Totally in love with our new feature lights!! Seagraves and Dixon is a truly wonderful, proper local shop. Brilliantly helpful and knowledgeable staff and a huge choice of lights, including loads of catalogues… if you don’t spot something you like on display. Nothing was too much trouble. Had a slight fault with one of the lights (they wouldn’t have known) and getting it changed was no hassle at all. That’s the kind of service you want! Only went in to look for the feature lights but they also happened to have a couple of lamps that were just what we’d wanted. It

Hugely impressed with their service. Kelvin is particularly knowledgeable and helpful. Very good product range in the shop but they were also happy to (patiently) go through catalogues to help find what you want and advise. Prices were competitive. A friendly attitude. Highly recommended.
