The glass lampshade on a floor lamp had been broken. I spent hours online trying to find a replacement to no avail. After visiting another lighting store they suggested I go to Omega. Eric patiently looked through catalogs to find the right fit. Once they received it, he sandblasted the glass to replicate the finish of the original one. It is perfect. I really appreciate Eric's willingness to go the extra step to replicate the shade and make the lamp look like new. read more

I took an ancient lamp over to be repaired - it has been next to my bed for 80 years! They diagnosed the problem as a switch and kept the lamp to replace that. It cost $45.00 which was a little more than I expected but the lamp works properly now and is again lighting the space in my bedroom read more

I inherited an electric lamp so old that it doesn't even have a switch. I assumed it was made for bronze because it was all one tone. All I asked for was to make it go on and off again and replace the scary looking cloth cord. They replaced the Core all right with one that still has the old-fashioned look to it. They also cleaned it and found colors that I didn't imagine read more

Fixed a light fixture (scone) that was part of a set in my living room. I didn't want to replace all the scones. My electrician recommended Omega and they were able to fix it.(some internal part needed to be replaced). read more

Best vintage light store in the Bay Area. If you prefer vintage lights over replicas, this is the the store.

Went into to this lovely place to see what was wrong with my lamp- turns out it was the LED bulb, umm...duh??! Wonderful store and he gave me a new bulb for free. Please check here for lighting or repair needs it's a great local business. read more

I had a small task lamp that wasn't working. Eric quickly determined that the LED bulb had come apart, removed the piece that was stuck in the fixture, and tested the fixture to see if it worked - which it did. I tried to buy a bulb but they don't carry many LED lights so they didn't have one on hand, but Eric wouldn't charge me for his time. Highly recommend this store for their service! read more

The owner's name is Mark not Mike. My bad!!! Anyhoo Mark is a wonderful person to do business with. Very smart and knowledgeable guy. read more

I just bought a beautiful antique oil lamp there with crystals that was on consignment. The owner added a new plug for me too and a beautiful speciality light bulb . read more

I was just looking for Vanessa's email address and see I've never left a review. Why is that? This place is truly a Bay Area treasure, and I always find so many lovely things to admire and/or be inspired by here. The owners are really creative as well and can help you customize a lot of things. I've gotten 5 sconces and two ceiling lights here as well as some random hardware (pulls, switchplate covers) and towel bars. Everything from historic to modern, collectible to not, and really wonderful unique surprises. You will find more than just lighting, and you will be able to collaborate on a unique design from scratch and maybe even found objects and materials. read more

I was on a hunt for the perfect light for our victorian here in oakland.

I eyeball measured and lucked out after install the screen door cleared the fixture by within inch! I highly recommend a visit! Thank you! read more

Mark is so knowledgeable, he helped me with fixing my night light and explained what type of wiring was inside and the reason it burned out as well as what may happen as years progress. Support this business, these type of stores are few and far between. My Tiffany style lamp purchased in the early 2000s needed a cord rewire, the job was done seamlessly and now has 2 different levels of brightness to choose from, previously it only had 1 option. So pleased with them. Wish you much success. read more

We have purchased and repaired many light fixtures over the years and our experience has always been outstanding. In fact, one of the features I love best about my home are the antique lights that now grace many of the rooms. More recently we have been using them (Vanessa) for design assistance. She is wonderful: efficient, very knowledgeable, responsive and with many resources at her fingertips. She has an amazing esthetic and a great personality. She is also incredibly smart and is undaunted by the many problems that arise in this process, no doubt in part because of her extensive experience. I do not post reviews generally but this outfit ranks so highly for us it seemed wrong not to. read more

Amazingly unique fixed up Art Deco, Victorian, and some modern chandeliers and fixtures. Goes great with our old Victorian. Bought 2 pieces, one of which they're customizing to be out door. Def will be back. Staff was very helpful. Looking forward to coming back for our dining room chandelier. read more

