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. — Josh Hudelson
This store has a great selection... however the service is awful. I ordered several lights - most of which did not arrive for over month (althoguh I was told I should receive them within 2 weeks). Once I received the lights, I realized that they had made an error and shipped the wrong light. I called the store to discuss how to resolve this issue and have not been able to get anyone on the phone after calling literally 20 times. I will never shop here again and recommend that no one else does either.
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.
