Finally a real replacement for halogen bulbs! They really know the lighting market - ask them about anything you've found and chances are they've already given it a go. They stand behind their products and the prices are really good.

Fraser and his team have looked after us since our start in 2006; lighting and power solutions, often at short notice. Friendly folk with expert advice - suggesting creative solutions to fit our often tight budgets. Good companies are hard to find: Ablectrics are a gem and we regard them as partners. I unreservedly recommend Ablectrics and if you'd like to see their work look through our windows. For us - where there was darkness now there is light.

This is easily my favourite wholesalers of electrical parts and lighting in Bristol. The team offers superb knowledge and a friendly face. It is refreshing to meet a tram who is so dedicated at getting the right product to the customer. They have expert knowledge about lighting solutions which I believe is unparalleled in the city of Bristol. They have always been helpful to me. They regularly offered branded products at discounted rates and their service is exemplary.
