. However, their pricing is on the high side. We were able to get some unique pieces from them but opt to pick out recessed lights and other common fixtures elsewhere. read more

My wife and I have been buying our home lighting fixtures from Greg at Coast Lighting for over 10 years. He and the team are just terrific. Their advice and diligence in getting us the best solutions in multiple environments means that when we now travel from the Mid-west back to Califonia and always buy at Coast Lighting. When we sold our home in Los Gatos the realtor said "Normally I ask clients to upgrade their light fixtures in order to sell the house for top dollar. In your case the lighting is amazing! Don't change anything." Credit to Greg. read more

This store is pure magic. if you love lights this is the place! Just to walk in the displays are amazing and you are greeted with smiles and friendly faces! Walk around you will light up! read more

Customer Service, competitive pricing, responsiveness and transparency are all pretty poor

Coast lighting was our 3rd stop in our quest for a mid century modern exterior light for our Eichler Home (more on that below). We have been here before and our experience kind of mirrors what we experienced before. Its a large store and had alot of staff around. The selection of high end lights was massive. That being said the customer service experience was odd. We were not greeted nor had any interaction or even a look as we milled about for the 15+ minutes we were in the store. Now don't get me wrong, I love a good greeting and introduction then leave us be. But this is the first place to really leave us be and it was a bit odd. Aside from that they had the best selection on display of the 4 stops we made today. Sometimes having a distinctive home is both a blessing and a curse. In our case we are lucky enough to own an Eichler. For those unfamiliar, Joseph Eichler was a developer (primarily in the SF Bay Area and LA) who between 1949 and 1966 built what is now termed Mid Century Modern or if you will "California Modern" tract homes. Taking cues from not only Frank Lloyd Wright, The Eames, et al, and the famous Case Study Homes they bought affordable high end architecture to the masses. All told over 11,000 of these homes were built. Given the distinct, love it or hate it style, changing stuff is difficult if you want it to look right. In this case with our recent (yes I did it all myself) exterior refresh we decided to correct a wrong with our exterior lighting and find something in character with the home. If you are interested in Eichler the "People in Glass Houses: The Legacy of Joseph Eichler" is a fantastic documentary read more

Good friendly people, very helpful and knowledgeable with my lighting needs. I will definitely recommend

Coast Lighting delivers top-tier quality and exceptional customer service. If you want style, durability, and real human help, this is the place. read more

I am an electrician And contractor which I recommend my customers to buy their lights at this place. They have people that they rather converse with their coworkers than help me. As I came to the counter the sales person had no knowledge as I asked for an item they rather pushed me away than provide a solution. I will not recommend this place anymore. I will go back to Bayshore lighting instead Need to train people very poor customer service not even attempted to help. read more

Emann was so kind! I asked questions on and off for two hours, and they were very patient. They happily looked up wattages, colors, and even shipping times for me. Good advice too on how to match colors/styles across a few light fixtures I was considering. Thank you! Completely unrelated: It would be sooo helpful if this store had at least one night a month that was open until 7pm or later on a weekday (or anytime during the weekend) -- I've been wanting to come here for months but could never make it during work hours. There are plenty of customers with fulltime jobs interested in doing their own design, who don't have interior designers shopping for them -- please help! read more

I had a major remodeling project which took about a year. I bought all my lighting fixtures and switches from Coast lighting. Greg, the owner, is very knowledgeable, helpful and flexible in doing business. Their store staff are professional, especially Emann who was very responsive and helpful .Their warehouse staff are pleasant and cooperative, especially Litto who is very friendly and knows where everything is. I will do business with them again and strongly recommend them. read more

Emann is a wonderful lighting expert and I'm thankful to have met her. First time visiting Coast Lighting I had a small budget bathroom project. Knowing Coast Lighting as a pricier lighting dealer, Emann didn't pressuring me towards the higher end spending. Instead she took the time to explain the pros and cons of the selections and assure I'm getting what I needed. Retuned a second time few days ago looking for light bulbs, again she researched thoroughly making sure I'm getting the right bulb. The two bulbs I bought was only a $30 sale. I'm impressed of her thoroughness regardless the amount was spending! read more

