It helps to know what you're looking for. I happened to be looking for a light fixture. I got help from Winnie in the fixtures area and she was very nice and efficient. The fixture was reasonably priced based on what I was looking for. My fixtures came fast. The people at the register and pickup area were very nice and also efficient. I heard from another customer that while the other branches are easier to park at, this store has the biggest showroom. It's not fancy but if you know what you're looking for, it's a great place to get EVERYTHING related to electrical supplies.

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!

Rather than buying new lights, I've been retrofitting dilapidated vintage lights into our cottage. One of the light mechanisms in an old factory pen lamp was screwed up more than I could decipher with a voltmeter. I brought the offending light to Berkeley Lighting, and they dove in and fixed the problem with only a little bit of digging through the spare bits of a hardware box. I am pleased beyond belief, and I know where I'll be going the next time I need to purchase lighting.

I bought Elco recessed lighting and DiodeLed Streamlite lighting for a kitchen remodel and I am very happy with the results and seamless look. This shop is really the best when you need expert, friendly and well priced lighting solutions.

There's a reason Kevin at Bay Electric has nothing but five star reviews. I reached out to him…read morebecause I had a particularly complicated EV charger install project that other electricians said would be either impossible or cost too much to complete. Kevin was the only vendor who came out in person and gave me an honest and fair quote for what it would take to get it done. What I appreciated the most before we got started with the project is that he didn't charge me when he needed to come back a couple of times to finalize the work and materials needed, as well as ensure that he had the access he needed When he started the work, it was clear he would easily be the most experienced electrician I've ever worked with. He showed up exactly when he said he would and got the work done in exactly the amount of time he projected it would take. Even more importantly, the project passed inspection without any issues. I'd work with him again in a heartbeat and have recommend him to friends who are looking for a competent and honest electrician in the city.

They were professional, but never pushed us to spend or exceed an our budget. So really listened to our needs. I would rather spend a little extra on my purchase to get the time, effort and quality product I want and need for my home, as opposed to trying to buy at a big box store were there's no help or even good choices! It was a pleasure shopping here.

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.

Anthony has an excellent eye for design, and was very helpful with suggestions for spacing and placement. He was also sure to take care of all the details, including removing existing speakers and lights that would no longer fit and properly patching up holes.

No sales push just attentive service. Brought in my beloved old clinic standing lamp from its many years of service at a city Hospital and for decades in my exam room. A big heavy white lamp that shone light on countless patients. It's been a star in my home but needed care. It had been put out on the sidewalk with other old hospital items as they were replaced by new modern pieces. Michael thinks it from the 1950's. He appreciated its history and meaning and explained how it worked mechanically and what he could do. He repaired it within 2 days!!! and truly appreciated this gem of a workhorse! And he carried it out to my car as it was too heavy for me. What a great experience. You won't be sorry to take your business here!

Best service and quality! I can't say enough good things about the owner s care and welcome.read more
