We are thrilled with our new lights for our homes exterior AND the service we received from Angie on a busy Saturday! After searching their large selection on display, we reached out to Angie who listened to what we were after and suggested options based on the look we were after. Southern Lights is an excellent store for lighting, home accessories and more. I highly recommend as a must stop!

Amazing lighting store. Went in with a vague idea of what I wanted and Angie D. was very patient and helpful as we explored options. She helped us pick a dining room and 2 kitchen lights (wasnt thinking about those but fell in love with one). I highly recommend checking them out as you look for lights.

This place lights up my life for sure! I have been here a few times with my beautiful wife. This is where we totally fell in love with a vanity fixture. We went to many other places of illumination searching for something better but were constantly left in the dark. We went back and were greeted by a bright young salesman who found us our lamp and the ladies behind the counter glowed as they processed our purchase. We love our shiny new purchase and Southern Lights made our cloudy day a sunny one!

Its a neat place to check out if you are shopping for lighting. Staff was very friendly and helpful. If you are tall be prepared to duck a lot.

I always use Angie at Southern Lights because their showroom is the best in the area by far and I get great service. I design a lot of whole house interiors and all my orders for clients are closely followed to make sure everything is on time and available. Every box is marked with their locations before delivery and it makes it easy for the electrician to install. Angie also gives great selection ideas and is so helpful when we come across any issues. I would highly recommend using them.

Fantastic experience, exactly what more businesses should strive to be to their customers.I had some questions about LED lighting and not only did Randy answer them, he educated me on the whole process and helped me get the right components to ensure that my project would come out top notch.Couldn’t be happier with my decision to visit Southern Lights! I’ll be back for all of my future lighting needs.

Always technically professional with great service. SAD to see their managers and employees massively ignore mask wearing guidelines that they profess to but, again, ignore. We are so sorry. Its addressed every day. A week later, NO CHANGE. Ive spent many thousands of $$$ here. Looking for alternatives.

My visit here this week reminded me of the value of in-person shopping instead of on-line shopping. When I called to asked questions about ceiling fans, I received the exact help I needed. Within minutes of arriving in the showroom, I again received friendly, knowledgeable help in finding the exact ceiling fans & modern lights I was looking for. Even better, they had the lights I wanted in stock. I was thrilled to check this task off my list without worry of tracking on-line orders, of getting damaged products or of returning anything. Thank you Southern Lights team.

If you’re willing to take out a new home mortgage, this is the place to go. They must put gold in their lights because everything is well over double the price it should be.

We just purchased a new home and need new lighting throughout. I have been to Southern lights twice and both experiences were horrible. Today was the worst, not one single person greeted me and was impossible to get help. I stood in front of the desk taking photos of lighting while 5 employees sat there and ignored me. And on top of that it’s not like it was a busy weekend or evening, very few customers in the store. Sales people just strolling around. They just lost out on my business. Looks like I’ll be light shopping somewhere else.

Went in looking for new lighting for my 2nd house. Was there in the morning and it wasnt busy at all. 10+ employees working. No one said Hello, no one asked if I needed help or anything. This was even after I made eye contact with several employees. If no one acknowledges your existence when you take the time to stop and shop at your store, then you might as well shop online.

Our salesperson, Larissa, is a wealth of knowledge! When we explained what we were looking for to furnish our new home, she knew were to look to find items that fit us and our budget. This is a great store that has a wonderful selection of products for everyone. If we need anything more, we will be contacting Larissa again.

Basically had to beg someone to help me. When I finally got help they had to find someone else to answer my question. Sorry for being such an annoyance. My question, can you wire another light to work off of the fan light remote? There answer no. After further investigation it is very simple to do. Went to Creative Lighting in St. Paul and got exellent assistance!

