Went there with some questions about replacing an old bulb for recessed lighting. Abby was incredibly helpful in explaining what would and wouldn't work. read more

This is my go-to store whenever I need a bulb of any kind. Abby is the best! If she doesn't have it in stock, she knows where to get it. My home builder made some unusual fixture choices, and replacement bulbs have been hard to come by. I brought a project on behalf of my HOA to Abby, and she was able to research and find a new source to replace bulbs from a manufacturer that had discontinued their product line. She got back to me within a day, placed a special order for me, and kept me informed of delivery status. It was an all-around great experience from initial inquiry through fulfillment. read more

Extremely overpriced. I bought 3 packs of 4 lightbulbs for $75. Looked the same bulbs up online and found them everywhere else for $15 a pack. I paid $30 more from this place. They are ripping people off. I tried to return them and they only offered a store credit. I feel so taken advantage of. I will never there again. I love to support small businesses but don't like to be taken advantage of. read more

They have everything even lightbulbs from 25 years ago. They are so knowledgeable about everything even recognizing a bulb from Germany.

Abby was a great help! The team at this light bulb warehouse really knows their stuff. They have everything you need, from specialty bulbs to everyday lighting, all at great prices. Highly recommend shopping here for both quality and service! read more

I had been searching for bulbs for a European chandelier. With all my research and advice I thought I knew what I was looking for. One call to Light Bulb Warehouse, Abby advised me that I needed a different bulb, and they had them in stock. I couldn't be more pleased, and this store is everything I was looking for. read more

Abby is always helpful. The other guy is super friendly and they have difficult to find bulbs. Always a pleasure to deal with.

I Love This Store. Great local shop to support when you need any kind of Light Bulbs! Very Helpful, Knowledgeable, Fast and Polite. Stop in next time you are in the area... Chances are you will walk out with at least one Light bulb! read more

See all

After x3 attempts at Grainger, their associates couldn't locate and order the proper bulb. Even with their huge catalogue. I walked into LBW and Abby took one (brief) look and asked one question and came back within 90 seconds with my hard to find halogen, 2-pronged, 120V, 50w bulb. She even gave me a glove to put it in the lamp so that I don't touch the bulb! read more

I have been a customer of Light Bulb Warehouse for decades. Not matter the technology, they have advice and a solution. Abby helped me find a substitute for an outdated light socket. She is the best of the best. read more

Great service for any store! Know their light bulbs too. Extremely knowledgeable and fair.

They have pretty much every lightbulb made as well as some cool fixtures. Recently I bought 3 3500k MR-16 bulbs. They were a little pricy but, LED so very long life. When I got them home they were a little too "yello" so I decided to bring them back and swap them for 4000k lamps. Probkem is, I had lost the receipt. Instead of hassling metge girl was like "don't sweat it, here's an EXTRA" and replaced my three bulbs wiuth FOUR! These guys have always been solid. I would definitely recommend! read more

Light Bulb Warehouse - Storefront - Lighting Fixtures & Equipment Near Me - San Diego, California

Open during the pandemic - yup Limited capacity- yup So, this has LONG been on h list of places to go. Like you're not a San Dieagian if you haven't been here. I've been wanting to go here for yearrrrs. I wasn't sure what to expect when we got there, but I'll tell you this, I was not disappointed. We walk in. TallGirl looks around and says umm this. We need three of these. Hmmmmph. I, being the hands on learner I am, am still turning some switches on and off ... read not sold on her selection.... so I play like I'm "still looking". Abby finishes up with her client she was working with. So we introduce ourselves. And I tell her I have an 11 x 16 room, I am using three floor lamps that have seeded glass with a 12 inch drop. I am trying to create a very soft, chill and relaxing vibe. She immediately was like, i have this bulb let me check stock. She had four. We took them. We put them in. And the living room has the PERFECT balance and quality of light I was looking for. The bulb was also gorgeous!! The cost was what you'd spend for four light bulbs that are 10 inches each. The amazing knowledge of how to light a room to perfection, that my friends is PRICELESS!!! Shop local, support local, keep amazing professionals like Abby around so we can continue to have creative spaces at home and to shop in. Oh. And do as I say, not as I do. Don't wait years. That's dumb. Go now. Get cool light bulbs. Cool light bulbs and new paint makes a house look new/updated/changed for little bits of cash. read more

