This review is 3.5 stars. I brought them a lamp that belonged to my grandmother and is very special to me. I wanted the lamp re-wired and to be painted. This was done in just a few days but when I picked it up I was told that they didn't put the original pull switch back because the wiring came with a rotary switch near the plug. I was also told that he staggered the lights because it was safer for the glass globes. I told them the lamp was already staggered and this seemed like news to them. I took the lamp home but wasn't happy about not having the middle pull switch. I returned it to have them reattach it. The gentleman showed me a switch with a tiny little chain and told me that it was the original switch. I told him it wasn't because the original was longer and had a ball on the end. He produced another little chain with ball but it didn't look right. I left him to it and it was returned with what I believe is my original pull switch. However, after dropped it off the second time, I was concerned that the integrity of this lamp was being compromised. I called and shared my concerns with Celia. It was a tense conversation and I admit I wasn't pleased. The gentleman was terse with me when I picked it up the second time but I expected that. PROs: The price was reasonable. The paint job was good. They provided the extra screws I requested to hold the globes. They gave me a set of hanging hooks. CONs: He didn't seem to know what the lamp looked like when I first brought it in. Changed lamp by removing the pull switch without consulting me or asking if it was okay. Two of the sockets are askew so the bulbs don't sit centrally. Didn't know which switch was mine when I brought it back and had to provide them a picture. The lamp works and the paint job is great but I'm going to have a friend re-wire the hanging sockets to get the globes in their original staggered positions and to straighten out the sockets. I won't use J and C again but if you're very clear about what you want and document your electronics with photos before you give it to them, you'll probably be okay. read more

J&C Lighting was recommended to us by a family member. We have a 70 year old crystal chandelier that had fallen while my wife was cleaning it. It had been installed incorrectly by our previous contractor during a remodel. It was hanging just by the electrical cord. When the contractor came to remove it a piece of the crystal bobeche broke into many pieces. We took the entire chandelier to J&C for repair and refurbishing. Jorge disassembled the entire chandelier so that it could be rewired and cleaned. He did an amazing job! This is a lost art and Jorge has the expertise and patience to do it right. It was done in about 2 weeks, in time for Christmas. Thank you Celia and Jorge for being there when we needed your services. Anyone needing lamp, or chandelier repair should look first to J&C. read more

Urban Lighting (in downtown San Diego where we live) recommended that we take our desk lamp to J&C for repair. The experience was perfect. The owners were responsive and professional and fixed our lamp at a moderate price. We highly recommend this business! read more

Great job in repairing an old lamp my husband purchased in Taiwan 45 yrs ago but never used. Jorge restored everything, I.e. wiring, new parts, etc. and it's working for the first time. Bought a new shade to complete the ensemble. read more

Love, love, love this shop! They are so caring and knowledgeable. I took a family heirloom lamp that I figured was a loss. The care and expertise used for the renaissance of my piece has me reeling with joy and thankful for the artesian work of J&C Lighting. They are masters of their craft! I highly recommend. I will return. Sherry Smiley read more

I'm so grateful to J&C Lighting. This chandelier has been in my family for 100 years. Jorge was so meticulous and careful. He knew exactly what to do and he did it. He rewired, cleaned and polished the chandelier perfectly. Celia found the perfect replacement shade, light and globe as well as matching crystals. They are fair and honest. The work was completed in an astonishingly short time. Thank you so much for giving back to me my precious memories of my family. read more

I drove over 30 miles to have J & C repair my lights. A table lamp was repaired; in addition to replacing the burnt out part, they did some extras such as replacing a pad and doing some extra cleaning. A piano lamp that 2 other places told me couldn't be fixed, was repaired and looks like new. Amazing work and friendly service. Highly recommend!! read more

We took two table lamps and one floor lamp to J & C Lighting. The switches for both table lamps and the floor lamp were shot. We didn't realize it but the inside wires of the floor lamp and the base were damaged so everything was replaced and fixed. All lamps are working beautifully now. We had a great experience and will be going back for any future lamp repairs. read more

I'm very pleased with the fast service on my vintage 1950's TV lamp repair. Pleasant owners, reasonable pricing. I dropped it off at 10am and picked up at 3pm! That deserved the 5 star rating! Thank you J and C Lighting! read more

I took my antique chandelier, inherited from my parents, to J&C Lighting because I had read great reviews. I felt very confident that they could restore its original beauty and make it electrically safe to hang. I had no idea how beautiful it would be. I have such fond memories of seeing it in my parents home and wanted it now to be in my home. I believe they said the chandelier may be dated back to the late 1800s, early 1900. It is very delicate. They did an exceptional job and will return there if I ever need any more delicate restorations. I totally recommend J&C Lighting! read more

Incredibly professional and knowledgeable. We brought an old lamp in to get the cord repaired, and not only did he do that, but he also noticed the part the bulb screws into was corroded and fixed that. It was all done in a day, and we could not be more thrilled with the result. Thank you so much for bringing our sweet old lamp back to life! read more

