Light Bulb Source

Could have been better or at least said the don't bother following up via returned phone call or email. Thought these guys were the gold standard. Must have been ancient history.

Professions Quick Local! I'll go back, had exactly what I needed. Was old cottage so home depot didn't have what I needed

Light bulb source trumps your local Home Depot or Lowe's when it comes to lighting and light fixtures!

I bought a lamp 20 years ago and the PL-L bulb finally burned out. It looked like a real challenge to find a replacement but these guys had it! Very nice folks, so glad they had this specialty bulb.

I drove all over town, visited 3 big box stores trying to find 1 light bulb: the T5, 22 inch light tube. None of those store had it. So I went on Yelp and found this store, called them immediately, Crystal answered the phone & said she had those light tubes, and she will have them ready when I arrive. I arrived 5 minutes later, and there they were, ready for me at the cash register. This store saved the day. Highly recommend!

I was looking for a specific light bulb/s and was assisted excellently by a representative who was friendly, informative and helpful in answering all my questions. I didn't rate a 5 only because my items are on back order. I am unable to determine their reliability until the order comes or does not come as promised. By all accounts, I don't expect anything but superior customer service at that time. Thank you!

They had a situation that day and had to close early but the owner came to the door and asked what I was looking for. He brought the light bulbs I needed to the door so I did not have to return another day. Thank you!

This place always has what I can't find elsewhere. They rock! Just got 5 odd replacement bulbs for various fixtures and they had them all in stock. Can't beat that especially these days.

Called in my order. The girl was gracious and courteous. I appreciated her assistance. Thank you. Upon pick up, I went to her and she knew who I was and had my order ready. Efficient, friendly and helpful. Many thanks.

They are awesome, fast and friendly when lowes and home depot don't have it they do. Needed an uncommon light bulb and eventually found it after exhausting most stores. They got it quickly, only downside was it was a bit expensive, that however is understandable for a specialty shop with high hawaii overhead.

Good place to find unusual light bulbs. make sure you check the bulb before you give them your payment. I checked mine and the bulb was cracked and I pointed it out to them. Of course they went back and got a good bulb. pricey but that's what you get for unusual bulbs.

They have any lightbulb that you need, including specialty ones. The man who checked me out was not very nice or helpful, besides getting the lightbulb. It could have been an off day for him, but it really made me not want to go back. Also, the parking is horrible!

They moved from Ward to the old surf shop on Queen. There's not much on display at this location. It's just a few guys at desks. I went up to one of them that wasn't on the phone because they didn't ask if I needed help and there's not really a counter or anything. I went to the Ward location a lot and I know I can always find whatever lightbulb I'm looking for here.

I don't have to know what it is, I just bring in the dead bulb and they match it. I've replaced vanity lights, makeup mirror lights, fluorescent classroom lights, a display cabinet light, seriously whatever. Sometimes they have it in stock. Sometimes thy have to order it. I don't really care. It's not stuff I can find at Home Depot. Tip: Parking SUCKS.

Back into the spaces if you can because pulling out into traffic is so dangerous. You can't see anything because there's a huge dumpster next door blocking the view of oncoming cars.

Went in for a single oven top appliance bulb. Can't say enough about how friendly and helpful everyone was for being such a small purchase. This is the only place to go when you need a lighting solution. They even sell landscape lighting.

I wish I could give Negative Stars. It has now been over 1.5 months & no response even after I've visited their office twice & I was told I would get a quote "soon". The tech came to my unit in late June & I went over all the light fixtures & the bulb types needed & he took detailed notes. He said he would provide a "proposal" in a week. 2 weeks went by, then 3, I visited the office a couple of times, each time "he was working on it".

I just wonder now about his competency! How many "The Light Bulb Source" technicians & time does it take to change a few light bulbs?! This is a big island & there are indeed other professional & competent resources that can provide light bulbs, not to mention Google aka "Internet" minus this 1 piddly store.

Any light bulb you need can be found here. I don't waste my time anymore calling hardware stores only to be told they don't have the replacement bulb I need. I go to the source. Good customer service and conveniently located on Queen St by Ward.

I was in the neighborhood today when a light bulb went on lol! I noticed this store, which I had never noticed before. I had been on the lookout for a certain kind of light *fixture* (not a bulb), so I stopped in to see if they sell those too. Turns out, they do! They also sell specialty flashlights (like big, impact resistant light "wands" and "UV leak detectors"), LED light "tape" and other stuff not normally sought by the casual residential lighting customer, like me!

The sales associate who helped me today (he wasn't wearing a name tag, so I'll just call him "Alvin") was knowledgeable and helpful. He took time to demonstrate the various features, benefits, and such so I could comparison shop, and he cheerfully trotted inventory out of the back when he noticed they didn't have all the varieties on display.

So I appreciated that. The prices seemed a bit steep, but I got what I was after, so all's well that ends well. As Denalee pointed out, at least we did our part to help the local economy!

I was feeling a little brighter when i walked out of here yesterday. Not necessarily like I could get a 180 on the LSAT, but definitely cheerier. The Light Bulb Source is a great place for speciality light bulbs. My vanity mirror has a daylight bulb which burnt out and the last time I went on an adventure all around town to all the typical places one would search trying to find a replacement.

I finally got a tip to try the Light Bulb Source. So this time, I went straight to the source. The man who helped me was super friendly and very attentive. At first he thought they were out and offered to call me when they came in but somehow magically found me one in the store. I could not have asked for better service. The bulb itself was a bit expensive: around $10.

Which sound ridiculous when I tell you the mirror cost me $20, but hey, that's like buying printer ink.right? The printer costs $200 and the replacement ink is $100, or something like that. I did find a similar item at half the cost online, but you could say I'm helping the Hawaii economy. I have a thing for small businesses. Plus, where else can you find specialty bulbs in Honolulu? Hard to find items + great customer service = a brighter me! side note: they are open on Saturdays.

This is the type of store that if you bring in a light bulb or know what type of lamp you need, they will get you the lamp or carry it and can order you the bulb if they don't have it. Never had problems with the customer service. Can't say much for the pricing as I haven't shopped around, but pricing seems reasonable at least for harder to find lamps. If you need a certain lamp I'm sure you'll find it here.

When I went a few month back, they didn't have the exact bulb I was looking for to replace the one that burnt out in my house. I went back yesterday and they were able to help me better by suggesting reasonable alternatives to the one I brought in. In the end, I was able to re-light my house so even though they didn't have the exact bulb, I'm happy since I can see better at home now.
