So glad I read these reviews before purchasing!! Would rather pay a few more dollars to avoid the problems. I was wondering if I would really get a OEM worklight like the listing says. But after reading all the reviews I guarantee it is the cheaper generic bulb that I can get cheaper. Thanks people!! read more

Don't order hard to find bulbs from this company. I did - and they substituted them with inexpensive bulbs that were not even close to the intended use of the ones I ordered. They charged me shipping for the original order and for the return. Shipping was three times as much as I could have bought the bulbs they sent me. No customer service - Save yourself the aggravation! read more

Tried to order a motorcycle battery. The website would not process my PayPal order. (First clue) I contacted Amber via email and asked if a phone order was possible. She replied it was. I called and ordered battery number 12N7A-3A. I gave my credit card and email address to the CS Rep. I never received an email confirmation for the order. (Second clue) I received a battery marked IN-156L3. I filled the battery while in the box and put it on charge. When I went to install the battery, it was the wrong battery. It was battery number 12N7-3A. This is quite different physically than a 12N7A-3A. Turns out they don't even carry the 12N7A-3A. Due to the battery being filled, returns would involve shipping hazardous materials and the cost would be over 50 percent of the purchase price. There was a combination or errors here. Had the CS Rep confirmed that the requested 12N7A-3A was not sold by Interlight, I would not have ordered it. (Third clue). Now out 50 bucks.... read more

I ordered a li-ion laptop battery and it arrived defective. 0v and completely dead. This defective battery is dangerous and they refuse to pick up the battery or to provide me with a refund. Amber gaslights me by saying things like "I'm sorry the battery didn't work for you." This type of customer service is despicable and I now have to escalate this further. NEVER AGAIN. read more

I ordered what they stated was a replacement battery for my wireless headphones. It didn't cost much though shipping was almost as much as the battery. It didn't work, wasn't charged and would not charge. Instead of offering a replacement/exchange, they offered for me to return it for a refund, minus of course me paying for shipping. I'm giving one star because I apparently can't give 0 stars read more

One of the two bulbs I ordered was broken upon arrival. Interlight did not respond to my replacement request via their website or email until, so I called and spoke to a representative. Once they finally shipped the replacement, the bulb they sent was completely different (incandescent vs halogen) than what I had originally ordered. After explaining it was an incorrect substitute, I asked for a refund. They told me I would have to pay for shipping, despite them shipping me a broken bulb, then the wrong replacement. Four emails later, I decided this was not worth the hassle and cost. I would not recommend purchasing from them. read more

Ordered a backup bulb, which was described as a "replacement" for a very specific model number, shown clearly on the purchase invoice. The bulb I received came in a generic, white box with no printing. The bulb itself has a P/N printed on it, but is a generic number without description. When I needed to use the backup bulb, I discovered that it was the wrong color, 3000K Cool White instead of 2700K Warm White, which again, is shown clearly on the purchase invoice. The ONLY way to tell the difference was to install the backup bulb to check it. I had placed two orders within 1 week of each other, and the second order had the problem. I replied to an email of an order confirmation about the problem, but apparently I replied to the 1st invoice email, containing the wrong order number. But after almost TWO MONTHS I had no reply. They COULD HAVE replied to the incorrect email, asking what the issue was, but didn't. AND my second order was not even in my Orders list on their website! So after finding the order# through the invoice email, I asked that they replace their mistaken shipment. The agent, after "checking with management" said basically that the bulb they sent IS a suitable replacement, and if I want a refund there is a restocking fee + shipping! I said that, no, it is not a suitable replacement, and is contradictory to the invoice, and that the shipping error is on their end. They then said that it's past their company 30-day return window. There is NO STATEMENT of that policy on their website or on the purchase invoice. So, as far as I can tell, they made it up. If you do end up ordering anything from them, even after all these BBB reviews, be sure to INSPECT AND CHECK every item immediately upon arrival. They are not a viable supplier for backups, as one has to check/inspect every item upon receipt. See BBB website reviews, as well, documenting similar customer service complaints. read more

