We remodeled our kitchen a few years ago. When I designed our new kitchen one of the items I wanted…read morewas under cabinet lighting. I went to every big box and light store in the metro area. I just could not find what I was looking for. (Said Bono). Either the lights were too bulky or didn't fit my measurements. I could have strung a couple of sets together to run the length of my cabinets but then that would not have looked clean. That is when I found Southern Lights. They say the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Well have you driven south in the evening and see Southern Lights? We worked with Megan who was FANTASTIC! She educated us about the exact set up lights I was looking for. They have LED tape lights that you can actually cut to a custom length. Perfect! Those lights are bright enough to light up my kitchen yet are dimmable too. Megan also showed us some new electrical covers that are not your standard switches. We absolutely love these lights! We've been down to visit Southern Lights a few times over the years and most recently to check out their big tent sale. They have a huge tent sale in the Spring and in the Fall with lots of great deals. I would say if you can't find a light at Southern Lights, then it is just not available. If you need any lights, be sure to check out Southern Lights and be sure to say hello to Megan.

I came here with a friend to help her pick out lighting for her home. She needs overhead lighting…read morefor her bedroom, kitchen, and a fan/light combo for her sunroom. I happily joined to live vicariously through her life successes. And damn! I was blown away by how many beautiful fixtures there are! There was so much that was beyond my imagination. There were modern, vintage, mid-century, and luxury lights. Our style is mid-century modern, and we picked out a few that fit that aesthetic. Though, I would say there were just a few lights in the style. They were also somewhat limited on lighted overhead fan choices. But the best part was the customer service. We were able to build a "wish list" with an associate, where every item that piqued our interested was populated under her new account. There, you can review all of the details and customizations (like color, type of lighting, finish etc). There also seemed to be a lot on sale which was a treat!

I've spent several visits just sat on a bar stool in the shop talking to Charles and Kathryn while Wes walks through and the new puppy tries to get into the showroom. They are lovely people. I've bought some plain pendants with 18 inch hand blown glass globules 'shades' that will cover two bulbs. Charles and Kathryn gave clear advice on all sorts of things while listening to what I was trying to achieve. Excellent. I've also commissioned them to renovate a standard lamp (circa 1920s) that mum and dad bought as a housewarming gift when I moved to Seattle in 2000. Charles and Kathryn loved this and told me that if it was being sold today they'd expect about to get about $2,500 for it. WOW, that's added a couple of zero's onto what mum and dad paid for it! Looking forward to the fixtures being made and arriving

I thought about fixing it myself but decided to hire a pro. Finding a place which restores old lamps which also had good reviews required some research but with the assistance of Yelp. I finally zeroed in on Lightworks. They did an excellent job of restoring my lamp. In addition to replacing the switch they also replaced the cord. They even found a plug which is appropriate to the era (see picture). They are not easy to find. They are located at the back of a rather large building with several tenants. Go north on 14 th Street from East Hennepin about 3 blocks until you reach Winter Street. Keep going straight across Winter on 14 th. It dead ends after about a block and Lightworks is on the left. In addition to repairs they have a nice selection of light fixtures which are restored originals or replicate vintage fixtures. Great if you have an older home. I highly recommend.

I recently visited Lappin Lighting for the first time two weeks ago to look for light fixtures for…read moreour basement remodel. I will admit, at first I was skeptical. I imagined extremely expensive fixtures with no discernable difference from the Big Box stores in quality. Well, I was wrong. From a price standpoint, some fixtures are only slightly more expensive than big boxes. However, the quality of the product and the customer service more than make up for it. We got exactly what we wanted for our project and could not feel better about the decision.

I have been very happy each time I went to Home Depot - the selection was good, checkout was easy (self-checkout), the sales assistants were very helpful and came over right away to check on me to make sure any I wasn't having any difficulties with the check-out process. I especially have enjoyed their sales on succulents as well as their end-of-season sale where I got some excellent deals on plants. The only things I'd recommend are to expand the houseplant section, get a wider variety of plants, and do not offer artificially-dyed plants (e.g., blue or purple plants).

His Friendliness and knowledge of the store was amazing. He helped load my doors and pushed them up front to the Pro center while I finished getting the rest of my list filled. Then he met me in Lumber and helped locate a qualified operator to cut a 4x8 sheet for me and helped the operator cut and load the 2 pieces on my cart. He then helped push my cart to the PRO Cashier and assisted the cashier with applying my MILITARY Discount. Then unbelievably, MASON pushed my cart with 2 doors and other supplies to the loading zone and waited there while I retrieved my vehicle from the front parking area. MASON recruited two other HD EMPLOYEES to assist him and I and proceeded to direct and load my Explorer in a very careful manner. This Young Man MASON should receive your EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR at this FOREST LAKE FACILITY. I have never been treated so wonderful in any type of BOX Store or any type of store.
