Fantasy Lighting - Parking is very easy and metered! - Lighting Fixtures & Equipment Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My first visit , I dropped off my chandelier frame to be rewired, had a great conversation with Jaime about what I wanted, he let me know I may not need to completely rewire my fixture, he told me he would do what needs to be done, when I asked for the entire fixture to be rewired. He explained there may be no reason to waste money, he would ensure the fixture is safe and fully functional! What honest service from the gate, he even gave me some additional tips since I am entering the real estate market soon, tips I already knew but what if I wasn't aware, I thanked him for taking the time and sharing the pearls of wisdom he had learned, many of us don't engage in the niceties of small talk anymore, I really appreciated my encounter and am looking forward to picking up my fixture and having it installed in what will be my next home. read more

So amazing and helpful. The owner was able to accommodate all of my ridiculous requests and didn't fight me on a single one of them. So kind and great work. read more

I like going to someone who knows what they are doing and appreciates vintage lighting. Worth every penny to me.

This was a great experience. I needed to convert a vintage hanging ceiling lamp to a table lamp. He came up with a simple, very cool design solution that maintains the feeling of the original lamp. Exactly what I wanted. I love it! read more

honest and simple, that's how I would call this gentleman. Kind and willing to listen to your lighting issues and recommend appropriate solution! read more

I brought in a pendant light for rewiring that I planned to use for my nursery. It's a vintage light I ordered from Germany. The owner took one look at it and said there was no need for a rewrite, just a new bulb. He even took the time to hook up the wires and show me it was in perfect working order. I appreciate this honesty from a small business. Happy to come back and support in the future. I even offered to pay something for his time and expertise but he kindly turned it down. 5 stars! read more

It's a small shop, but the guy there's knows his stuff. He can wire/fix/amend the usual and the unusual. He's obviously been doing this for a long time. Any lighting repairs you will ever need he's the man to do it. read more

Been utilizing services here for nearly two decades. Jaime is old school in a wonderfully brilliant way. Most recently had him repair a vintage Murano lamp for a client, and he not only upgraded the shade from bell shaped to drum shaped, he dismantled the lamp and refinished the entire base. The work here is impeccable and a dying art. As a designer, I am so grateful to have the services available. Would highly recommend! read more

Jaime (now leading Fantasy Lighting) fixed my vintage lamps which originally had ugly brown broken wiring; he replaced the old wiring with clear (invisible) wiring and even added extra length and new plugs--I asked to keep the antique candlestick holder parts but he put all new workings inside so the lamps would be safe! This is the best place to fix your vintage lamp or light fixture-- Jaime is very skilled, patient and humble and works diligently without the high price of LAH (Liz's Antique Hardware). read more

Fantasy Lighting - New clear wiring! - Lighting Fixtures & Equipment Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We all have stores and restaurants in Los Angeles where each time we exit, we ask ourselves "Why did I give this place another opportunity to put me in a bad mood?" At Fantasy Lighting, the owner is consistently unhelpful and famously snarky. He is openly unhappy at all times, as if he's been sentenced by fate to a miserable life. Lamps are not brain surgery. In fact they are the exact opposite. They are a happy excuse to liven up a living space. So why does this guy make Fantasy Lighting feel more like a trip to a dentist for a root canal? This store should be renamed Bad Mood Lighting. read more

I recently needed an old lamp from the 1950s rewired and had these guys do it. I liked that I was able to pick the color and style of wiring, so was able to match the lamp a bit. They did a great job and the lamp works perfectly. Its nice to know there is a place in mid city that does this. I am currently on the hunt for another lamp for my house and will have them rewire it. One thing I have learned about old lamps is that it is best to have them rewired to make them safer and more efficient. These guys also custom make lamps, shades and lighting. read more

The owner Lost the fabric that I bought to make a lamp shade. They didn't call me to let me know that the shade the I ordered wasn't ready the day it was supposed to be picked up, also they didn't tell me that they lost the fabric. Also they ask me to pay 212 for the job, without providing any discounts read more

This place is an absolute con job. He charged us $400 for a job that had to be entirely redone. Go anywhere else. Cannot put into words how frustrating and demoralizing this experience was. Fantasy Lighting completely took advantage of us. read more

