If you want a true expert in antique lighting look no further. He has amazing inventory of one of a kind items and a discerning eye! We have been dealing with Tom for over 20 years! read more

Very professional and very generous providing the time needed to answer questions about lighting.

This place, and Tom who runs it, are such a delight! I stumbled upon it while strolling around waiting for my dog to be done with his haircut. Two weeks later and I've replaced two fixtures that my husband and I have been aiming to replace for TEN YEARS. We just couldn't find anything that fit just right and after spending plenty on the first two fixtures (as part of a reconstruction) we weren't keen on settling. Even with wiring and unhung lamps everywhere, walking in here feels like strolling into period fantasy. Also, Tom knows period fixtures like none other, is super fun to chat with, and incredibly fast with preparing a fixture for pickup or delivery. Finally, don't waste your time if you find something you love - he's got a lot of interested parties and things go fast! read more

When we were building our house on Cape Cod, we debated about the style of lighting to use. Most of the fixtures in the house were modern. But when we saw what Light Power could do with antique fixtures, we ended up with three fixtures that Tom custom fitted. They are the lighting center pieces of the kitchen, the dining area, and our front foyer. The antique lights give the rooms a warmth and a genuine feel that new fixtures just can't match. And interestingly, they make the other modern fixtures look even better in their own right. It's nice to work with folks in an old-fashioned business where they truly understand their product and make sure that you're totally satisfied. We are. read more

Excellent service and beautiful lights--I love looking at the antique lights when come in and love the lights I have bought.

Great shop who took the time and effort to work out a beautiful solution for our master bath remodel. Tom also has been an invaluable resource for identifying lamp age and value of existing lamps in my 1800s house, and suggesting alternative solutions. read more

Unique lighting that Tom adjusted for my very tall ceilings. My project turned out so great the contractor uses a pic of my kitchen in his portfolio, everyone wants to know where to get the lights! I looked last night and hard for lighting, very happy with Tom. read more

Great selection and unbeatable prices, bought matching pair of chandeliers, arrived on time and good quality. Will definitely buy again.

I wish I could give no stars to this vendor. I joined yelp to hopefully prevent others from having as negative experience as I had. I recently brought three antique fixtures to this vendor to have them restored and repaired. I had several quotes from other vendors and went with Light Power because it was the most convenient. Big mistake. I spent a fortune and they were returned to me as dirty and dingy as when they were delivered . The owner would not resolve the issue and said he would have charged me double. I have since found a much better vendor, Gary's Antiques and Light Restoration in Northborough. Totally worth the drive. A lovely man, beautiful work and very reasonably priced. read more

We live in your typical center-entrance colonial with a formal dining room. In a recent remodel we were stymied by with what kind of chandelier to replace our old outdated one. In researching lighting in the Boston area we stumbled upon this unassuming antique lighting shop on the outskirts of Boston's South End. The shop is chock-full of extraordinary lighting that spans historical periods. The inventory is so extensive with many unique pieces that it could make your head spin. The owner was extremely helpful in helping us assess our lighting needs, in terms of style, size, and illumination. This made the selection process not so overwhelming. The owner was able to customize the lighting to our specific needs. Visitors to our home frequently comment on the beauty of our chandelier. read more

I wouldn't recommend Genuine Antique Lighting, doesn't stand behind his lights. I spent 5,000 on 2 sconces that nothing fit together and designed the cabinet around the sconces and now don't know what to do. I ordered two chandeliers that matched and they arrived broken and didn't look at all like the ones I ordered. Tom the owner would not help, hopefully the credit card company will. I am a single mom and $5,000 is a lot of money for me. read more

We live in an 1890 Victorian three (3) story townhouse in Richmond, VA that we have renovated over the last several years. I had looked for period lighting sources for some time and was very pleased to find the knowledgeable and friendly folks at Light Power. We could not have been happier with the dining room chandelier we purchased. In fact we were so pleased we went back and bought four wall sconces of the same vintage and which coodinated perfectly with the chandelier. Thomas was patient and offered great advice. Everyone is impressed with the quality and condition of these great fixtures. read more