In COMPLETE AWE from the moment we stepped into this treasure trove of lighting possibilities; truly endless what these craftsmen can create based on anyone's imagination. They are top notch at making lighting dreams come true! Go visit and just window shop! Before you know iI, you too will be smack dab in the middle of their own unique Walt Disney lighting creation garden! read more

This may be the best lighting and design store on the West Coast--and that isn't hyperbole. A guest has not come into our recently remodeled kitchen and not had a compliment about the lights. "They're bespoke," I explain. "But is that a some kind of transmission part," my gear head friend asks, looking at an accent on the dangling pendent. "Yes, from a '49 Chrysler," I answer. "Our designer found out I like old cars." If you want one-of-a-kind illumination, come here. They have a beautiful showroom with lots of unique inventory. Or, do what we did and have them make you something completely custom. We have two unique pendents and seven sconces, so far. There are three rooms to go--dining, library and master bath--and we'll lighting them at Omega. No question. read more

I love this place for sourcing all kinds of lighting pieces, both vintage and special designs. This time I went to Omega needing a quick fix of a vintage fixture...it just needed a little repair, a little creativity and a little patience and I got all three from Mark on the spot in minutes and he wouldn't take a dime. Don't go there looking for free stuff though! We need to keep this jewel in business for the long haul!! read more

Was just in today and am yet again amazed at the selection, great prices, and helpfulness of the team. A gem of a lighting store.

I have purchased several lighting fixtures from Omega over the years, for homes in San Francisco and Petaluma. Lovely people, experts, extremely committed to quality work and meeting customer needs. Recently I purchased a lovely milk glass fixture from Omega. I now live north of Seattle, so I was worried about it getting here without breaking, but Omega did a great job of packing the fixture for delivery. It's already up in my dining room and looks great. (see photo.) Omega is a very special place. read more

I searched for a place that has reputable work and that would also guide me on what and what not to do on a restoration. I found this place on Google and read the reviews there and on Yelp. The owner made his suggestions and I gave him my concerns. Any business is not perfect and there was a few miscommunications, HOWEVER, I appreciate a business that clarifies things and makes it right (all within reason). I try to choose quality and they truly show this. I drove 2 hours one way to take pick up the fixture and take it to Omega lighting. I am very pleased with the way everything turned out. I would recommend this place to anyone and I am happy I made the drive out to them since this is a family heirloom. Thank you for being a one of a kind business, your customer service and for your creativity!! My late 1950's chandelier is finally restored and rewired. "Who would have thought 60 years later a 3rd generational heir would be using this." #OneOfaKind #MadeInSpain #Authentic #Vintage #Brass read more

While renovating my 1912 home I found treasures here for many rooms. I continue to admire and enjoy my purchases and visit the store even if I have no particular project to shop for. Its my special place. read more

A real gem. Light fixtures new and vintage. Also many vintage sinks and mirrors for your bath. Wonderful state of the art lightening store, gorgeous hard to find lighting fixtures, super helpful knowledgeable friendly staff. They can fix almost any lamp and repurpose it as well. Simply phenomenal place- the way life used to be when there was wonderful treasure trove of one of the kind items US or European made. read more

These guys are fantastic; creative, helpful and reasonable! They re-made an old chandelier and cleaned it beautifully. Today I came in needing a new switch for a light and they fixed it on the spot. I can't say enough about how great they are! read more

Thanks Mark! I thought of Omega when I needed a very specific light bulb and because of Covid-19, was reluctant to go into a store and search for a replacement. I sent him a photo of the bulb and he found the perfect replacement. I purchased eight of them over the phone and just had to run in and pick up the order. This was not an expensive order but he treated it as if it was! Also, a few years ago, we needed the sockets of two 15 year old over-the-sink light fixtures replaced. He did a great job. Highly recommend Omega Lighting! read more