Marc the owner is nice. Great place for custom shades and in stock light fixtures for when you're on a tight deadline. New store within the store called the Buster Store. Men's work wear and awesome Filson bags. Check it out! read more

I dropped off two lampshades in early February (2/6/17) that had been damaged while moving a few weeks earlier. I spoke to Mark (the owner) and he said they could use the original assembly/frame and simply replace the exterior black silk lining of the lampshade and the silver interior lining in order to make it look new again - at a cost of over $350 (for two lampshades). I was told the items would be completed within two weeks. (Sidenote: The two lamps together cost around $500; but as they were a gift from my mother, I was willing to pay nearly 75% of the cost of the lamps to have the shades repaired.) As I was busy settling into my new place, I let a month go by without following up on the lampshades during which time, I did not hear a single word from Fantasy Lighting as to the status of the lampshades. Finally, I decided more than enough time had passed and called to see what was going on. I spoke to Mark on the phone and was told that they would be completed that day (Saturday) and he would call me back when they were ready to go. He called me back about an hour later and said that they were out of the black silk that was needed to complete my order for several weeks now and blamed the woman who makes the lampshades for not telling him that black silk was needed and promised they would be done on Monday.. I waited and heard nothing from Mark or anyone at Fantasy Lighting on Monday. I called on Tuesday (obviously upset) and asked again what the status of the lampshades was. (Note that I had now waited 5 weeks for two lampshades to be repaired - after being quoted 2 weeks and ZERO lack of communication as to the delay until I called them). He sounded irritated and said he would be going to a retail store to buy black silk as apparently his supplier was out as well (doubtful, but this is what I was told). He finally called me towards the end of the day and told me that they were finally ready to go. I went to the store the following day (Wednesday) to pickup the lampshades. I asked to speak with Mark so we could discuss the lack of communication and why it took nearly 3 times as long to complete my order as he had quoted me over a month earlier. He proceeded to (again) blame it on everyone except himself (the owner!) and took zero responsibility for the issues I had encountered. (Ex: His employee never told them they were out of black silk, his supplier was out of black silk, he wasn't aware nobody had contacted me with a status update, these were a lot of work blah blah blah - all excuses). I asked for a simple 10% discount (roughly $30) due to the delay and lack of communication and was instantly shot down with his reasoning being "we don't do discounts"... Then, in the same breathe, he said that "perhaps on my next visit he would consider offering me a discount"... I laughed out loud and said "based on this experience, there is NO WAY I'm coming back here!!" - I'm sure anyone reading this would agree. To top it all off (prior to him swiping my card for final payment) I told him that I would be posting a one-star negative review on yelp with regards to the issues I had with him (hoping he would change his mind and perhaps offer the small 10% discount I requested) and he essentially told me that he didn't really care. He was aware of his multiple negative reviews his store has on yelp already and simply didn't care that people were writing negative things about him and his store. His attitude was as if running this store was an absolute burden to him and he simply could care less about what people thought about his store. He even said "we have tons of celebrity clients who come here, so clearly we are doing something right"... well, I'd certainly like to know what he's doing right because, in my situation,he did absolutely everything wrong and I will not be returning to the store ever again. That said, I do have to say the lampshades turned out nice, but I would never return to this store - no matter the quality of work - due to Mark's attitude and the extremely poor customer service I received throughout my experience here. read more

We had a wall sconce that had a defective light outlet. We had an electrician tell us that the sconce was shot and we needed to replace both of them in our living room. The labor was quoted at $300 plus the cost of the sconces. We made some calls and were referred to Fantasy Lighting. I called and they said they could repair the sconce. One week later and $84 we had a repaired, like new, sconce. We installed the sconce and viola, it worked perfectly. I would STRONGLY suggest before investing in a new light and an expensive electrician go to Fantasy Lighting and see if your light can be repaired. We could not have been more satisfied. Great customer service, great price, high quality. read more

Fantasy lighting is totally unacceptable the man there is rude they are tremendously overpriced and I can't see that the quality is any better than somewhere else and that's exactly what I will do I will go anywhere else or go with out before I ever go back to fantasy lighting read more

So glad I found this place. My dogs are little monsters and chewed the plug off a brand new lamp I just purchased. I loved the lamp and it was sold out and I couldnt purchase another one. I was told from others that I could get the lamp rewired and was recommended to call this place. I'm so glad I did because it turns out I could just replace the plug which I didnt even know was an option and it was only $20. It was done literally in 2 minutes and I went home with my lamp working again. I'm glad the owner was honest and didnt try to upsell me! read more

