In the same vein as the old "Scotch Tape Store" skit on Saturday Night Live, it's easy to scoff at the notion of a lightbulb store but I've been looking for a hard to find replacement for my porch light. They had it. Honestly, it would have been much easier to replace the entire fixture but in the immortal words if George Carlin... "The genius of America is being able to find a left handed nasal inhaler with your state motto on it." Five very easy stars. read more

The owner solved our lightbulb issue by "fixing" the socket so that regular light bulbs could be used. We were impressed by the selection and knowledge about lightbulbs. I recommend this store to anyone in need of a lightbulb solution! It is priceless to us! read more

Great service! I was able to find beautiful lightbulbs for my home. Thank you, Larry!!! read more

The Lightbulb Store - Can u see the light?!?! - Lighting Fixtures & Equipment Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

This store has everything! I needed an outdoor light to replace the one over my garage and bought an LED rechargeable that triggers from motion. I was blown away by how bright the light actually is! I also wanted to replace all of my hi-hat lights (about 24) with LED lights to save on energy and not have to replace them any more. I got a great price and when I changed all of the lights, the new LEDs were perfect. They even worked well when I dim them. read more

This is the WORST store I ever went to! I went there to replace my halogen bulbs with LED bulbs, and Larry, the owner, sold me the wrong bulbs TWICE. I went there with specific information from the Lighting Store on the exact bulbs to get, but Larry ignored my information. When I went back the second time to return them, he claimed they worked and refused to give me my money back. Larry is rude and obnoxious. He claimed he could prove they were the correct bulbs, but NEVER DID! Instead, he cursed at me as I left the store, and I returned the verbal abuse. Clearly, he makes his money by selling people the wrong bulbs and then not giving them their money back. He also doesn't give receipts. TOTAL ASSHOLE! GO SOME PLACE ELSE TO GET WHAT YOU NEED! read more

I purchased bulbs two weeks ago. They weren't working properly. I brought them beck for a refund. I didn't have my receipt. The first young man was trying to be helpful but the older rude, obnoxious older man was extremely unpleasant and unprofessional and when I asked "Whatever happened to 100% satisfaction or return for a full refund?" He replied "Home Depot has that policy. We don't!" This is the manager of a fairly new business. I work with approximately 130 interior designers and hundreds of clients. I am notorious for calling and complimenting services. I am also notorious for slamming bad business people or their employees. read more

This has a lot of specialty/novelty-like lights that you may not be able to find in hardware stores. It is more expensive than the hardware store, but if you're in a pinch this is a good spot to try. The cons are that the staff could be friendlier and parking is confusing. I've gotten boxed in a few times because people park right behind you. read more

I went into the store and tried to explain to the man that I believe is the owner what I was looking for and that I had called on the phone to discuss what I was looking for prior. He was incredibly patronizing and spoke down to me. Even the other person working in the store told him to stop. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Terrible experience! With advice from person who works there I bought bulbs that didn't fit my lamp. I only bought it because I was told that I would be able to return if it didn't fit. After I came back employee refused to give me money back, instead said take store credit or go home. read more

Literally a light bulb store , they do have ballasts and stuff if you need. The staff is definitely helpful when I go in. The pricing is cheap also so I have no complaints here. When they tell you the bulbs last for years they're not lying, I literally come here once in a blue moon read more

The Lightbulb Store - Wide selection of bulbs - Lighting Fixtures & Equipment Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

The Lightbulb Store was referred by a salespeople at a local lighting store who said they can fix just about anything and he was absolutely right. The manufacturer of my track light fixture told me the burned out sockets in the lamps could not be replaced and I'd have to replace all of lamps - not true! The Lightbulb Store was able to replace the sockets and voila - they saved me hundreds of $. Thanks to Whitney and the fellow who was able to make the repairs. In addition, Whitney suggested using LED rather than Halogen bulbs, I had reservations because of how they would look and she encouraged me to buy a few, take them home and try them. She assured me that if I didn't like the way they looked they could be returned. No issues, I was able to return them and she took them back with a friendly smile. I highly recommend their business to anyone in need of bulbs, parts or repairs. I'll use them again in a heartbeat! read more