I don't think I can say enough about Omega One or Two. If you can dream it, they've probably got it. If you've pulled your hair out trying to find on the intar-webs, they probably have several kinds. Simply put, if you want home items, specifically the building blocks of any good home abode then this is the place you have to go. This is like Home Depot meets the greatest wrecking yard ever conceived of for vintage, unique, hard to find, impossibly beautiful craftsman home details and architectural pieces you can imagine. Our home has a small cut out viewing door called a SpeakEasy door. I went to Hundleys (FAIL), called high and low looking for this rare piece of hardware, searched the web and no dice. I finally called Omega and viola, they had two pieces and one that was a near match for our door, closer than anything we had seen in catalogs or online. Not to mention the folks here are super cool, took pictures of the pieces and emailed them to me and have handy individuals that can do custom metal and cabinetry. I mean really what more do you need? read more

Absolutely love this store. My husband and I spent over an hour looking at all of the unique fixtures - from funky to formal. We are currently remodeling our kitchen, and the owner was very helpful and provided some great ideas on different styles of pendants and fixtures. He totally got our style and what we were looking for. Now my only problem is I want to upgrade all of my fixtures. Highly recommend! read more

I can't rave enough about Omega! I came into their shop after visiting all the big lighting businesses in SF and the East Bay as well as several boutique lighting shops around the bay area. I had a difficult lighting challenge to solve and not one place could help me. When I walked into Omega, I was greeted immediately by a helpful staff and at that point met Judi. Judi didn't have an immediate "NO, we can't help you," but instead, listened to me and then came up with a creative solution. Not only that, but she personally babysat and participated in the creation of a custom lighting solution that I desperately needed. The level of customer service at Omega is impressive, to say the least. I'm now a loyal customer forever. Thanks, Judi! read more

I've long ogled their gorgeous, gorgeous (if pricey) lighting from all eras - and I finally bought one of their customized funky-industrial numbers (marrying an old-timey photographer's stand to a pearly globe) a few months ago. Too bad it was way too large and clashed with everything in my house - I had to return it, though absolutely no worries from Omega Too. Recently I asked them to rewire, replace the sockets, and generally retrofit a few lovely old fixtures: an arts and crafts pendant and an art deco chandelier. Fabulous! Blaine did a fantastic job, made an effort to charge us as little as possible, took into consideration our aesthetic concerns, and did it so quickly I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around it! Get them to rewire anything you've got! They'll actually return your phone calls, too - unlike Dogfork, which completely blew me off. read more

I wonder if they'd let me move in? Great stuff, probably too pricey for me to take home (hence the having to move in), with friendly staff that smiles and says hello to let you know they are available, but doesn't follow you around, hovering. They even told me to feel free to take photos, which I thought was really cool. I am drooling over an old chicken feeder turned light, and might have to bite the bullet and pick it up. I mean, it's a chicken feeder. read more

Mark helped us design lighting fixtures for the renovation of our Victorian home. They really made our bedroom and bathroom pop. Definitely worth the trip. read more

This company was a total hit for us. Vanessa pulled a 1930's slip shade out of her hat that worked perfectly on a fixture I thought would just have to remain a bare bulb or be replaced entirely. It was beautiful - and rare - and reasonably priced. Her shop is so chock full of unusual period finds - not just lighting - that we spent far more time just taking it all in than expected. I was able to find an Art Deco item for my bathroom that was only available online - from the UK. Omega was a jackpot for us and we'll be back. read more

Great place. Good ideas and energy. Sent photos of possible lights as I couldn't get there myself.

I never spoke to Mark B the Owner. I never specifically asked for my chandelier to "make just like new" ever in my original conversation when I brought the light in. I specifically asked for a broken socket to be fixed as I exclaimed what a gorgeous antique light fixture I owned! The light was a combination of patina brass and patina brushed steel. Omega Lighting took the patina off the brass. When the workshop called me I told them that all my lights had the patina of Baldwin Hardware Finish 050 Which is Satin Brass and Black. My light never had a nickel finish that was pitted and rubbing off in places. No one ever walked me through the work upon pick up. The light was tightly wrapped in plastic. The saleswomen carried the heavy light out to my car and packed it in my trunk for me. I saw the light the first time when my contractor unpacked it and hung it. It was never explained to me that payment was acceptance of the work done. I did not come back a month later. I picked up the light on 12/21/2018. My contractor unpacked the light, hung the light and repacked the light on 12/24/2018. Then the holidays happened. I returned the light Wednesday, 1/2/2019. I have proof of all my claims. I have close up pictures of my original brushed steel patina and brass patina light before you destroyed it. I will bring to court the awful shiny pitted nickel plating you put on my light and the destroyed brass patina. Vanessa B lied when I tried to return the light. Mark B is lying in his Yelp response. The Peoples Court TV Program wanted to nationally televise our court case but Omega Lighting refused to defend itself on national television. We have a court date on March 19th in Small Claims Court. See you there. read more