They had zero customer service. We went in to look for pendant lighting and after about 20 minutes, zero reception or acknowledgment of our presence. No greeting whatsoever. I don't know how places like these still exists. read more

Nice fixtures BUT beware no refunds even if unopened box. Restocking fees and mailing fees will be incurred even though order took over 6 weeks which was no fault on our part. No customer service after sale was made. There are too many other options out there for lighting- save yourself arrogation and don't make the mistake we did - stay away. read more

I would give Coast Lighting 10 stars if I could. Greg and Brittney are fantastic at what they do, helpful and incredibly fast. From a contractor's perspective - Coast will quickly help with the lighting material needed for a job and happily schedule to meet with your clients to help with any lighting questions they may have. It's always nice to physically go into a showroom to show clients what their home will look like with certain lighting. Everyone in the store is polite, helpful, knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around. Thank you Greg and Brittney for providing a one-stop shop for both contractors, designers and customers! read more

Amazing options here. Best lighting store in the Bay Area by far. We ordered a couple of chandeliers and they were custom ordered so it took a few months so make sure to shop early for these. Lighting is so important & one of the first things people comment on when seeing the space. Lots of compliments on our lighting. Lisa is wonderful and very very helpful. Highly recommend them. read more

Terrible customer service. Salespeople are very slow to respond. The ladies at the front are worse. Completely unfriendly, unhelpful and nasty. I'm not sure what their purpose is, but it is NOT customer service. They have a lot to look at, take some pics and buy online. read more

Sonia and the sales there and their sales staff, were dedicated to ensuring that we found exactly the right lighting for our remodel .She Has a lot of experience and very good taste. read more

Since we're sheltering in place & spending a lot of time at home, we ended up doing a mini remodel where we changed out all of our chandeliers, pendants, and recessed lighting. I came here based on a recommendation from my interior designer and I wasn't disappointed. I worked with Sonia where she patiently showed me what my options were and what might work well in the high ceilings that I have over the dining room and stairwell. I was really impressed with her knowledge of lights and made sure that each light we picked was appropriate for the space. My dining room light also had to be rewired and extended in order to fit the space. And Coast Lighting had folks who can do this work. All the lights had to be ordered and they keep in touch with you to make sure you're aware if the lights will be delayed. On the delivery of the lights, Lito was on time, courteous, and every light was clearly marked for which room along with all the light bulbs to avoid any confusion and mix up. Very happy I found this place; never thought I'd be so happy just by buying lights and chandeliers! read more

I had such a great experience at coast lighting. The store is absolutely gorgeous and the staff is smiling from the moment you walk in the door. Their lighting selection makes me want to go crazy because I want everything that I see! Brittany and Greg helped me with a specific chandelier that I wanted. The one I had my eye on was displayed right up front. I described what I was looking for and Brittany walked around the store with me to show me alternative options just in case I liked something better. I even got a chance to look at some bathroom lighting! The transaction was easy and painless and so was the installation. I will definitely be going back to this store for the lighting I want in the rest of my house! I highly recommend this store -- you won't be disappointed! read more

Horrible experience, no service at all. The sales employee was not on time when we had zoom meetings, was grumpy and had no helpful advice. As we build a new house, this is not a small number of lights, switches and outlets. We will definitively not recommend! read more

I went in to see what I could do with some old incandescent recessed lights that I had. Spoke to Brittany who showed me some options with different brands, I went with her suggestion and couldn't be happier. Once we do our remodel I will be back. read more

