The Argos website is a bright and cheerful affair, and no matter what you want to buy you will probably find it here somewhere. They have a large and comprehensive lighting section too, with literally hundreds of different lights on offer.
Where can I find the website?
The home page for the Argos site is at www.argos.co.uk. You will find plenty of information on that page alone, with links to important parts of the site as well as to plenty of items you can buy.
How do I find the lighting section of the site?
You will need to click on the Home and Furniture option in the blue menu bar at the top of the page first of all. Once you have done that, you simply need to click on the lighting link you’ll see listed below it.
If you want to go straight to this particular section in the future, make sure you bookmark the following link – http://www.argos.co.uk.
What types and brands of lighting do they offer?
No matter what you need, you’re bound to find something suitable at the Argos website. They stock lighting for all rooms in the home, and have a wide range of ceiling lights, lamps, shades and bulbs for all your needs.
Once you click on a particular section, you will be shown all the products in that section. These are automatically shown with the cheapest light first, but you can change this if you wish. Brands include Inspire, Playboy and the Argos Value Range.
If you select a particular light to find out more about, you will see that the information page for that light is well laid out. There is a large picture of the item included, and a box containing all the relevant details about it, including size and what bulbs are needed. You can also click on the reviews section to see if any previous customers have left comments about the item. This feature can help you in your choice of light fitting.
You can also buy the item for home delivery from this page, or choose to reserve it at your local store. This gets rid of the need to pay for home delivery.
There is also a nice feature which allows you to compare several items side by side. When you are looking at a list of all the different lights available in a particular section, you will notice that there is a ‘compare’ box on the far right hand side. All you need to do is tick the items you want to compare, and then click the compare link itself to be taken into a page which shows all those items side by side. This is very useful and helps to prevent unnecessary flipping between screens all the time.
Are there any buying guides or useful sections of information about lighting?
There isn’t a dedicated lighting buying guide as such, but if you take a closer look at the lighting home page you will see an eco guide. This is worth reading because it gives you the advantages of being more energy efficient in your own home.
And since many light bulbs can now be bought in energy saving models, it is definitely worth saving money as well as energy by investing in these for every single new light fitting you buy.
Is there anything else I should know?
Make sure you pay a visit to the customer services part of the website too. This contains all you need to find out about delivery, getting an item reserved at a store, and much more besides.
In particular there is a big FAQ section which may help you out if this is the first time you have visited the website. And if you are planning to order your lighting from the site, make sure you delve into the returns and refunds part as well. Hopefully you won’t need to know it, but it pays to be prepared.
In conclusion
Argos is a huge company and as such you would expect them to offer a lot of different lights for sale. And indeed they do – on the whole you can look at several hundred different lights to serve all needs and purposes.
There is no danger of missing out on the best deals either. Discounted items appear on the home page of the lighting section, so they certainly aren’t hidden away.
If you need a good selection to choose from and great prices as well, try Argos for size.