Hi, I would like to take a moment to talk about how great the Light Bulb Warehouse treats me every time I walk in there store. They not only greet you with a friendly smile but there so knowledgeable on the kind of light or bulb you need. They found a bulb I needed for my GE vented hood and I thought I would try to see if they would have it and I was told from all the GE certified dealerships that I would need to go through GE and they were the only place I would find this Bulb I needed but come to my surprise they were wrong!! I found the same bulb not for $37 dollars but for $16 dollars and it was the exact same bulb GE dealers was selling. They're the only light bulb store I would go to because they have never not helped me the way a customer should be treated. Thank you, John Santander read more

Abby is fabulous! She has found bulbs for my lamps from Turkey and India. Today she helped salvage a 50+ year old "high intensity" desk lamp with a new LED bulb. Perfect! for my purpose and saved from the dump! This is the place to go for personalized service at its best. read more

I'm so glad we have this amazing light bulb store in our neighborhood. I love lamps, and lights and have quite a few, many are older or unusual so they can be hard to find the proper bulbs. I can always count on finding it at Light Bulb Warehouse. The service is also very positive. Whenever I see Abby, she always remembers me and makes me glad I we in there. Def a great business for San Diego. read more

I was looking for incandescent bulbs for our patio string lights before the state of California made them illegal. Lightbulb warehouse had a couple of cases in the back that they sold to me. Their inventory is amazing. If you can't find a bulb there, it doesn't exist! read more

Nicest most knowledgeable and great people to work with. They have everything there in stock and great accommodating people

I needed a dim bulb to use in my regular lamp as a nightlight and Abby suggested several options. She was friendly, kind, and very helpful! Love this place! Soooo many different lightbulbs! read more

I live in a building with several frustratingly obscure lighting fixtures that require unusual or outdated bulbs, and Abby at Light Bulb Warehouse has always been able to efficiently and accurately figure out what I need to fix my situation and get me what I need. It's always helpful to deal with people who know what they're talking about - thanks! read more

Every time I have a hard to find bulb I go to the Light Bulb Warehouse and Abby always is there to help me find what I need.

We needed a haul of new lights bulbs - isn't it the case where they all burn out at once? Kitchen, bath, spotlights, and outdoor landscape. Abby took the time to assist and more importantly, educate me on the new California regulations for LED bulbs. I had to order some items and they arrived in two days. Great service, prices and education. My go-to for bulbs and lighting products. read more

They know light bulbs! I moved into a condo and the first time I had to replace pronged bulbs, I tried Home Depot and Ace hardware, and after catalogues, and comparisons, I bought wrong replacements. Finally I found the Light Bulb Warehouse: instant recognition of the bulb, and less than a minute to get it from the back. My most recent visit was just today, to replace 12-year old halogens from a track series. Abby took one look and told me my bulb was discontinued, but they just got in the LED version. Friends, just go there, and do not bother going anywhere else. read more

Where do I start!!!! They are amazing! I have used Light Bulb Warehouse for years. I have used for both my wedding venues and for personal. They are friendly, professional and my special orders are always on time. Their pricing is super and Abby is a rockstar so ask for her! read more

My wife recently returned from Europe with a new lamp that required special bulbs I was unfamiliar with. When I reached out to a lighting store in my area, they recommended I speak with Light Bulb Warehouse. I called and spoke with Abby, describing the lamp to her. She knew right away what bulb it had to be. Some time later that day, I dropped by with the lamp. When she saw me walk into the shop, she recognized the lamp from our phone discussion and she grabbed the bulbs right away. Of course, they were a perfect fit. There are a lot of bulbs in this shop, but the best part is how well Abby knows lamps, bulbs and lighting trivia. read more

Great place to go and get the unusual lighting, pictures and bulbs. Excellent customer service. Easy to get to easy parking

Abby was very helpful in getting me what I needed, easy experience and great customer service!

Abby was very helpful and assited me with finding exactly what I need for replacing a hard to find Light Bulb.

