Great experience going in. The staff was knowledgeable about their products and what would be good for you. Unfortunately I cant give them 5 stars due to issues with customer service.
Their policy is that they don't call their customers to relay information. I ordered a product that was due within a week. I received no phone call the day the item was due. The next day I physically went in to check, I was told the item had been back ordered and was 3 weeks out. Why no phone call? Their response was "we have so much going on we can't call everyone".

A phone call could have saved them a sale and potential future customer and recommendation. Instead you insult them by saying "thanks for keeping it local" as they walk out. No, thank you for showing how much you actually care about...

Upon further inspection the fixtures were deemed not worth to fix. I was very impressed that Northern Lights wasn't just after a sale and they tried to help me with a more affordable option. I ended up selecting two very stunning fixtures that are period correct for my 1905 home, of great quality and even a great price! These will be much more beautiful and much higher quality than what I...
Read moreRead moreMike and Joe are the best. They really helped me along in my first lighting project as I ran into various technical issues, and we all learned a lot along the way (like not all brand track lighting is interchangeable, despite the same technical specs). If you are upgrading to LEDs, it will really help you to be an informed consumer as the LED market is changing rapidly. Read about color rendering index and TM-30 standards. For example, if you have a saturated color scheme (reds, oranges), you want high color rendering (CRI) of 90+ for lights with an R9 value 50. Lighting companies may only provide this type of data to an authorized dealer like Northern Lights, so it's great we have them around. 1000% support this...