I would not suggest you order from this company. I was sent the wrong bulb and it took 3 phone calls and 2 emails to resolve the return. Delta insisted I was sent the correct bulb when obviously it didn't fit my fixture. As of right now I still haven't received a credit on my return though the company received the return 7 days ago. Just an another company who cares very little about their customers. read more

I ordered 2 bulbs, A15, 60 watt. I received 40 watt. Customer service told me the 60 watt bulbs were discontinued. I asked how to return the bulbs. I was told how, but i had to pay return shipping. When I questioned that I was directed to the return policy that stated pictures on their website might differ from the actual product. It also said I was subject to a 25% restock fee. I told customer service it was not the picture that differed, but the actual worded description clearly said 60 watt, not 40 watt bulbs. I told them they could have just sent an email saying that item was no longer available BEFORE they shipped something I did not order. I received a response saying management issued a return label as a "One time accommodation". Beware of the switching of items from what you order and making you pay for their trickery. read more

It is an easy website to maneuver, and there is a large selection of bulbs from which to choose.

Located the cinch straps I was looking for. Not sure if they will fit. Have to wait until they arrive. I called and talked to a representative who was unable to provide me with that information. Just have to wait and hope I don't have to rest their return policy. read more

Found bulbs for Welch Allen Otoscope/Ophthalmoscope set that is 50 years old that I have used since medical school and still works well. Took me an hour to locate on the internet. read more

So disappointed in their product. Had a bulb that was no longer made by the manufacturer. Researched it and found that this company had a replacement bulb for that light. Purchased 2 of them thinking that would hold me over until I can replace the fixture. When the replacement came it didnt fit the fixture because the dimensions were not the same as the light it claimed to replace. Contacted the company for a refund and they told me that I was responsible for shipping it back. Finally got my refund and they stated they don't refund the initial shipping cost. Purchased 2 LED bulbs 137 dollars. Spent 20 dollars shipping it back. Got back 117 total of 157 dollars. Lost 40 dollars and 2 hours of my time for their false advertising. Do not recommend this company, and will report to the BBB. read more

Fair price on parts. The shipping is outrageous though. I would like to see the comparison of there part to the oem

Easy to work with. Questions answered quickly when cross referencing products. Returns/exchanges easy to process.

Bait and Switch outfit. Ordered item via their website, got order confirmation. The next day got email that my desired product doubled in price. Did I want to cancel order or pay the new double price? Well cancelled the order and will take my business elsewhere. Should have done my research - based on the Better Business Bureau, Interlight has an F rating for failure to respond to 3 complaint(s) filed against business, 8 complaint(s) filed against business, 1 complaint(s) filed against business that were not resolved. https://www.bbb.org/us/in/hammond/profile/light-bulbs/interlight-0352-90009416 read more

If I could give negative stars, I would. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!! I ordered a light from them for my refrigerator. There was no indication on the website that it was not made by my refrigerator's manufacturer, and no different part number. When the light came it was a completely different warmth than the others in my refrigerator, so the brightness of the light is very noticeably different. I called Interlight and they told me that they reserve the right to substitute a different light as long as it will fit, regardless of the warmth. They won't refund my original shipping cost and I have to pay for return shipping. What a waste of time and money. read more

We ordered a replacement light fixture that was to be installed in the same area as other fixtures with the same product code as what was purchased but what was shipped to us was a "replacement" that was different than our other fixtures. Interlight agreed for us to return for a full refund and was very understanding, however, only the product cost was returned to my card. Customer service is now messaging that they do not refund shipping if what they send is a "replacement' for the part even though the actual product may be different and then read the whole policy to me apparently from the website somewhere. Not a lot of money but a disappointing policy and tone of conversation. read more

I should have read the other reviews before purchasing my item. I searched their website for a battery for my Hitachi Camcoder Hi8 which cost $37.99 + 10.94 for shipping. The battery received was a generic brand and did not fit my camera. It was almost double the size and could not fir into my Camcoder. Thankfully they refunded the cost of the battery, but refused to refund the shipping cost plus the cost I paid for shipping it back to them. In summary, their website shows a picture of my battery, but delivered another generic model. I wasted one month and it cost me $17.50 out of pocket. Tom Loggia email - tgloggia@gmail.com read more