I had been to 4 different stores trying to find a unique bulb. Thank goodness for Abby at Light Bulb Warehouse! After a phone call, and sending pictures through texting, she went the extra mile, researched the options and found the right bulb I needed. She called me back a day later (amazing follow up!) to let me know she had figured it all out and that they had the correct bulbs in stock. Great customer service!! I will be back for all my light bulb needs! Thank you so much! read more

Abby was so easy to work with in replacing European chandelier bulbs. So happy that this store is here. We came to replace a single bulb and left with a bunch of other bulbs we didn't know we needed. Thanks for your help Abby! read more

If you have a light fixture, these guys have the bulb. They have every kind of bulb you can think of. Fabulous service. They also sell light fixtures. I wanted some led puck lights for my newly designed display wall, all the usual suspects had nothing that would work. Light Bulb Warehouse was suggested and in just 10 minutes I had everything I needed at really fair prices. read more

I am been a customer of this business for more than two decades. It is such a benefit to have a one-stop shop for all of my lighting fixture bulb needs. Abby is ALWAYS helpful, efficient and takes the time to provide additional information relating to whatever purchase I am making. I LOVE the Light Bulb Warehouse!!!!!! read more

Abby is soooo knowledgeable in light bulbs. She has assisted me with my new sconces and ceiling lighting. I drove 20mi to get assistance with my choice of LED bulbs! Obviously, I'm impressed. read more

No matter what type of light bulb you need - this place has it. Have purchased special lighting needs from them for years, and they always come through. Yesterday needed some special LED landscape lighting and purchased 20 bulbs at a lower price than what my landscape lighting professional recommended. Always deal with Abby who is a consummate professional - knowledgeable, friendly and knows lighting. Highly recommend. read more

I have gone here a few times, and every time disappointed by either (1) price, (2) knowledge and (3) service. This time included all three and a new one...RETURN POLICY. My most recent experience... I needed a same day lighting solution and thought...we'll, I'll try one more time. I explained my application, an outdoor BBQ island, and provided a drawing and photos. I was advised the strip lighting with 12v power was the way to go, regardless of the outdoor environmental exposure. When we specifically addressed the potential exposure to moisture and rain, I was told it would be fine. Based on the information I was provided, I took it to the project and confidently left it for my electrician. Because everyone knows projects don't stick to a schedule, you should consider that before you buy here. As soon as my contractor arrived to the project, two days later, he called and explained exactly how dangerous the product was for the application. Completely CONTRADICTING EVERYTHING the sales consultant advised. The earliest I could get back to the project, a few more days had gone by, then a couple days more before I was in the area when I tried to return the kit. In all, about a week had gone by. The same sales consultant refused to return it, even though she was the one that gave me the wrong information upon which I relied in making my decision. Clearly the receipt says 3 day return policy followed by NO returns and no exceptions, although I didn't see it until I tried to return it...after all who reads a receipt before you purchase an item. Also, there was a sign way above the counter...but I was looking at the sales consultants face and the products she was presenting as viable options...and the sign blends in with all the other signs and is out of line of sight. One would expect GENERAL product knowledge from a big box store sales staff, but not from a specialty store...especially when it comes to electrical items. I shop specialty stores when I need qualified and professional knowable staff. My grievances.... This place is overly priced. The staff lacks knowledge, but presents themselves as industry professionals. The return policy is a joke. If you are singularly focused on a one day project, you might be able to return something you purchase under false information..but really, probably not. It is definitely not contractor or consumer friendly...or even realistic. NEVER AGAIN. read more

I have been trying to order 17 outdoor lighting fixtures for months. I spent many hours online and also went to every lighting store that I could find. Anytime I found a fixture that would work, it would be out of stock. I suppose this isn't surprising due to supply chain issues, but no one was helpful until I went into the Light Bulb Warehouse. I worked with Abby, and she showed me what she had in the type of outdoor fixtures I wanted (marine grade or powder coated, contemporary clean lines). She found me two fixtures that I liked that were in stock in Southern California. I chose one and she placed the order and I had them in 5 days! If you are looking for someone who is very professional and knowledgeable and willing to spend time to help you and solve your problem, I would recommend Light Bulb Warehouse. It says on their business cards "We're Here to Help", and they really are! read more
