I would thoroughly recommend Downlights Direct. When you phone a human being answers, when you message them they answer swiftly, and when they say they’re going to do something it’s done! Very reliabl... See more

I’ve ordered from this company on a next day delivery and no order has been received. No call, and no email or correspondence. Once I chased they advised they will send it and now nearly a month later... See more

Ordered on thursday

Ordered on thursday, left a comment in a note box that I needed the product by tuesday next week and got it within 24hrs on a standard delivery. Excellent prices, all items working. Nicely packed. Updates on delivery.

Very good experience

Very pleased with the selection available on this company's website, all competitively priced. The ordering process is straightforward and despatch was almost immediate, even though I had chosen the "standard delivery" option. Unfortunately there was a glitch in delivery, entirely due to a failing by the courier company DPD but the sales team at Downlights Direct were great in resolving this for me. I would certainly shop here again.

Great service

Very happy with the lights and the experience of buying them. (We bought Philips High Lumens 7W MasterLED Spot GU10 LED: Colour Temperature 4000K Cool White.) Thank you, Downlights Direct!

Couldn't fit lights due to missing parts

I purchased 4 items from Downlights Direct otherwise known as Expert Electrical Supplies. One Click dimmer switch which works but this was supplied without the fixing screws. Also ordered three Click Inceptor micro LED downlights. Two of the three boxed lights did not have the bezels included and so I could not fit them. Had to wait a total of 10 days for bezels to be supplied direct from the manufacturer. Was dealt with promptly by Downlights Direct but not good enough in my view. I note that Downlights Direct sell these bezels separately on their website.

Excellent service

From the beginning of me placing my order I had exceptional customer support and service, on my initial order I forgot to buy the bulbs to go with my light fittings. I contacted downlights direct and they immediately added these to my original order. This saved me reordering which would have made me incurring an additional charge for delivery and also a delay in me receiving my items. From ordering to receiving my order(including my order error) 3days ,thank you downlights direct

Website bugs leading to wrong delivery type.

Ordered lights, selected AM next day, got put on a standard next day delivery. Phoned the next day to (once getting the confirmation of delivery) only to be told they can do nothing about it which is fair enough however they didn't even try to correct the problem at first without some persuasion. They eventually refunded the difference in delivery however after complaining about the lack of service, they refunded the whole delivery cost effectively making it a free delivery.

Excellent product fitted in minutes , Ovia Gu320.

Fitted the replacement in minutes arrived on time and had texts to confirm delivery time.
Good price and clear description on website . With another six lights to update will be a returning customer soon and will recommend.
Ovia Gu320 is similar design to previous units but looks much sleeker and with fire rating.
More importantly the missus likes it for the close match to old eye ball light it replaced.
