Profile

With 8,000 square feet of labyrinthine display space, seventeen floors of inventory, and models from more than 140 manufacturers, Lighting By Gregory comes as close to the proverbial Light of Ten-Thousand Suns as is possible on the isle of Manhattan. There's something here for even the darkest corners of the home, from $20 closet tap lights to five-figure chandeliers, by brands like Flos, Holtkötter, and Schonbek. There's also a wide selection of ceiling fans and, of course, light bulbs. (An entire closet, for instance, is devoted entirely to very small bulbs.) When it comes to knowledge of their products, the staff is, in a word, “bright.” And while they don't offer an installation service, they are happy to recommend reliable electricians. If you're looking for the man in charge, though, don't let the store's moniker mislead you. Though shop namesake Gregory does work there, his father, Joel, runs the operation.

im a contractor and i only use Gregory. its pretty simple for me. they can always beat anyone's prices, theyve got more product than anyone, and the guys in there know their stuff. i dont go anywhere else. my only complaint is that they close at 5 everyday. cant tell you how many times i needed something in the area and wished i could pop in for a replacement piece. whatever, still the best.

good people.

i needed to find a light to match one i had bought a few years ago. the company that made it had discontinued it and i had pretty much given up hope since all the other websites i called kept telling me it was unavaiable. Lighting by gregory not only found me one of them, but gave me the address and phone number of a place not far from home that had it. they didnt even make money off me, but they cared enough to help. next time i need any lighting i know where im going.