Great store great service a lot of options in inventory in stock I got a good price on 12 V LED for my van and I'm very happy with that works good and the price is good read more

Needed special sized bulbs for my chandelier and they shipped them to me in Iowa. All arrived safely, worked and have a few extras for reserve. I got tired of my hubby traipsing back and forth to the local big box stores with all the wrong bulbs. read more

I was looking for two types of Bulbrite nostalgic bulbs. the first was NOS20T9 which i received and paid $12.67 each for a total of 10 bulbs. The second type of bulb was NOS25T6/SQ/E12. A small candelabra base bulb. At first they did not quote me a price but they mentioned that they would call me once they found out the price to confirm if I wanted to place the order. They did call me and quoted me $5.82 a bulb. I agreed and placed an order for 25. I Placed the the order on a Monday and i was promised to receive it by Thursday of the same week. Guess what? I had to wait till the Following Wednesday. The biggest issue is that they made a HUGE mistake on the invoice. They charged me $12.67 for all 35 bulbs I purchased. On my invoice you can clearly see that the price for the smaller bulbs was originally written down as $12.67 but then crossed out to $5.82. But sure enough they did the math at 25x$12.67. I called several time and the airhead lady that answers the phone didn't want to hear it because according to her I should have checked the invoice before leaving. you can google NOS25T6/SQ/E12 and you will see that those bulbs are in the $6 dollar range... Shame on you people.. read more

An example of a place doing one thing, but doing it extremely well. The Lightbulb Store is just that, a store that pretty much just sells lightbulbs. The byproduct of this specialization is great expertise and selection. Hard-to-find and obsolete bulbs or adaptors are seemingly routine. Wholesale pricing is icing on the cake! read more

Bought three 250 watt photography bulbs in person on my first trip. SLOW counter service but no one else in the area seemed to have them so I waited 15 minutes for the one customer before me to finish and then paid the extra bucks they charge over NYC stores.. The second time I used them was for three 500 watt bulbs which they did not have in stock so I had to wait 2 days. When I picked them up there was AN ADDITIONAL $10.00 charge on my bill for shipping. "David" insisted that he has told me this on the phone but he did not. Had he; I would have just bought the bulbs at B&H Photo the next time I was in NYC and saved $10.00+ but I needed the bulbs for a shoot later that day, and he was obnoxiously stubborn so I had no choice. HOW DOES IT COST $10 to ship 3 very light light bulbs anyway? As I left pissed off, the guy behind the counter (looks like Randy Quaid) wished me a smarmy "nice day." No doubt he had seen his share of pissed ripped off customers before and knew I'd never be back. By the way, if you're epileptic - STEER CLEAR. The inside of the place is lit up with flashing and crackling bulbs like an amusement park on steroids. I almost had a seizure as I waited, and waited, and waited and waited..... Hot as hell too with all those light bulbs on in there.. As a last resort, and if you have plenty of time to waste standing around, and plenty extra cash for PADDED SHIPPING costs - give em a try! read more

Today's lighting technology is such that a good bulb will last you a very very long time. That's great, and the prices get ever lower, which is also wonderful. The one regret about all this progress: my pilgrimages to the Light Bulb Store to stock up on whatever I need and to learn about the newest most efficient lighting possibilities are restricted to once every couple years. This place is like a museum or learning center, in addition to being a bulb store. They know everything, they answer all questions, it's a quirky and refreshing experience - not to be duplicated on just any street corner. I really appreciate having it nearby and I enjoy recommending their products and their endless array of stock to others. Come here to save money, save the planet, brighten your life, and learn something. read more

Don't ever shop here. We went in to buy 4 light bulbs. The salespeople were friendly and recommended that we buy a more expensive LED brand costing $122 but they said they were very long lasting. We agreed and they went into the back and packaged the 4 bulbs. When we got home we discovered they were not compatible with our dimmer. They never once warned us or asked us if we had a dimmer switch. We tried to return them and they refused to take them back. Not only that but they were rude and arrogant. We would have purchased the 4 lights we needed that did work but they refused to honor the return. We will never go back there. read more