I had a light fixture where I needed a new longer cord made. I called several other local shops before Omega; all the shops did not have either the cord or the expertise to replace the cord. I wish I would have called Omega first! Mark was excellent, he had the patience and experience to offer me a couple of options to remedy the repair. Even better he was able to replace the cord right there on the spot. Talk about perfect timing. I will for sure be back. Thanks Mark! read more

When you have something difficult to rewire, you're wasting you time if you go anywhere else. I've had these guys take over a project from someone else, and rewire 2 other fixtures. Take awhile, but reasonable price and clearly experts. read more

I go to every lighting store in town, and no one can match the style and diversity of this store. Excellent customer service and repair work, even small questions. Some of my most precious objects in my home, my copper lamp with glowing jewels, a see-through bead lamp (custom made at Omega) that reflects stars on my ceiling, my second-hand modern bathtub (yes they sell bathroom fixtures) deep as a Japanese tub. Unlike another store with a shorter, but similar name who buys items dirt cheap from locals and sells at exorbitant prices, I prefer Omegatoo's fair prices for restored and custom ordered lights. Just fun to drop in to see the beauty of lights and authentic craftsmanship. read more

This place is wonderful, great selection of light fixtures and other items, and we have bought several things from them for our home remodel. However, their salespeople can be incredibly grumpy and difficult to deal with. I just had a conversation on the phone with Bella, who was unhelpful and condescending when I explained that an expensive fixture we bought from them is defective and cannot be installed. Instead of offering to help, we engaged in a frustrating conversation, and she ended up asking me "what would you like me to do?" Um, hello, perhaps provide some customer support, you know, as in proactively figuring out how to replace the defective parts instead of acting as if I am interrupting your coffee break! read more

I have to give it to them: within just two days of my posting this review, Omega Lighting contacted me, offering a refund for the $20 modification of my fixture. Seems there was an oversight in communication--hence the charge. I appreciate both the gesture and its swiftness--it confirms my initial great impression of this business. Good people, truly beautiful merchandise. I'm sure I'll be back. read more

We hadn't been to the store in a few years but returned yesterday in order to introduce a friend to this treasure trove of "one offs" and "hard to finds". They have an amazing inventory of lighting fixtures both in their original beauty, as well as cobbled into a brand of beauty somehow new and yet still distinctly vintage. While we were showing our friend what was available for her project, a sink caught our eye (they have those as well) which we wanted to buy, though unfortunately it did not come in antique white as we desired. We considered another sink as a second choice but weren't quite sure of either the sink design nor whether the antique-ish color in question (puzzlingly called "balsa") would match our existing tile and fixtures. The woman who helped us (Bella) was so kind and helpful that she actually removed their in-store porcelain sample from the manufacturer's ordering catalogue, and told us we could take it home if we promised to return it. She even wrote out a self addressed padded envelope and attached postage. She was so helpful that my wife and I actually felt bad when, after further contemplation, we decided the second choice sink was not quite right for us. Sorry we didn't settle on the purchase Bella, but thanks for being so helpful. Your porcelain sample is on its way back to the store. read more

Wow! I was so impressed with the store's product quality and customer service. I just remodeled my kitchen and needed a variety of fixtures and ordered them all here after carefully researching on-line and other local storefront options. They helped me select and custom built six lights, three with fabric shades, and three with glass shades. Perfect execution and very competitive pricing. It was a pleasure each time I visited the store. The designers produce a wide range of creative re-purposed, retro, modern, rustic, and craftsman lights, all unique one-offs. Extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of lighting from nuts and bolts to decorating touches. read more
