This weekend I visited Lightspro along with my friend who is moving into a newly constructed flat. There are lot of varieties of decorative lights available at Lightspro,located at outer ring road Bangalore in the same building above Nilgiris retail store. Even though, they claim they have 3000 varieties I don't take that version. My earlier visit to this store was around six months back..

..when I picked up few decorative lamps for my newly constructed flat. To my surprise those designs are almost obsolete now as they were sold out very quickly. I remember last time when I wanted to have more quantities in a single piece, the sales girl informed that they don't have enough stocks to fulfill my requirement. Later I changed my mind and took another new piece so they were able to provide me sufficient quantities in that piece. As per my observation, they have designs which are available from Chinese makers and they won't keep track of the designs which may be required for existing customers. So be careful with your lamp shades! Once you break it, there is less chance that you can get a same design in future. Else you may need to replace all your lamps for a uniform look/appearance. One more thing to keep in mind is that most of their bulb holders are designed to use with threaded bulbs which may not be available in general market. I had to replace two bulbs and could not locate it in the local market and at last I got it from Lightspro. So there is lot of vendor dependency exists when you choose your lightings from Lightspro. Even though Indian manufactures like wipro, Philips etc started making same bulbs suitable for threaded holders, it may not suit as they design small threaded one. The same thing that had happened to me at billing counter, happened to my friend as well. They were unable to deliver one set of lamps in the chosen design as they don't have stocks! So he had to redo the selection process to pick up another design.

As per the agreement they have to deliver the goods at my friend's place around 12.00 PM Sunday as he hired an electrician for the fittings, but they delivered at 3.00 PM. Thanks to Bangalore traffic! You are the best excuse for any late comers.

So your purchase guidance for LightsPro is,
1. Make sure that enough stock for the chosen design is available with them.
2. If you would like to replace the existing bulb with CFL bulb, be sure your holder is suitable and CFL won't pop out from holder.
3. Keep extra bulbs incase bulb get fused you may not get it in local market and has to visit Lightspro again.
4. Keep the design simple as there is no service or spare parts warranty for long term use.
5. Ask them to deliver at your home so that you are not responsible in case items are damaged while transporting.
6. Make sure that they deliver the items in good condition, as transportation can break some glasses.
7. Last but not least, Handle with care once you break it; you may need to replace entire set for uniform appearance.