I am very happy with the work done on my old lamp. I had the cord, felt on the bottom of lamp replaced and switch. Was told that I could pick up the lamp tomorrow but the lamp was ready the same day. Excellent work done by J&C Lighting. Would highly recommend to friends. read more

I'd give 6 stars if I could. Brought them a large 1950's aluminum chandelier with tons of components which was in dire need of complete rewiring...they told me they would have it done within a few days, which was fantastic. THE NEXT AFTERNOON they called to tell me that it was finished - not only did they rewire it flawlessly but they also cleaned it and fixed a couple of the small components. The price was also totally reasonable. They have over 25 years experience with lighting. They realllllly know what they doing. Just trust me, these are your people! I will be back again for sure - they are my new go to. Thank you J&C Lighting! Bravo! read more

Such an amazing transformation, beyond my expectations. This crystal chandelier was an inheritance piece from my paternal grandmother - remember it fondly from my childhood but have never seen the casting look this good, as new I would think. Guesstimating Sweden, circa 1920-1930's. The patience and care to restore it was nothing short of extraordinary - Thank you!!! Before and after, will let you guess which is which. read more

I am so grateful to have found this place. They took excellent care of my antique "Gone With The Wind" lamp. This is a family heirloom and something I adore. They cleaned the glass and gave the electrical system an overall. They switched out the old plug, socket and bulb for a new, safe LED light. It's like a new lamp again! I highly recommend them!! read more

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Excellent and fast service. Repaired two table lamps I've had for a long time but could never find anything that worked as well. Dropped off one day and fixed the next. Awesome--like brand new. Recommend highly. read more

Their prompt, courteous repair of my 2 bedroom lamps. Highly recommend to anyone needing service! Thank you!

For about the 12th time, Celia and Jorge of J&C Lighting have rewired a vintage chandelier or lamp for us. This time was very different though! I'm going to say this in ALL CAPS so that my fellow Yelpers understand how important this is: DO NOT ASSUME THAT "REWIRED" ITEMS THAT YOU PURCHASE FROM EBAY, ETSY, OR AT AN ANTIQUE STORE ARE PROPERLY AND SAFELY REWIRED We were very, very lucky to have J&C after a recent eBay purchase. Here's what happened: An eBay seller told me the chandelier I was purchasing was rewired. We received it and she had done a crap job on the packaging, so we had to take it to J&C for repair of one broken and one bent socket. Celia immediately noticed problems with the wiring, and said that Jorge would take a look at it. Celia called yesterday to say it was available and guess what she said when we picked it up: ~~~Chandelier needed complete rewiring and all sockets needed repaired. Metal was touching metal All sockets were glued down which isn't safe at all and the sockets were all loose. In the sockets metal was touching metal. This could have caused a serious fire. There was no ground wire either, which is another safety hazard. The seller totally misrepresented their product and sold you a dangerous hazardous fixture. Our cost was $165.00 to repair it.~~~ Yes, really ... always take your vintage lamps and chandeliers to a professional. We highly recommend J&C! read more

Had a 1930s Spanish chandelier rewired, new parts and rehung the crystals and they did a great job!

Excellent lamp repair service! I am so happy to have found Jorge and Cecilia. J&C was able to fix my problematic touch-control bedside lamps-- after two other shops had told me that they were unable to do it! J&C offered friendly, professional service, they completed the work in less than a day, and the price was reasonable. When I requested that they transform my lamps from touch control to a switch controller, they listened to me and gave me a couple of options to chose from. Plus they gave advice on the proper bulb to purchase so as to avoid future problems. I will definitely be coming back for future lamp repair work! read more

I brought in what I thought was probably a completely destroyed lamp that had snapped at the metal base. Not only did they fix it in less than a day but you can't even tell it was broken. And they made it sturdier than it was before. After this I would highly recommend them to everyone. read more

These people were professional, front desk to repair. My lamps now have 3 way brass sockets, secured top to bottom and protective felt on the base. The price was very reasonable. I now have 2 functioning pieces of art lamps that can be passed from one generation to the the next. Thank you! read more

Celia (probably the "C" in J & C lighting) was a delight to work with on the repair of a chandelier. They gave me a good estimate and had it it repaired as fast as lightning! They went above and beyond cleaning it thoroughly. It sparkles now. I will come here again for any repairs and to shop. They have a large variety of lamps and ceiling fans. Fun place and great people. Outstanding customer service read more

Went in to repair lamp I had for 25 years. Took a second for them to diagnose and another 15 mins to fix. In and out with ease. Super friendly and helpful. Would come here again for any electrical lamp issue. read more

I had a couple of lamps that were damaged during our cross country move. I brought them to J & C lighting and am very happy with the work. Both lamps were ready for pickup two days later. I highly recommend them. read more

