How do you decide which lighting stores to list?

Every listing is evaluated against our published five-pillar methodology — reputation and review quality, service-area expertise, licensing and compliance, digital presence, and cross-platform consistency. We do not invent ratings or review counts.

Can a lighting store pay to rank higher?

Some listings are sponsored. They are always labeled Sponsored, and sponsorship does not change rank, awards, or how we evaluate the business.

Do I need a city shortlist to hire a lighting store?

City shortlists roll out one market at a time. Until one exists, use the what-we-look-for notes and red flags on this page to vet a local lighting store yourself.

Lighting Stores Directory

A lighting store should be able to spec a lamp and a layout, not only sell a fixture photo. We evaluate lighting suppliers on trade vs. retail inventory, LED retrofit experience, reviews around orders and returns, and whether energy-audit or design help is actually staffed.

Lighting Stores by city

City shortlists for lighting stores are rolling out city by city. In the meantime, here's exactly what we look for — and what to avoid — so you can vet one yourself with confidence.