Very hard to recommend. I have now been to this store 3 times. 1st time I bought 2 new $500 lamps that I immediately stored. I brought them out a year later and found one did not work. During the second visit they charged me $45 to fix the lamp that was still in some of the wrapping. Third (and I vow last) time, I called as I needed a lamp rewired very quickly- after agreeing to a $35 upcharge to have this done in 1-2 hours. I took the lamp in the guy at the counter discounted everything I was told on the phone and said I would need to leave the lamp for at least a few days. I explained that I needed this now and was willing to pay the price, again he said "No". I left the store with the lamp. I would highly recommend the great lamp repair shop in North Hollywood on Magnolia in the NoHo Arts District-they are ALWAYS friendly and helpful and have served that part of Los Angeles for over 40 years! The store is Practical Props at 11010 Magnolia Blvd read more

Charged me $35 to change out a socket on a lamp I told them I was selling. Quoted me $95 in repairs which were all super basic. Complete rip off. Do not shop here. There are so many more affordable places. I can't believe the way they released the lamp to me. Completely unacceptable. #FAIL read more

Great store! The owner and the employees are kind and very helpful. I have collected a lot of vintage lamps over the years and they're in good shape thanks to Fantasy Lighting. Hard to leave without buying another one. Customer for life :) read more

I recently went to this store with a design "challenge" and walked out with an incredibly transformed lamp. I was led into the shade room where suggestions were made to top off my light. I felt like I had my very own decorator because I was treated so well. I strongly recommend Fantasy IF you need help with a lighting problem and you need someone with taste and sophistication to assist you. read more

Beautiful store. Low-key owner. Brought my pendant lamp in to get fixed and they were very accommodating.

Ran all over Los Angeles trying to find a place to have my chandelier assembled. Most of the lighting places I visited on La Brea seemed baffled by the project, looked at it as if they'd never seen one before, and quoted me various prices that seemed completely out of left field. Then I went to Fantasy Lighting. Mark took one look at my light (in pieces, in a box surrounded by packing materials) knew exactly what needed to be done, and quoted me a great (fair) price to do it. When I went to pick it up they created a custom box to transport it in my car, which was a very thoughtful bonus. Now my chandelier is assembled, sparkling, and in perfect working order. They can install it for you, too--although I'm doing that bit myself. Highly recommended! read more

This place was sweet, I got the shades I needed and spent less than I was expecting, Marc pointed out some savings for us too. Thats good business. read more

Super friendly to me. I needed shades for the different lamps and I was in and out of there in 20 minutes with beter than what I was expecting shades. Thanks Guys! read more

In the past we have had great results in buying at Fantasy and in getting repairs. However, their present repairman stinks. He did an OK job on accomodating a threeway on a standing lamp. But on a bedside lamp he put the switch in upside down and the thing has stopped working. I would highly recommend firing him which I passed on over the telephone to a somewhat interested person or avoiding this place. read more

Cool quirky place (if you don't need a lamp, check out the Western stuff ) where they repaired a lamp while we grazed through the amazing collection of antique and modern lighting fixtures. Great price, great service. read more

Owner Marc at Fantasy Lights is beyond helpful and a gifted and talented tastemaker. There is no other place in Los Angeles for your lighting needs. The friendly and helpful staff makes every visit to Fantasy Lighting a design destination. The outstanding staff led by Marc spent hours with me to help fulfill all of my lighting needs. A great great great operation led by a first rate team. read more

Owner was rude and unhelpful. Refused to exchange a lampshade that did not fit the lamp I bought it for because it was not brought back in 48 hours. (It was 1 week later). The store had been closed over those 48 hours because it was a holiday. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

I have been going here for years... I moved to the beach and still drive here whenever I buy a new lamp but hate the shade. PERFECTION! I am anxiously awaiting my latest buy-a pale blue linen shade that they are making for me. Mark will help you design, choose, even marinate with you over the decision (I'm a Libra). Best place in the entire city for custom work or even looking through books to find exactly what you need. This is the place designers come to make one of a kind lamps and shades... Glad I'm in good company. Can't wait for my shade to be ready! read more