IN February 2023 I ordered a replacement HP laptop battery. When I took package to Best Buy to install, we found the shipped battery was incorrect, even though it was labeled as the correct battery. The battery was returned, but no credit issued after over 2 weeks. The phone number on the invoice doesn't work. I have a dispute pending with credit card company. Michael read more

The light bulb Interlight shipped me was not the brand or model I ordered and did not fit into my light fixture. When I called, Interlight customer service told me it was still "compatible" with what I ordered and the best they could do. After that and a couple more emails to complain, they agreed to let me return the bulb for a credit. But I still had to pay for their shipping and handling, plus the shipping to return their bulb to them. read more

Listen to all the 1 star reviews here - everything is true. Ordered a bulb and they sent me what they deemed to be a suitable replacement when it is a different length (won't fit in my fixture) and wattage (fixture states do not go above 16 watts). They want me to pay to return it when they are the ones that advertise they have in stock one bulb but then send a completely different one. The fact they also make you pay for returns when it is their fault is insane. Never order from here. read more

See all

Interlight presents on their web sight a visual image and product description of a GE light bulb (41032). Buried in their 30+ page terms and conditions is that they are supplying a substitute with supposedly equivalent performance. What they shipped are bulbs that are dimmer than than GE bulb and a different color/temperature than the GE bulb. They charged $13.91 for the bulbs and $15.51 for shipping. When I asked to return the bulbs the told me I would have to pay the return shipping and they would review reimbursement for the returned bulbs and there is no reimbursement for shipping. This company IS NOT reputable. They should be absolutely be avoided. read more

I was looking for a light bulb that supported an earlier model of Verilux Happy Light. I could not find it on Verilux's website, and got a Google search saying Interlightus. com had it. I typed in the exact light bulb model. Interlightus showed the exact model. I bought it and paid the $15 on shipping. When I received the bulb, it was DAMAR and, while attempting to install it, it broke in my hand. Not only did they send me the incorrect bulb, they also provided misleading information on their website. I wrote their customer service explaining what happened, and requesting either a refund or an accurate replacement. The representative, named Brandy, had no empathy. She said I should have had realistic expectations, and that such a risk came with ordering generic, replacement products: "That unfortunately is the risk when purchasing aftermarket product. Since the bulb automatically broke upon you installing into your fixture, unfortunately there is no further action we are able to assist with. We are unable to issue a full refund. I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. Have a great day." Those were her exact words. Obviously, her poor customer service was worth a bad review on Yelp and on Google. She disagreed, saying she took customer service very seriously. That was the first time and the last time I ever bought an item from that company. read more

Overly expensive bulbs compared to competition despite quick service and very high shipping costs.

I ordered a Holtkotter bulb 6505 over the phone from Interlight. The bulb was $47.87 and with shipping $64.89 and never got it . Called and told them and they sent out another one that I got . And as the internet tracks you on things i got a ad the same bulb was $16.04 and free shipping on Ebay so i ordered it for a spare . When it arrived through Ebay it was from the same company Interlight . I am upset that I was overcharged by this company . I have all the invoices and mailing labels to show that both bulbs came from the same company Interlight I have called this company several times to ask why and if i could have the difference in what I paid through Ebay . I have talked to at least 3 different ladies and one lady forward my call to management Mr Ron Davis and it went to his voicemail and he has ignored me . Will never buy through them again . They advertise they have an A+ rating with the BBBwhileyou wait on the phone for an agent. But if you go to the BBB in Hammond In there rating is F read more

They don't deserve a star! Please read reviews and don't purchase anything from here! I purchased a bulb for my projector and it took two weeks before I received it! I tired chatting online regarding my order number several times and chat ended or never responded! I called several times regarding my order absolutely no help! Once I received my bulb absolutely nothing! I returned the item and they disputed it with my bank and they have they merchandise! Scam pls tag away read more