After a horrendous military move with tons of damage to our household goods, I searched for a reputable company to fix two floor lamps. J & C rewired our beautiful floor lamp with a foot switch in less than 48 hours. On top of that, the value was unparalleled. With that success, I also brought in my industrial floor Ott Lite that would no longer assemble after the movers dismantled it and destroyed the threading. Another victory in record time! Now, I find myself searching for any additional lighting projects to bring to J & C. I cannot recommend this company enough. Great customer service and incredible speed. read more

Definitely worth the drive from Temecula! We needed a Hubbardton Forge lamp rewired and repaired and wanted to make sure it was done right. Within 1 week it was repaired/rewired to perfection and is back on the end table in our music room. . J & C Lighting has gained 2 more loyal customers! read more

Restoring possessions to a usable state is much more earth friendly than buying new every time something fails. A few years ago I took a lamp to J&C for repair. It needed to be re wired. These people impressed me for their honesty and friendliness. Last week another lamp went out and based on my good experience with J&C I called them again. Now we have another lamp that is BETTER than new. Yes, these people are craftsmen. They are proud of their work and give quality repairs. They absolutely deserve 5 stars. read more

I was extremely pleased with the level and quality of service I received at J&C Lighting. The dimming control on my table top lap would become very hot when when it was on the low setting. It was a very expensive lamp that I really like, so I wanted it to operate correctly and safely. I had taken the lamp to two different repair places over the past several months and although they claimed to have fixed the problem, it would still overheat on the low dim setting. My friend (who also needed her lamp repaired) and I arrived at J&C light at approximately 10:30 AM. on a Thursday. Originally Celia told us the lamp would be ready on Monday however, when Celia learned that we had travelled down from Rancho Bernardo she asked Jorge if he could look at the lamps and perhaps do a same day repair. He said he could and asked us to return about 1PM. We returned at 1PM and the lamps were ready. I have used the lamp on the dim setting every night for the past week and the control has remained cool. I was very impressed that Jorge and Celia were so considerate of our time that they went out of their way to do a same day repair and thus save us a return trip. I will definitely use them for any future lighting repairs I may need and highly recommended them to others. This was a very positive experience for me. read more

I would highly recommend J&C Lighting for lamp repairs!!! The cost, turnaround time and quality of the repair were all outstanding!!!

If you do business with this company make sure you have agreed in advance to what you are authorizing them to do and how much it will cost. I was presented with a large bill for work I had not authorized. read more

J&C lighting does not own-up to their defective merchandise. "Celia" sold me a florescent tube and then said she did not sell it to me. I had a light in my shop that worked for six years, Celia sold me a replacement that worked for three months. When I returned the florescent tube Celia said she remembered my purchase but told me that the defective tube was not purchased from her store. Very degrading and a slap in the face. She said that the tube did not have a label on it that she recognized. When I asked to show me this special designation, she showed me a smaller tube, then a larger tube. I asked to see one that was my size and Celia said she did not have any. (How convenient). I did not want a refund, I did not want a replacement, I just wanted to tell her that her distributor was selling junk, and although she remembered selling me this lamp she said that I never bought it from her. A repeatable establishment would gladly correct a ten dollar discrepancy, but not Celia. Humiliating and insulting, I shall never again darken your doorway and recommend no one else does. read more

They expertly fixed many vintage fluorescent lights for me. The repair man is a genius.

Absolutely the worst!! They don't take returns even if they sold you the part based on their false information. The woman there provides customer service equivalent to a TJ flea market. Horrible little craphole. read more

I took 2 small lamps in for repair. They both needed rewiring and a change of type of switch. About an hour later, Celia called with an estimate and they were ready to pick up the next day. I am very pleased with the quality of workmanship and the friendly, helpful manner of their customer service. Their price was very reasonable. I highly recommend them! read more

Jorge has been able to repair a couple of expensive contemporary, European made lamps for me that no one else would touch (including the store that sold them to me). He's also installed electrical components in two of my art assemblages. I'm giving him 5 stars and would recommend him to anyone. It is well worth the trip to Chula Vista. read more

I am new to the area, and had a number of lamps and two fans needing repair. What good fortune to have this business in my back yard! Very friendly, amazingly fast, and just good people to do business with. I would recommend to anybody. Very pleased with the people and the product. Thanks, J & C! read more

First started going here four years ago; we have several very old Stiffel lamps that needed repairs. Work was done perfectly and the lamps are good as new. We bought a beautiful lamp from the store, there was a problem--it kept shorting out--Jorge and Celia fixed it at no charge to us. My latest project for them was a Victorian gas lamp that had been converted to an electric lamp about 50 years ago. The cord was broken. I brought it in and Celia noticed that the bottom half of the lamp was also supposed to light up. I have had the lamp since I was seven years old and never knew the bottom part illuminated. Jorge fixed the cord, fixed the top socket and rewired the lamp so that both the top and bottom portions now illuminate. The lamp is gorgeous. The cost of repairs on all the lamps we have brought in was very reasonable, especially given the high quality of work performed on the lamps. This place is great. read more
