Shop Smart - Save Money on Besa lighting

I chose this light fixture for a media room with deep chocolate brown walls. I wanted a fun, modern fixture. While it is that it is rather cheap looking when the lights are not on. The metal is more of a copper looking metal which appears really cheap, as opposed to a crisp stainless steel which I expected. When the light is on it looks great and these subtle flaws are missed. The glass has a smoky appearance and you can dim the light behind (if placed on a dimmer) to give it a misty affect. The hardware behind is mounted onto a white plate which can be seen if you mount the fixture to high and look up. Ok in a media room for limited usage and dark walls but wouldnt recommend for a prominent place in the house.

It's nice that it comes with a bulb. Be aware that the on/off switch is a rocker-switch on the cord itself. It has retro style with retro (good)quality. It was also cheaper here than from other sellers online.

I really like how this lamp looks. It's modern looking, well made, and tall which was one of my specific needs in a lamp. You can adjust the dome quite a bit in either direction which helps with reading or tasks. Super easy to put together, I did it in minutes. I highly recommend this lamp.

I am really happy with this fixture. The bathroom it is in does not have super high ceilings and this hangs only slightly, so it is a nice fit. The only surprise is that the frosted glass has a very slight greenish tint. Normally, this probably would go unnoticed, but because I have a vanity fixture over the sink that has white frosted glass, it is noticeable to me.

Easy shopping experience. We tried a variety of cheaper options from other stores but these bedside lights are the best and worth the extra money. The dimmer switches work well and provide great low light as well as stronger light for reading. Only one small issue is that they are not cool to touch, and presumably that is due to the high wattage of the lights - So they do heat up and so you need to use the small leaver to tilt the head, rather than touching it.

Despite the pun, this lamp is "light" on the wallet. I searched store and the Internet and got the best price (and free shipping) at Lighting Universe. For this quality lamp, you can't do better. It was super quick and easy to put together and it comes with a lamp shade despite the small size of the box. [Be careful purchasing lamps as many times the shade isn't part of the package.] This lamp has beautiful wood, a nice quality linen shade with fringe, and a three way bulb for increasing light intensity. Despite its light weight, its broad base makes it steady and unlikely to fall over. This lamp looks good in any decor. I highly recommend it!

We unsuccessfully searched numerous lighting stores in our area to find a torchiere light with a 300 watt halogen bulb to replace an old light. The one I ordered over the internet from Lighting Universe fit the bill perfectly. It arrived extremely well-packed, assembled easily, was well-priced and works extremely well. We are very happy with our purchase.

I purchased this lamp in antique bronze which has the muted gold look I was after (I didn't want a shiny gold). Assembly was easy and the lamp worked immediately. The included bulb burned out rather fast (2 weeks perhaps) but the replacement bulb I put in is doing fine. Changing the bulb is a bit of a hassle because the heat guard can be difficult to reattach after replacing the bulb. Not a deal breaker in any way, just not the best designed feature.

We've had these in our kitchen for about one year. They were bought as a replacement for halogen puck lights installed by a previous owner. This product is much higher quality than what they replaced. Better instructions - especially for how to install in series - would have been nice. The only other comment - blue - these are way blue. It gives the kitchen a nice cool look, but not quite what we were anticipating.

We found this fixture to be easy to install, good quality and a nice fit in our kitchen. The only fault was with the cathedral ceiling mount which fell apart prior to installation thus I had to rig my own mount. The fixture was a little smaller then we expected, however, we would purchase it again.

This lamp is absolutely gorgeous! A modern look that works with both fabric and leather furniture. This lamp would fit any home decore except if you have antique style furniture.

I bought 2 for my living room, and they match perfectly with my black leather sofa, love seat and chair. I put in energy saver bulbs that give off 60 watts of bright white light while using only 9 watts each and it's just amazing!!! Very easy to put together. All you need is a small screwdriver (for the base) which comes with the lamp anyway! Each lamp took me literally 5 minutes to set up.

The only thing that was a little inconvenient was that the switch for the lamp is not anywhere ON the lamp, but rather attached to the power cord. So you kinda have to reach down to turn it on, or in my case I worked the cord in a way to have the switch sit at the corners of the end tables in front of each lamp. Still it looks great and works great!!

We wanted contemporary fixtures that would still appeal to our 6 year old son, we installed this in his study nook and the matching semi-flush mount as his main light. He loves them because it looks like the glass is held in place by little silver claws which works great with all his dinosaur stuff. :-) I think these would look lovely anywhere though, very classy affordable and elegant fixtures.

These lamps were exactly the natural, tropical look that I was hoping for. Narrow and tall. Just perfect. The only thing you should be aware of is that because the shades are wood, the light is very filtered. The light that comes through is a beautiful accent light but not at all for a primary light source.

This is a great lamp. Stylish, substantial, and a great bronze tone that isn't too dark, but blends well with traditional or contemporary furnishings. Only one problem - the set screws that secure the base to the tube up to the bulb were too small for the predrilled holes, so they fell right into the base. I have had to take the lamp for a minor repair, to replace those set screws. Otherwise, it's great.