I am shocked at the service I received from this company. I ordered 4 bulbs and received them today. They are all inoperable. I called the 1-800-743-0005 number after I tried to do a chat that is promised to be available 24-7 just to get the refund policy information. I could not locate the refund policy on the website as I prefer to scroll instead of calling as my time is limited. The chat was not available once I typed "bulbs I received are all inoperable". I have made 4 calls in which I was hung up on all 4 times. But after taking about 15 minutes searching for your "Terms and Conditions" I have found your refund policy and I will return my items. I have never dealt with a company as unprofessional as this one. Because of my experience, I will take my business elsewhere. read more

Found a common tune-up kit at a reasonable price, ordered 4. The lowest shipping rate was way too high, but the kits were needed. The next week, got a call and they said the price had gone up per kit, from $9.77 to $15.00 and more shipping? almost doubled my cost. Canceled order, will look elsewhere from now on. read more

Do not use this company. Like others, I ordered one type of bulb and received another one. The bulbs I payed for cost $45 each, and the bulbs they sent cost $15 each. After going around on email for a bit, I called them, was disconnected by the first person, and the 2nd person told me that I could return the bulbs, but they don't have any of the ones I ordered in stock. And I note that there is a 25% restocking fee. AVOID this company. read more

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!! The only reason there is 1 star is because Google makes you put one. Wish I would have seen all these reviews before I made the purchase. Absolutely disgusted with there customer service. All these reviews are accurate with what I have experienced. I lost over $700 on light bulbs that dont even work. read more

Do not use this company. I ordered battery 2 week ago. They took money. But they not ship. They can't figure out how to apply label to. Box. So they still not ship. U better off using goadapter. Com Just warning u u will be wait forever for item. read more

Awful customer service. Displays pictures and names of products that they do not carry and then send you a completely different product than what was advertised. They also tried to send me less than what I paid for since ordering a bulk load I guess they thought I wouldn't catch on to them trying to get over on me. Wish the absolute worst for companies like this that try to deceive customers because that seems the only way they are able to get sales. Terrible company, even worse people that run it. read more

On May 20, 2022 I ordered a replacement battery for my laptop. The proceed to checkout said I would receive it in 4 to 5 business days. The next day I received an e mail saying something went wrong with my order. I called and said I got an e mail that something was wrong with my order. The customer service representative said they did not see anything wrong and gave me a tracking number for USPS. I plugged in the tracking number and USPS said they had no information on it but would as soon as the shipper released the item to USPS. On June 3, 2022 I plugged in the number again and got the same USPS message. I called Interlight again and they said that I would receive it soon. On June 6, I called again since I got the same USPS response. The representative (Daniel) said well wait 30 days if you do not receive it call back and we can refund your money. I said I wanted to cancel now its been like 16 days and USPS still does not have the item. However, Daniel just kept repeating the wait 30 days speech over and over again. I finally called my credit card company to dispute the charges. What a nightmare and rude company. Do not ever order anything from these guys.

I wish other companies were as good as Interlight. Been a customer for over 20 years and 500 orders(we are a large facility) Great quality, prices, shipping, customer service and their research is probably greatest in the world. When we purchase a new machine they research it and always find the bulb we need. We recently started purchasing our batteries from them too. My only complaint is I wish I knew that had batteries years ago. GREAT COMPANY, GREAT PEOPLE!! read more

I ordered UVC bulbs from Interlight. They took a long time to arrive due to COVID (not their fault).The lights did not work for more than 1/2 hour. They sent a replacement bulb once. I asked for a refund or credit toward another type of bulb. They told me the 30 days from the original purchase had passed, despite much of that was taken up by shipping and back and forth discussing the problem. They refuse to answer emails or discuss on the phone. Reported to BBB. Trying to get refund through VISA. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY - they refuse to stand behind their product. Find another source. read more

Nothing good to say about these clowns, ordered some bulbs and what they sent wasn't what they advertised. When I requested they correct the issue they refused and I had to go through my credit card company to get a refund and the return shipping is on me because of their mistake. I understand everyone makes mistakes but it is what one does to correct their own mistakes that shows their true character and these guys are looking to make a fast buck with deceptive sales practices. After you start looking into them you will see they have multiple names, most reputable companies go by one name not a bunch to hide who they are. This is one of the cases where being able to give them a zero-star rating would be justified. read more
