While many department stores and smaller shops stock a good range of lighting, there are also companies which focus on providing the best range of items in this subject area. One such offering is the Light In Style website, and you will certainly be spoilt for choice here!
Where can I find the website?
The Light In Style website is housed at www.lightinstyle.co.uk. The home page gives just a brief taster of what is to come.
How do I find the lighting section of the site?
The whole website is the lighting section – it’s merely a case of working out which department you want to visit first. Take a look at the options as they are laid out on in that left hand column and pick one to start with.
What types and brands of lighting do they offer?
They have specific departments for all the top favourites, such as ceiling lights, downlighters, floor lamps and much more besides. They also have a section for dimmer kits and lighting fascias, so there is plenty to browse through while you are on the site.
Each section normally contains a series of sub-sections that make it easier to search for what you need. For example, if you browse through the ceiling lights section you will see that you can choose from suspended lighting, or perhaps lights that fit flush to the ceiling, if that is more what you are after.
Franklite is a name that constantly comes up in association with the lights on this website, but there isn’t a very wide choice of brand names here. However the style and depth of the range is quite remarkable, and you will undoubtedly find just what you need when you look into the various sections in more depth. You can glance through the manufacturers represented on the site by clicking on the drop down box in the top left hand corner of the screen.
When you find something you like, you will be able to look at a description of the item, plus read the basis features it has, such as the overall size. The picture can be enlarged if you wish, and unlike many websites of this type the enlargement is actually very clear and gives you a better idea of the detail of the item.
You will also see that if you have any concerns or queries about any item that you see, you simply need to ask. There is a button next to each item which enables you to ask a question about it, and you will receive a reply via email. The good thing about this is that any previous questions that have been raised concerning any particular item are then posted underneath it to help other potential customers.
Are there any buying guides or useful sections of information about lighting?
There are no particular sections like this at the present time. All the information given is on each individual product page, so if there is anything else you wish to know you would need to contact the company directly. You can find their details under the ‘contact us’ section of the website.
Is there anything else I should know?
Your shopping basket is shown in the top right hand corner of the screen. You will see a clickable link underneath this which gives you access to the page concerning delivery charges.
The company has been praised for its fast delivery – sometimes next day – but you should not rely on this. However, all the approximate delivery timings and charges are included on this page. They will also give you an idea of how things will proceed if you should find that any light you receive doesn’t work. In short, if you need to know anything at all about the delivery process you can expect to find it here.
In conclusion
Light In Style is obviously a well established business that keeps its customers happy no matter how many or few lights they wish to order. The website itself is easy and pleasant to negotiate, and the fact that you can search for all types of lighting offered by a particular manufacturer is a good extra feature that is not always provided by others.
If you are planning on buying several lights for your home in the near future, make sure you sign up for their email list too. This way you can keep up with what’s new at the Light In Style website.
