Great company.
Was looking for specific bulbs which proved impossible to get. Phoned me and offered alternative but I asked that they try to source specific item which they did to no avail. Called again and offered alternative which were despatched shortly after. Packaged well. 5 star service

Friendly and professional service
I emailed them about a product I needed cut by measure. The response was quick. I even received advice about delivery and how it would be more cost effective if I bought a few less items. Friendly and great service. I reccomend them.
