Pros and cons
brkox
Pros
- Entry price of $24 keeps a single shade or small fitting within reach on a tight budget.
- Returns of 30 days put BRKOX at 16 of 109 brands, well above the middle of the field.
- Free delivery from $69 to $199 means a batched order for several fittings ships with nothing added on top.
Cons
- Shipping is charged below $69 to $199, so a cheap single fitting carries a delivery cost the item price does not cover.
- The range covers lighting in wood only, so buyers wanting mirrors or wall art have to look at Dublino Moebel or Abracadabra NYC.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre only.
FIREBOX
Pros
- A 100 day return period, which ranks 3 of the 109 brands compared on returns.
- Lighting starts at £24.99, and delivery is free above £50.
- The range covers lighting, wall art and decor, where Sofary Modern Lighting for Less lists lighting and decor and leaves out wall art.
Cons
- Made to measure is a no, so nothing is cut to a ceiling height or a room width.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, with no phone line for a sizing or delivery problem.
- Ordering covers GB alone, so the quoted price and the free delivery threshold apply to UK orders only.
Who each suits

Questions about each
brkox
What does BRKOX cost at the cheaper end?+
Lighting starts at $24, so a single fitting is an affordable addition to a room. Each piece is sold at its own listed price, and delivery stops being a charge once the basket passes $69 to $199, so the total rises with what you choose rather than with a plan.
How much is delivery on a smaller order?+
Free delivery starts at $69 to $199. Orders under that level still arrive with the delivery charge added on, which matters most for a low priced single fitting. A room's worth of pieces clears the threshold comfortably, so shoppers batching a hallway or bedroom usually pay nothing extra to ship.
FIREBOX
How much does lighting start at?+
Lighting pieces start at £24.99. That is the opening price on the range, so the figure to compare with another shop is the cheapest piece in the same category. Anything above it depends on the design you pick and on which room it is meant for.
Is delivery free, and from what order value?+
Delivery is free once an order passes £50. Below that line the delivery charge is added to the basket, so the entry priced piece costs more on arrival in a small order than it does inside a bigger one. Clearing the threshold is what turns the entry price into a better all in figure.