I was there this afternoon with a family member and we received such shockingly horrible customer service, that even though we picked out a lantern to be affixed to an outside post, we left before making the purchase. We spent an hour there and after being virtually ignored by a tall blonde man, we were finally approached by a Russian man called "Al," who promised to offer "quick help." He was half-right. "Al," was very difficult to comprehend and had very little knowledge. We looked through a catalogue and found the lighting fixture we were going to purchase, but "Al," continually left us for another customer who had just walked in. We waited and waited until he finally came back to us, but he only came back to inform us he needed to finish with the other customer who had just arrived, even though we were all ready to make the purchase. We waited 15 minutes, but after he failed to return to us, we left. I stared him down as we left, but he failed to acknowledge our presence even though he'd just cost his company a purchase for what would have been around $400. Never again. read more

My husband and I are currently doing a house rebuild, and we needed to shop for every light in our home, including pendants, wall sconces, exterior lights, flood lights, and under the counter tapes. Prior to visiting Coast Lighting, we visited 5 other stores all over the Bay Area, and we were unsure if Coast Lighting would deliver the lights we were looking for at the price that was within our budget. So with that said, if I can give this place more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. When we walked in, I couldn't believe how large this store was. They had so many amazing lights from dozens of vendors, and they even carried lights I was only able to see in catalogues at other stores. Just by casually browsing, you would think they only carried high-end lights, but they had everything, even for us shoppers with a budget in mind. We picked out most of our items that looked amazing, and high-end, but completely within our budget. Lastly, Brittany was our light specialist, and the amount of knowledge she had was incredible, and once we told her our design vision for our house, she knew exactly which line of lights we should be looking at. We left the store last week feeling very accomplished and a large weight had been lifted off of our shoulders. I highly recommend anyone in need of lights to visit Coast Lighting. read more

I have been ordering lights from Coast Lighting for some time now but never managed to step into the store but I'm glad I did. Had a issue with a step light and an amazing lighting associate by the name of Lisa helped me out. She got on the phone with the manufacturer and got a replacement ordered for me in minutes. She was kind, professional, and very understanding. Thank you so much Lisa! I hope Coast Lighting knows how lucky they are to have you. read more

Coast Lighting provided us with great customer service, in spite of many of the specialists working from home during this Coronavirus of 2020. They helped us select 3 modern ceiling lights for our 3 bedrooms. Then they sent their installation specialist , Juan Carlos Dominguez to perform the 3 installations. JC prepared all his materials, laid down a tarp in each room, climbed a ladder, removed the old light fixture carefully, installed each new one, tested each, and cleaned up everything. Well done! Later, we realized one connection was not working properly. Coast Lighting sent Juan Carlos back to us within one day later. He checked everything out, corrected everything, and now our beautiful new lights work perfectly. Thank you to Manager, Greg Belyavski and your team at Coast Lighting, for your terrific advice, and especially for your excellent after-sale customer service. We are very pleased with the final results. read more

Sorry to report that after spending several thousand dollars on lights and lighting system materials at Coast Lighting, when I needed help on a defective product I got ghosted.... no help, no promised follow up. I got lots of attention when I was buying, but once the sale was made, no interest in finding a solution to my problem. read more

Went in today and three people working there weren't wearing masks, including one who had a hacking cough. We left immediately and went elsewhere. read more

I met with the store manager, Deanna, today at the construction site of our 6300 square foot home. We have tens of thousands of dollars worth of lighting to purchase for the house. It was a pleasant meeting and I felt pretty good about the visit until Deanna turned to the business of collecting her $100 consultation fee. I expected this fee but was told that the fee would be applied toward ANY purchase from her store. However, after recording my credit card information on her notepad, she informed me that the $100 fee couldn't be applied against the purchase of the $300 chandelier we were interested in. She said only "about $40" could go towards that fixture. All I could do was stare at her and blink in amazement. Really? With many THOUSANDS of potential dollars at stake, you're going to squeeze a serious customer for sixty bucks? I have no confidence that this store is serious about customer service. It was worth $100 to learn that we DON'T want to waste our time doing business with this company. read more