This is heaven for those who need lights in their place. Nothing you wont find with size, shape and styles. Not your cheaper place but if you need something weird or specific this is the place. Staff was super helpful and friendly. I couldnt find something I needed, surprisingly but my situation was one of a kind

We recently purchased two light fixtures from Southern Lights for our kitchen and front entryway. They look beautiful in our house! The selection of light fixtures was good and the prices were reasonable. The only problem was that we had to ask a salesperson for help, rather than someone coming up to us and asking if we needed help. Overall we had a good experience at Southern Lights, and would probably go there again if we needed a new light fixture.

Very friendly and knowledge staff. They have some very unique lighting you wont find anywhere else in the Twin Cities. If they are too expensive for your budget, try their twice annual tent sale. Held in the Spring and Fall.

Review №54

They’re not reliable when it comes to warranty claims. They give you run around and avoid warranty claims.Update after owner’s response: Builder provided the LED recessed bulbs which were bought from Southern Lights as per the builder. Southern lights replaced one in the past and gave me a receipt. But now your people are saying that they have no record of anything. I wish the owner had first called to hear my side of the story instead of replying here on Google with incorrect facts.

Review №55

Large selection of quality lights at affordable prices. I went into the store near closing in search of two designer flush mounts not to exceed 14 inches in height - this is hard to find! They had hundreds. I was helped immediately by a staff member who went above and beyond, even put bulbs into fixtures I was interested in so I could see what it would look like with various bulb types. He was very quick to look up multiple items for me to check for inventory and when one of the lights I loved was only available on the floor, he gave me a small discount. I had a picture of a light I liked that wasnt on the floor and he went and found it in the back for me. Both purchases look beautiful, were cheaper than Wayfair prices, and better quality than the two I bought online and ended up returning. Zero complaints, 5 stars!

Highly recommended! Buy local and support the Twin Cities’ largest and most beautiful family-owned lighting resource. I am an interior designer and co-owner of mackmiller design+build remodeling firm and I have relied on Southern Lights for years because they have the best selection and prices. I also appreciate their friendly knowledgeable sales staff. I primarily work with Deb Nygaard and Kathy O’Brien. Finally, Southern Lights has been a loyal supporter of our industry professional association, National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), MN Chapter which members appreciate.

Review №57

Southern Lighting in Burnsville is the Best lighting store in Twin Cities MN due to many reasons:The salesperson whove always helped me is absolutely wonderful, very pleasant, patient and respectful gentleman and he finds the light fixture/chandelier at a price that no other major lighting store in MN can offer, when you compare apples to apples. He responds to questions promptly, very knowledgeable, thereby making the purchase possible and you might plan to buy one item but due to great help, end up purchasing all light fixtures in your house. They have huge selection to choose from and they go out of their way to make your shopping experience superb, thanks so much!I have tremendous respect for the owner Lisa, she makes things happen and stands behind the order. So, I have built trust with this lighting store over the yrs. and truly appreciate their Profound customer service, the value of products (very reasonable) they sell, the entire purchase experience is extremely smooth and a pleasure always!Thank you very much for enlightening my home with beautiful lights :)

As a designer I have worked with Southern Lights for many years and have never had an issue with any fixtures, they stand by the products they choose to carry. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, ready with advise if you need it, but never pushy. I will continue to use the showroom for years to come because of (1) awesome staff (2) outstanding product!

Review №63

They have a great selection of lights but the staff was very unpleasant. We had an agreement with our builder to allow for exchanging lights and both the stock room person and the front desk treated me like I was a big inconvenience. I even had to pull out a previous email stating the amount to be credited because she didnt believe me.Wouldnt recommend unless you really need to look at a large selection. Some items in their tent sale were same prices as Amazon so be careful what you pay.

Review №64

I bought a very expensive Casablanca mission style fan two years ago. I called to ask what my options were to get it fixed. A young lady took my name and number and said someone would call me back ASAP. Nobody called back. They have a beautiful store with lots of merchandise but don’t expect ANY service after the sale. I called the Fan Man and he told me that this type of fan has an electronic control system that fails after the one year warranty period ends. It will cost me about $400 to have this system replaced with a new controller from another manufacturer since Casablanca discontinued our model. FYI
