Superb service at Optime Lighting. Took an old engineers desklamp in that wasnt working and had no base. Karl suggested various base designs. He completely rewired it and custom made a heavy steel base to match. Very happy with the final result and very reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

I needed an external junction box, and my first choice of shop didn't have any, but they suggested Optime Lighting and it was just the ticket! Had exactly what I needed and without any fuss. Great place to discover