I'm obsessed over DWR's Cellula chandelier but unfortunately it would not work in our space because I wanted to put it above the kitchen island and it is the same length as the island. Visually...having the bar chandelier the same size as the island isn't ideal. So I've been looking for a shorter alternative for a long time. James R. Moder makes one but I don't like the look and shape of their crystals. It seemed like it was my only alternative however and I was very close to buying it at lampsplus. Fortunately, I decided to check out Coast first before pulling the trigger on the James R. Moder version. They had another version by Elegant Designs that is 40 inches long (perfect size). The price and customer service was wonderful too. I arrived only 30 minutes before closing but Neil was very patient and helpful. He even took the time to show me different colored bulbs on the bigger floor model so that I can get an idea of what bulbs I want. I went with whiter since it makes the crystals look more sparkly. This place is a find! read more

Coast Lighting is a great store - I am not sure what the deal is with the bad reviews. They have good, competitive pricing, a giant selection (a small library of catalogues), and most important of all: great customer service. Everyone is friendly and willing to help. We spent 5 hours there picking out lighting for all parts of our house, and Alex, the owner, was with us the whole way. Everything arrived fairly quickly, and Alex did not try to sell us on a quick delivery of goods if it wasn't happening :). We had a small part break at home and Alex replaced it free of charge, no questions asked. When the new part arrived it was not 100% ready for use, so Greg fixed it for us right on the spot. Overall this is a five star spot for all your lighting needs. read more

Customer Service is underwhelming. They are quick to invite you, sell and take your credit card. Then it stops there! They have a salesperson who is relatively new and very frustrating to deal with. You're probably better buying things online. Their store however, have a ton to look at! read more

Service was non-existent. Regardless, the selection was not amazing either. Designs were similar to IKEA with showroom prices. Basic lamps for 1k? I don't know who would pay that much. We came here for pendant lights and didn't see anything we liked. Many displays had been pulled out of the wall and had not been replaced so it's unfortunate since I would have liked to see some of the non-lit lights in the displays on the walls. A plus for this location is that there is what appears to be complete price transparency. I appreciate that they have price tags on all the items here so you don't have to ask. read more

Working with coast was great - price was right and the service was excellent. Can not say enough good things - fixture ordered delivered and installed in 10 days - Thank you read more

I read a lot of reviews that complain about the inattentive sales staff at Coast Lighting. I understand what they are miffed about...they do seem to be understaffed and its hard to get the attention of the sales guy. BUT once the sales guy (Albert) got my attention, he was very knowledgeable and stuck with me through a number of inquiries. We were there for over an hour, and walked out with a solid quote. I followed up with further questions by email, and he promptly responded. I'm sure that the people who were wandering around waiting for a salesman were unhappy, but at least I was happy. Haha. Have patience, people! (or get there early like I did). read more

I order a light fixture in the store. I've asked sales person to ship it at my address, they told me they can't do that because often things break in shipping. When I picked up the fixture in the sore (3 weeks after I've ordered it ), I received unopened package - they didn't bother to check . The fixture was plastic, not glass as I was told (I paid $250 for it). They refused to refund the money. They gave me store credit. I will never buy anything at that store again. read more

We are so happy that we found this store and the team at the store is great! They worked with us, helping to chose proper fixtures. When I was in doubt, they offered me to take couple of fixtures home to try them on and make a decision, offering full refund on products, that don't feet. Greg was very helpful with my project and was able to find some fixtures and get prices after I showed photos, found in internet. read more

I'm an interior designer and I have been working with Coast lighting for a while now. Their showroom is one of the best in the Bay Area. They have an amazing number of lights on display and they are great to work with. I recommend making an appointment as, despite the number of salespeople on the floor, they are always pretty busy and you will have to wait a bit to get help. But once you work with them, you get their full attention. Great customer service as well for deliveries and if there is a problem. read more
