About Lighting New York
From New York's Lighting District to Homes Across the Country
Before Lighting New York became an online destination, it was several storefronts in New York City’s historic lighting district. Customers arrived with room measurements, fabric swatches, floor plans, and questions about finding lighting that looked right, fit the space, and made everyday life feel a little better.
Those conversations shaped the way we still do business. Today, our family-owned team works with more than 150 vendor partners, and helps homeowners, designers, builders, and other trade professionals shop for decorative lighting and home products across the country. As an authorized retailer for the brands we carry, we offer genuine products, reliable product information, and manufacturer warranty support.
While our assortment, tools, and ways to shop have grown, our approach remains personal. Whether you are replacing one fixture, finishing a room, or planning an entire home, our ALA-certified Lighting Experts can help you understand the details, compare the possibilities, and choose pieces that feel right at home.

Good Service Has a Way of Getting Noticed
We will admit it: awards are nice. What means even more is why we received them. Every review, rating, and recognition points back to a person who answered a question, found an alternative, solved a problem, or stayed with a customer until things felt right.
We are proud of these milestones because they reflect the kind of family-owned business we work hard to be: knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely helpful when it matters.
Have you ever saved a photo of a light you loved but had no idea what to call it? That is the problem Beacon was built to solve. Lighting New York’s visual search tool received Newsweek’s AI Impact Award for “Best Outcomes, Customer Experience,” recognizing a smarter, simpler way to move from an inspiration image to lighting that shares the look.
Lighting New York earned Newsweek recognition for “America’s Best Customer Service” five years in a row. For us, that honor reflects the care and lighting knowledge our team brings to every call, chat, email, and customer project.

Real Reviews from Trusted Sources
Our reach may extend across the country, but our roots are local. As a family-owned business, we know a home is more than the things inside it. It is where people gather, grow, rest, celebrate, and feel that they belong.
That is why supporting organizations like the American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, and Homes For Our Troops, that help people build safe, welcoming homes, is a natural part of our story.
For Every Project, Every Room, and Every "Is this the one?" Moment.
Lighting New York is for homeowners, renovators, designers, builders, and home lovers who want their spaces to feel pulled together, not pieced together. Some shoppers know exactly what they want. Others are choosing between three pendants, two finishes, and one very opinionated dining table.
However you shop, you can browse at your own pace, save ideas as you go, compare the details, and ask a Lighting Expert when you want another set of trained eyes on the decision.

The Lighting New York Pro Program gives designers, builders, contractors, architects, and other qualified professionals access to dedicated support and benefits designed around the way they work.
