Be careful ! No mention of what shades made out of !

We ordered lights back in May and only just putting them up now - this is partly our fault for not checking but the lights are plastic !

On the website it doesn’t state what made out of - very misleading - assumption was glass

Very disappointed

Very disappointed. Arrived promptly but was a VERY cheap copy of a well known designer that looked nothing like the picture or description. How they can call themselves designer lighting is beyond me. Complained and got a full refund, which to their credit arrived quickly. So if your order arrives and it’s not as expected do not allow them to catch you with return courier or re-stocking charges. Simply put, they are not providing products as described, instead they are cheap “versions”.

Wonderful product

Initially I was disappointed that I have to wait for the 2nd part of my order. But the wait has been worth it. They look amazing now that they are up I ordered 2 different sizes which do a perfect job.
Quite a complex fitting process No instructions came with the product so lots of patience and trial and error required.

Dear Malcolm,
Sorry you feel this way. The glass versions are much inferior to the acrylic versions, glass has a gaint seem straight down the middle which looks aweful, while the acrylic only has a small dot on the bottom. Acrylic also creates a much more beautiful effect. Ashame you threw them away as we have a 14 day returns policy and would have gladly taken them back. Have a lovely weekend.

Hi Ben,
Sorry it took so long for your order. We did have delays on certian items due to the long delays at ports. These problems have affected all businesses in the UK. Thankfully the situation is getting better gradually.

Kind regards.

Hi Sam,
Firstly thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. Glad you like our lights! We always keep our prices as competitive as possible in the first place, however due to the unprecedented increase of container costs, the price for the materials we used to manufacture our lights has gone significantly. We have increased our prices as little as possible and we still remain the most competitive.

Kind Regards

I’m happy

Delivery was really quick and I was notified by email and text of when to expect the lights. The lights were packaged really well and arrived in good condition even though the box was slightly damaged. Cotton gloves were supplied to handle the lights and avoid scratching them when installing them. Due to previous reviews I’d read I knew they were acrylic and not glass, so this was not an unpleasant surprise. Overall I’m happy with the product, although I feel they are overpriced. I can’t fault delivery, packaging or communication.

Dear Murphy,
Thank you for the feedback! Glad to hear you like the lights, the reason we use acrylic instead of glass is that when the acrylic shades are moulded there is only a very small dot on the bottom of the shade, whereas with the glass shades they have a giant seam all the way down the shade which looks awful. In addition to this, acrylic gives a much better effect than the glass alternatives. We know this because we used to sell the glass versions, then moved back to acrylic after we recieved customer feedback. Hope this explains why we use the materials we do, and hope to see you back again soon! Have a lovely week!

Kind Regards

Ordered the lights from ILite and they…

Ordered the lights from ILite and they were supposed to arrive within two weeks. Had to wait for them for a further 3 weeks. Lights arrived well packaged but they were very plasticky and looked cheap so we decided to return them. The company accepted the return but withheld 10% as 'handeling fee'. This was very disappointing especially as we returned the lights in the original packaging and the second light was not even opened. Just wanted to alert anyone who is buying from this company that they do not refund the whole amount.

I was apprehensive about ordering having read a number of previous reviews and decided to opt to pay through Klarna for an added layer of security. The order arrived within a day or two of placing the order and we are so pleased with the pendant lights we purchased.