This lamp is very cheaply made, super light weight (I don't even believe the 3.8lbs is accurate), and most likely will arrive with a damaged lampshade. It also features a cheap version of a rocker switch, a wheel that can be difficult to operate. I remedied this buy putting them on dimmers, another $8 per lamp invested but well worth it for ease of use and lighting aesthetics.
The redeeming qualities are that for the price the "look" of the lamp is excellent! If you are low on cash but want a high end look this will work well. Delivery was extremely prompt, less than a week! I did have to request replacement shades for the lamps but this was not an issue due to the awesome customer service! They a) answered the phone with a live human being! b) Were extremely helpful and polite (quite rare for online shopping) c) And resolved the issue promptly and without any further inconveniences or costs to me.
The down side is that after receiving a second set of lampshades, one of them was still damaged. I think the damage must take place during assembly or packaging. I didn't bother trying for another replacement. Make sure to turn the light on to check for hairline fractures in the shade. When the lamp is off you cannot see the damage. Also, the construction of the shade frame cast a slight unattractive shadow as well. I'm pretty finicky but I think I can live with it.
Overall, I would recommend the lamp with the previously mentioned caveats and I would definitely shop this website again. The customer service rocks!

Nice simple clean design. Can be "dressed up" if one chooses to add decorative fringe on the shade to match your decor. I purchased them for my bedroom and had a budget to stick to. My bed is black metal so they fit just fine. Although one of the lamp's bases is not quite centered (careless placement by laborer), that can be fixed if you don't mind taking off the bottom felt and recentering it.

This is a flimsy light fixture that isn't very bright. the frosted glass sconce is actually a 2 piece deal that only has a little 'V' shaped metal thing to frame each side. the glass jiggles and doesn't stay straight inside the frame. it's only rated for 40 watts each - which would give you 120 watts of light, but the frosted glass is really opaque and that cuts the light alot. the square base that hides the socket connection rotates independently from the long horizontal bar so if you vibrate the wall by closing a door hard or have dancing neighbors the light goes askew. this is one of those: You Get What You Pay For. :(

Product is true to the photo provided on website. Color of shades looks more elegant that I had expected (I purchased Amber and was afraid of it being too yellow, but it truly is a deep Amber color). Works perfectly for over our kitchen table, where we can also direct light to the countertops where we previously had no light (that was our reason for purchasing a track light).

This lamp was so badly conceived and made that it wouldn't stand straight. The diameter of the pole is unusually small and the threads are weak, so that it just cannot hold onto the base. Even at a bargain, it is not worth it because it is impossible to use. I ended up removing the top and using it on an older floor lamp. Even the box it came in was a mess: the foam crumbled and spilled everywhere!

While the product looks like a suitable substitute for more expensive pendant lamps, you will find this is a typical case of getting what you pay for.
The glass shades have three holes for attachment by screws to the hanging light holder. The holes in these shades are hand drilled, and of the three I just ordered two have one hole each that is not in line with the others on the shade, resulting the the shade not hanging level.
The ceiling fixture does not have any provision for a sloping ceiling. If you hang these lamps on a non-flat ceiling, the cord to the pendant then comes out of the fixture at an odd angle, and looks unattractive.
The cord itself only comes in black, so if you need any other color (white, for example) to compliment you room, you will have to buy it somewhere else and replace it on your own.

This task light cost twice as much as a similar one found in Staples. However, I was not offered a choice of colors in Staples (only black) and the wattage rating is slightly higher for the Lite Source model being 100 watts instead of the 75 watts found in the less expensive Staples model. Otherwise, the products are very similar in design and functionality. I would not pay $25.00 again plus shipping for a lamp that I can purchase locally for $12.00.

We absolutely love our ice-cube light! It is bright, beautiful and exactly what we wanted: modern. Because of the shape of the ice-cubes it casts a faint decorative shadow on the walls and ceiling, which adds to the beauty. Our only complaint is that the bracket supplied for the installation was not sturdy and was not big enough to install the light without a lot of effort. Because of this it would not mount completely flush to the ceiling and there is a 1/4" gap between the fixture and the ceiling. It may just be our ceiling outlet-box, but we have had other lights that installed without this problem. Overall, it was worth the effort and it looks fantastic!

Although the light itself is very nice, unfortunately there is a weak spot in its construction. The weak spot is the piece of plastic just above the clamp. I bought one of these lights some time ago and almost immediately that pice of plastic broke. I jerry-rigged it for a while, and then decided that I must have put undue pressure on it, so I decided to get another identical lamp, figuring I would use the first one for parts, or whatever. Well, within the first couple of weeks the SECOND one broke too--in exactly the same place.

It's a lovely lamp but definitely needs a decent sized room. I bought it for a small living room and it's very bold - some might say a bit overpowering. Also, it gives off more of a glow than light. I doubt you'd want to read by this lamp. I also wish it was a few inches taller. I'm 5'7" and always feel like I'm going to knock my forehead on it when I walk by. The colors in the shade are mostly greens and yellow/golds.

