Globe Lighting

Given that I have a personal obsession with mid century lighting and illuminated pieces it isn’t surprising that I would enjoy this business. Lights of all sorts — from conventional home/​office/​bathroom lighting to pieces that bordered on art — I was thoroughly impressed with the selection and range of prices. Nightlights, pendants, sconces and chandeliers. Modern, classic, glittery, conversation pieces, and even a clearance room — they have it all. But more than just the goods, the service, helpfulness, lack of pressure and knowledge of their staff was exceptional.
Between the glowing feelings I had for both goods and service I highly recommend shopping here if you are lacking in light or just want to enjoy a necessity in the Pacific Northwest and take it to another level in your abode or business.

I wanted to update all my living room and dining room lighting but I was on a pretty strict budget. I first went to Home Depot but found nothing I liked, so I decided to go into Globe Lighting to get some ideas. I was surprised to find the prices were comparable and the bonus was I got courteous, expert advice on how to meet the needs I had. Great place to shop.

I love this store because the staff are always courteous, interested in my project, and completely professional. If an issue arises and you need to resolve something, they treat you respect, and respond as quickly as possible to make it right.
I want to give a big shout out to Jeannie & Michael for all their help today! If you need lighting for your home or business, this is place to go! :)

These folks saved me today by fixing a lamp they 1) had not sold me and 2) not charging for the fix.

I love shopping here when I need something unusual in the way of lighting. I like the chance to look at the floor models, touch them, see how they could work. I also like the staff, who have been very helpful with finding solutions that work with the space and needs we have. This most recent time, the woman helping us worked with us to find a great solution for the space for a very low price. (Show me someone who sells me a $ 25 light because it will do the job I need, instead of leading me to the much more expensive models — I don’t think I’d have spotted the one she suggested — well, let’s just say I’m grateful! She gave us several choices but I love that she included the cheap-​but-​functional one. The glass on it was all wrong, but it didn’t COME with the glass, that was separate, and she showed us another that would fit it and look great. Sweet!)
I will say that I never want to forget to take my sweatshirt off as I enter again, however. I ended up holding my son (as a two-​year-​old rampaging around a lighting store is not a good idea), so I couldn’t easily take it off later… and a store full of lights, mostly on so that you can see what they look like, is hot. Heh.
They can also modify pieces if needed (we had one that was intended to be hardwired modified to instead plug into an outlet — win!).

I came here in desperate search of Edison bulbs so I could make my own chandelier for my new apartment.
Upon first entrance, I was enamored with this place and all of their fabulous lighting selections.
Then I asked them for help on my project. The guy was an absolute pill to deal with and completely pretentious. I’m sorry I felt like taking on a DIY project instead of overpaying. An older man gave me a vague idea of how to do my project, but the younger guy kept cutting in saying he couldn’t tell me because it was against the law.
I understand that they aren’t certified electricians, but I wasn’t looking to re-​wire anything. Ugh… such a pain…

I’ve shopped at Globe in Lake Oswego since I’ve lived in Oregon. I’ve always had excellent service, paid very reasonable prices and found a wide selection.
I’ve been working with Ann Marie on a commercial interior redesign project. She has been terrific! It’s a somewhat complicated lighting project and she has priced out numerous pieces for me, created several proposals for my client and has done so on time, with a great attitude and enormous expertise.
I recommend Globe Lighting in LO highly — and while everyone I’ve worked with there has been helpful, I’m giving a 2-​thumbs up to Ann Marie!

At the moment, I’m in a fierce battle to beat the 80s out of my home. And there is no better place to start than the light fixtures. Those bare florescent bulbs and mirrored surfaces backed by brass are just not doing it for me.
Since Globe Lighting is one of the larger retailers in the area, it seemed like a good place to start. They have a large selection in the store, although it seems a bit cluttered and overwhelming at times.
Fixtures at this location are generally grouped by category. All the bathroom fixtures are along two walls and organized by finish. Although the selection seemed huge, the employees let us know it is still a fraction of what is available. So if you don’t see exactly what you want, just ask.
I’ve also been browsing their website which is pretty user friendly and I like the suggestions (‘you may also like’) when you pull up items.
What always takes the longest is negotiating a compromise with your partner when you have different design styles. I’m trying to get Mr. K on board with a contemporary version of a dungeon chandelier.
The rating would be higher, but the Clackamas location is a far nicer showroom. Once I discovered that location, my opinion of the Lake Oswego location was diminished.
