Located in Cambridge, ON, since 2006. One Fact, The Lighting Guy Ontario is Southern Ontario's Largest COMPLETE Lighting Repair, Lamp Parts, and offering Lampshade recovering. You will find, many lighting stores do not offer these unique extra services. Small in size, but HUGE in results! MISSION - A UNIQUE CONCEPT: To complement lighting store retailers, not to compete with them.
Though TLG offers retail lighting, New and vintage restored lighting, its main focus is on Lamp repairs, lampshade glass lighting, and lamp parts. 1. TLG has seen many Antique stores and thrift store retailers still out there, like Value Village, that sell used lighting that, though they still work, some should still be rewired.
In addition, there is still a huge love for antique and retro lighting out there. And with many Antique markets in Ontario, many require restoration to make them up to par with safety standards, even if they are still working.

We had an appointment booked yesterday (26th Jan) and drove over from Dundas for 10.20am and found the store closed. We waited for the payed opening time of 10.30 but still no one in the shop. We waited a further 30 minutes but there was no response to our knocking or to the Facebook message I sent (and still no response to that 24 hours later).
We are buying lighting for a complete renovation, and won't be using the Lighting Guy for any of it after this lack of professionalism. We do have a store near Stoney Creek that is wonderful so we'll stick to giving them our business.

What a complete waste of time and gas money. Yesterday I booked an appointment for 11:20am today. Drove an hour & 15 minutes in heavy fog to arrive on time. When we got there it was in darkness and there were people waiting outside with an earlier appointment (& they drove an hour to get there) that didn't know what was happening either. We all had received confirmation & reminder emails for our appointments. No email or call to cancel any of us. We left and found another lighting store to spend our money at. Surprise - the other people who were stood up were also in the same competitor store

I found the chandelier that I wanted, but it was not nearly long enough for our high ceilings. I am so happy that I found The Lighting Guy. He was able to rewire and extending the chain so that it would hang properly in our dining room. The service was exactly as requested and quick. Thank you so much!

My experience as a business owner was not favourable. There was no follow-up to for an order to be processed. And far too many rules as to getting attention of The Lighting Guy. I did find out that some of the lighting parts are not CSA or ULC approved, I cannot in good conscience pass this on to my customers.

When I brought in my totally disheveled lampshade I was told there was only a 50% chance it could be fixed. When I went to pick it up it was literally brand new. It was a gift from a most important person in my life who had passed away. I was devastated when I was told there was only a 50% chance. I’m totally thrilled by the job that was done. I live in Thornhill, north of Toronto. It was definitely worth the drive, construction & all. Would not hesitate to return if need be!!!

Given all of the other five-star reviews, I guess I just don’t understand David’s business model. I placed an order, requesting pick up, and he didn’t show up at the scheduled pick up time – twice. In the end, I received my order through the mail, though about quarter of the order was missing or incorrect, and he didn’t include a packing slip. When I emailed afterwards – no answer.

It most certainly was worth the drive from Hamilton to Cambridge for my appointment kept. Dave gave me what I needed rather than what I thought I wanted and I am most pleased with my change of harp height and stunning new pleated lamp shade. The only downfall is it was made in China! ugh! why can't Canada look after Canadians? It just doesn't feel right to support another country in most instances.

I bought barn lights from David in the summer of 2020. David was amazing in answering my questions by email because of Covid restrictions. The lights were delivered in a timely fashion, are amazing quality and we love the attached security sensor. My electrician swore security sensors did not attach to the lights and I would need a separate electrical outlet, but
David had exactly what I needed. The lights look amazing on our accessory building.
I had such a good experience, that this summer I ordered Bodega pendant lights for my kitchen. Again, prompt replies to emails and the product came pretty

I brought in my Grandmother’s antique lamp to have rewired. The silk lampshade had also bit the dust, so I was looking to have it recovered too. The Lighting Guy did an absolutely fabulous job making the lamp safe by rewiring it with period appropriate materials. And the shade recover was done so beautifully. My husband and I, my parents, and my Grandmother (most importantly) are super impressed with the quality of workmanship. For my additional lighting needs, I will be going back to the Lighting Guy.

Purchased 4 lamp shades - 3 custom made for very old lamps. Also bought several lamp parts that were not available to me locally. Workmanship was excellent. David was great to deal with. Always responded to my emails very quickly. Would highly recommend this business to anyone who is seeking specialized lighting service.

Excellent place for your rewiring needs! Two friendly & talented guys who did an excellent job making my newly-acquired vintage table lamp safe for daily use. Great suggestions for old-style cloth covered wiring, complete with a retro-look plug, and gorgeous amber glass LED Edison-style bulbs. The job was done on time and on budget! It really is worth the drive to Cambridge 😊 (Pic is from "before")