Beautiful lamp ! I am a big internet shopper and carefully research every purchase - based on price (including any promo codes, free shipping, etc),reviews of the companies and customer satisfaction with the product. I was very pleased with my purchase from Lighting Universe. I did have one small issue where the purchase went on my credit card, but no shipping confirmation had been received. I made a call to their customer service, who addressed the issue promptly and pleasantly. My order had not been properly received initially by the vendor -- this had already been rectified and I was told my order was shipping the next day. Indeed, I received the lamp a few days later (all total - about 10 work days from date of purchase). It was well packed & I was able to assemble it very quickly & easily - AND it is SOLIDLY together (no wiggly movement of the pole at all!). Best part -- the lamp is gorgeous in it's "spot" behind my sofa ... and even more beautiful at night, when it is lit!

I was disappointed in the poor quality of this lamp. One of the pins that holds a
spring arrived broken, and the fixture that holds the bulb is not snug in the lamp.
It is still wobbling. The part that holds the lamp to the desk could be of a better
design. These lamps were of much better quality 30 years ago.

Using this in our TV room on the console. Good enough light to read a TV guide and or operate remotes from 8 feet away, yet doesn't overpower the wall hung TV. Wouldn't want to use it for serious hour-long book reading sessions though.

These looks great and I've received many complements on them, however, as soon as the bulbs burned out, that's it...either do some transformer type wiring or buy new ones.

This lamp is perfect in my teenage daughter's room. It gives the right amount of light at the bedside and she loves the "cool" look it has.

I purchased this light fixture to compliment my Peroni Full Sized Pendant by Demajo Murano of Italy. I believe this fixture to be the compliment to the Peroni, as I seem to recall Damajo's products as being distributed in the US by the manufacturer Lite Source (see www.demajomurano.com). But I am not certain. But if so, order through Lighting Universe as you won't find it cheaper anywhere else and they don't sell direct. Anyway, I like this mini pendant, and I think you get a lot of bang for your buck. To address some of the concerns indicated by the previous post: the cord is black, but then most modern kitchens are going back to black appliances again (as is customary every few years as trends change to move away from white and then back to it a few years later). The cord they give you is like 20+ feet (whoa!), but it is adjustable and can be cut. The holes in the fixture I got were evenly drilled, but then again I asked them to check this before shipping. The quality of the shade is excellent, as the glass is blown in solid layers as opposed to just being sandblasted or coated with some cheap etching glaze. This particular pendant is not meant to hang on a slanted ceiling, as one would guess by the type of mount provided (c'mon for $40 get real). The service I got from Lighting Universe was prompt, and I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again in the future. If I could change one thing about this light: just for decorative purposes and to compliment other pendants by the same manufacturer, it would have been nice if they would have also run a suspension cable alongside the black cord, just for an added contemporary bit of flair, even if they had to jack up the price a few extra bills. All in all, I think it's a good product! Good luck!

Wall sconces are nice, complete, and arrived on time. Maybe slightly tricky to install...but maybe only if you don't like using directions like me! Everything turned out great.

I was so excited when I found this lamp online!

I was looking for a purple desk lamp for my new office and I was having a really hard time finding one....and then...there it was! It was just what I wanted.

I was having such hard time finding purple that I was ready to settle for red. When I found this one in red, I realized that it came in many more colors INCLUDING purple. Eureka!

Needless to say, I was happy as a clam and I couldn't wait to get it.

When it finally arrived, I was elated. It really was exactly what I wanted and the price was great too. Just perfect! Great lamp!!

I have placed the lamps in a master bedroom of my house that contain the same color scheme. The lamps are bigger than expected and overpower a lot of the near by decorations. I'm considering reorganizing the room to make the lamps less of a focal point and bring attention back to the room as a whole. I enjoy the modern look of the lamps, but feel the size is somewhat large and draw attention from other aspects of the room.

I absolutely love this lamp! It's so streamline and sleek.
I have this in my bedroom next to my bed. What a perfect accent.

I used to have one of these lamps, and it worked great until it ended up breaking. So I knew the product beforehand. However, the shipping and handling was terrible... The box corners were bent in as if it had been thrown around, the plastic that covered the box was pealing off. As for the lamb, the actual base which is poured concrete was busted in on one side, and therefore the lamp didn't stand up straight. I had to take a hammer to it to correct the wobble. As for the parts that were pre-screwed together, I had to unscrew them to correctly realign the edges. The lamp now works fine, but the shipping was terrible and not very fast on top of it. Took several days to arrive.

Bought two of these lamps and they are just perfect for my vanity - which has limited space. They are not only attractive, but give off great light!! Couldn't be happier with the service either - very efficient and timely.

When I bought this for my den I figured the pic looked nice, and it would be a decent reading lamp for a low price. Well I was really surprised to find that the thing looks like it might have been made in Italy rather than China (which is where I assume it's made). The parts look and feel precise. The finish is excellent. And it FEELS heavy too. Everything about this lamp is great. I am ordering a second one for my bedroom.
If anyone asks I'm going to tell them I splurged and spent $400 on this thing.
