Our verdict
Lights.co.uk suits UK households replacing table lamps or adding a lit mirror, with glass, metal and wooden finishes and a return window of 50 days. The store is run by Lampenwelt GmbH in Germany, so shoppers here buy from a company set up outside the UK.

- Table lamps come in glass, metal and wood, which covers the finishes most living rooms already work with.

Ready to try Lights.co.uk?
Who it suits
- Shoppers who want time to live with a fitting before deciding, since returns stay open for 50 days.
- UK households replacing table lamps or adding a lit mirror to a bedroom or hallway, without visiting a showroom first.
- People outfitting more than one room, as the store carries indoor and outdoor lighting alongside mirrors and decorative pieces.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers outside the UK, who cannot have an order delivered.
- Readers after in-person lighting advice, or who want a different kind of store to weigh up, such as Mikasa or Lampenwelt.
Who runs it
Lights.co.uk is the trading name of Lampenwelt GmbH, a limited company whose registered office is in Fulda and which is registered in Germany. Both details are worth holding on to when you weigh the store against the others here, because the name you type into the browser is not the name that stands behind your order. That arrangement is ordinary for a cross-border retailer, and it says nothing about the quality of the lighting on offer. What it does say is who answers when something goes wrong. Refunds, delivery queries and account questions are handled by a company registered in Germany, so correspondence crosses a national border and can move at the speed of international post rather than a local reply. Anyone hoping for a fast answer should keep the order number and the delivery date to hand, since those are the details the company will need to pick up the thread. The rest of the picture is plain. Lights.co.uk presents its catalogue under a single brand name, and the company behind the site is the same for every order you place, with no separate UK entity carrying the purchase instead. Lampenwelt GmbH in Fulda is the party named on your paperwork, and it is the name to quote if a question about an order has to be escalated rather than answered at first contact. None of this argues against the store. It tells you that a buyer in the UK is dealing across a border, which is worth weighing against the price you pay and the time you have to change your mind.

Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to return a lamp or mirror?+
Lights.co.uk accepts returns free of charge within 50 days of the order reaching you. The count starts at delivery rather than at checkout, so a slow delivery does not eat into the window. In practice that leaves room to try a fitting in the room you bought it for before deciding it is wrong.
Does returning something cost me anything?+
No. The store states that items can be returned free of charge within 50 days of receipt, so the return itself adds nothing to what you paid for the lamp. The figure you see when ordering is the only one attached to the purchase, and the window is counted from the day the order arrives.
Who is actually behind Lights.co.uk?+
The store is run by Lampenwelt GmbH, a limited company, and that is the legal person your order sits with. Lights.co.uk is the trading name rather than the registered company, so Lampenwelt GmbH is the name to quote if a query about an order needs answering beyond the first reply.
Is Lights.co.uk a UK company?+
The registered company is Lampenwelt GmbH, with its registered office in Fulda and registration in Germany. Your order therefore sits with a company set up outside the UK, even though deliveries are arranged for UK addresses. Worth knowing before you commit to a large order.
Where does Lights.co.uk deliver?+
Deliveries are made to the United Kingdom. If your home sits outside the UK there is no home delivery to arrange through the store, which settles the question early for anyone comparing while living abroad. UK addresses are the ones the store ships to.
How do I get hold of the company?+
You can reach the team by email, phone and help centre. Questions about an order, a finish or a return can be put in writing or raised by phone, and the help centre handles the routine questions on its own. With a company registered abroad and UK delivery, a written channel is the easiest way to keep a record.
