    My beautifully rewired vintage Pizza Hut lamp. Huzzah!
    Stephy S.

    Ever walk down a random street and wonder how these little hole-in-the-wall gems stay alive. A trophy store here, a lamp store there, and then one day you find a vintage Pizza Hut stained glass lamp on Etsy and need it rewired and think, "Oh! There's that little lamp store on West Portal! Maybe they can rewire it!?!" And sure enough, they did! And so quickly. Literally same day service! I really enjoyed Michael, the owner. He is gruff in that funny no nonsense way and then he cracks a smile and you know you're in good hands. He did such a great job and I love that he asked me to pick a wire color and when I chose black, he gave me a look which clearly indicated bronze was a better choice and it totally was! Just an all around fun interaction and now my beautiful nostalgic nod to my childhood proudly hangs in my livingroom with it's new bronze 12 foot cord and chain and nifty switch! Thank you so much for making this silly dream come alive for me!

    Michael repaired a beloved lamp, took care to use the original pull chains and did it all in less than 90 minutes and at a reasonable price. I'm so glad professionals like he is still exist. What a gift!

    Classic Tizio lamp from the 80's low volt halogen.

    Great shop, owner and service! Speed and quality. Repaired a light we love that became unsafe, and preserved the parts. Thank you!

    The owner is helpful. If he can't assist you himself, he'll try to help you get what you need elsewhere. He's very customer-focused.

    The service I received was phenomenal. He wouldn't even take a tip. Suggested instead I spend it on local shop, which I did.

Here, you will find the BEST selections of lighting and the most HELPFUL staff ever!!! Circa Lighting is the Four Seasons of lighting stores - I don't think I'll ever find superb service and quality products anywhere else. Our client wanted large Darlana outdoor lighting, which are very large and extremely expensive. She also wanted two fireplace mantle crystal sconces, and three picture lights. Immediately, I thought of Kate Space sconces and Chapman & Meyers cabinet picture lights - both made with quality brass. The showroom manager, Linda, was extremely helpful and provided us an extra 10% off. She took care of our needs quickly and was very knowledgeable. Before the backordered lanterns would arrive, the electrical team realized the lanterns were too large for the patio bifold door opening that the contractors were currently building (and there was actually a code to respect in terms of height). Since they were building the opening of these bifold doors AFTER we ordered the lights, everything changed. I called immediately to cancel, but the lanterns arrived that same day. I spoke to Jonathan and he was super helpful - we were able to order new lights that would fit and follow code for this spot. He even emailed me a variety of options that would work in our space with clickable links, which made the process much easier for me. The exchange was a smooth process and they even waived the return restocking fee as a one-time courtesy. I also spoke with Madison and she was very sweet. Everyone here is so helpful and kind. I'm so grateful this showroom is located in the Bay Area - we are lucky!

BV Electric able to…read moreupdate an old knob-and-tube electrical system to add additional outlets and lines despite being in a 2nd floor condo. Previously there was one two-prong outlet per bedroom, and the 1750sqft condo was on one line. With 4 people living in the condo, this was a disaster because it meant if someone was running the washer or dryer in one room, another person was playing video games or in a Zoom meeting, and a third person had the audacity to attempt to blow-dry their hair or vacuum, the entire condo would lose power and we'd have to navigate down the condo stairs in the dark and outside to reset the breaker. BV Electric put 4 new lines in and 8 or 9 outlets across 4 rooms (the living room and three of the bedrooms) for an affordable price. If we happen to trip a breaker now (which is very rare and our own fault for overloading with too much in one room), at least the entire house doesn't go dark and the Internet remains on as we keep it on a separate line with just the TV. This has saved us a ton of headache, not to mention helped our employment as we stopped spontaneously dropping off business Zoom calls due to losing power across the whole condo.

After messaging them about it, they said they forgot to schedule the actual appointment (!). Next, they scheduled an appointment for Thursday, when they showed up said they couldn't do the job as they didn't bring enough time and need additional components. Left again, rescheduled to Monday (!). And, lo and behold, no-show again on Monday. After 45 mins, I called their office and they simply said something got in the way and they can't help it. Honestly shockingly bad. Can't rate their actual service as I've never received it, just empty promises.
