I had a project where I worked on a few Lodges near London, and I contacted Asco Lights for assistance on the lighting and they were absolutely fantastic. They made sure that budgets were met and I ended up with a lighting design that I will love for a long, long time. Would recommend Asco Lights for any lighting design services that you may need help with!

Fantastic, professional approach. I worked closely with the design team on a residential property and everything from the first meeting right through to the completion of the project was smooth and trouble free. Would highly recommend the team at Asco!

We recently wanted to renovate our bathroom and wanted new light fittings for such a big space. We visited their showroom and the staff were very friendly who had great knowledge on what we could do and introduced mood lighting to us. We ended up using some clever tiny LED fittings that made best use of our space. I would use their service again!

Really impressed with the amazing results we have got with our bedroom ensuite. Really wanted to give it the boutique hotel style and asco lights managed to source some italian wall lights and chandelier which looks beautiful and really grabs your attention as you walk into the room. Will definitely come back to Asco Lights for further lights.

We recently had our kitchen done up and we worked with asco lights to make our kitchen lighting perfect. They supplied us with any information that we needed to know and made sure we knew what we had to do if anything went wrong, nothing has gone wrong yet and hope nothing does. Definitely will be using asco lights in the future when we choose to do up another room. 5/5
