I just completed an indoor lighting project where the Illuminee team advised us on selecting more than 45 new energy efficient, retrofitted recessed lights. Their knowledge and expertise was extremely useful in our comfort with finalizing the fixtures to purchase. > > I also worked with Illuminee previously to find 10 new exterior light fixtures for our home. They were wonderful to work with and helped us find the most beautiful fixtures for our home. Illuminee was patient with our questions and came to our home to be sure they had the feeling of the style fixtures that would best suit our house. **★★★★★ — Karen Yamashita, July 2019** > Isabelle's shop, Illuminee, is very special, with thoughtful and elegant choices. She makes it easy to find a special gift or to find a lamp or light fixture that is functional and beautiful. **★★★★★ — youssef\_nadia, Jan. 2019** > It was an absolute pleasure working with Isabelle. She was so helpful in connecting me with some very difficult-to-locate fixtures, and she offered her expertise in making decisions. Communication with her was efficient and easy, and the entire process was seamless. I look forward to working with Isabelle in the future. Thank you! **★★★★★ — Dawn Shubert, Sept. 2018** > Walking into Illuminee is a feast for the eyes. So many gorgeous light fixtures to choose from. > I immediately fell in love with this one and knew it was absolutely perfect for our space. > Isabelle was a delight to work with and Chris installed (thankfully as it was rather daunting). **★★★★★ — Dick Walvis, Sept. 2018** > Absolutely tops. Designing a lighting solution for our living room with Isabelle and Chris was a pleasure and gave us splendid results. **Comment from Illuminee Lighting:** > Thank you Dick! > We really enjoyed working with you too! > Thank you for the nice write up and rating. **★★★★★ — MaryJane Dow, Nov. 2017** > I had looked high and low for a bathroom fixture and just could not find what I wanted. At the suggestion of a friend I went to Illuminee. After some probing on their part they found me, in their mounds of catalogs and vast knowledge of illumination, exactly what I was looking for, an amazingly beautiful statement bathroom fixture. Amazing experience. **Comment from Illuminee Lighting:** > Dear MaryJane, > Thank you for your nice review, we are happy you had an amazing experience doing business with us. It was a pleasure helping you and we look forward to see you soon in our showroom. **★★★★★ — Jan Kilner, Nov. 2017** > We have used Illuminée for most of our home lighting needs, from reading lamps to chandeliers to wall lighting. With Isabelle you get three for one: An inventory of quality lamps and lighting options and competitive prices; excellent, creative design counseling; technical, in-home, support to bring it all together. On the rare occasion when we have had a "bug" or needed a repair Isabelle has responded right away to find a solution. This is a photo of beautiful fixtures designed by Isabelle and Lea De Wit and installed by Illuminée. **Comment from Illuminee Lighting:** > Dear Jan, > Thanks a lot for your review. We really appreciate doing business with you. Unfortunately, the picture you mentioned is not showing up. We would love to see it. **★★★★★ — Fiorovich Group Design-Build, Oct. 2017** > I have purchased lighting supplies many times from Isabel at Illuminee. She has a wonderful showroom and has a wealth of knowledge about lighting and new technologies related to lighting. **Comment from Illuminee Lighting:** > Dear Fiorovich Group Design-Build, > Thanks for your review, we really enjoy doing business with you and we hope to work with you again. **★★★★ — Sabrina E., Oct. 2017** > Beautiful, stylish products and great service. They recommended reasonably priced ceiling fans for two rooms in our house. We love them. **Comment from Illuminee Lighting:** > Dear Sabrina, > Thank you for the review. We are happy you love your ceiling fans. We hope to see you soon! **★★★★★ — Phoebe Salten, Sept. 2017** > We're from the east coast and stopped by at Illuminée at our daughter's recommendation. We were not into a big project, just looking for a couple of lamps. I loved working with Isabelle. She gave me lots of time and ideas, despite the modesty of our requirements. > > I called Isabelle when we got home and ordered what we needed over the phone. Everything arrived promptly and in perfect condition. Next time I'm in Santa Cruz, I'll certainly stop by! **Comment from Illuminee Lighting:** > Dear Phoebe, > Thank you for the review. We enjoyed doing business with you and we hope you will visit us in Santa Cruz soon. **★★★★★ — faye stone, Sept. 2017** > We had a very big and complex job with our lighting in our front yard. Chris and Isabelle were great in making it happen.The design was right o and Chris was very hands on and making sure that it gets done right. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a lighting designer. **Comment from Illuminee Lighting:** > Dear Faye, > Thanks for your review. We are happy you had a great experience, we enjoy doing business with you. **★★★★★ — Paulien Ruijssenaars, Sept. 2017** > Great husband wife combo - designer and installation. Wonderful selection of lighting options perfectly complemented by professional knowledge and house lighting needs. We have been customers for various projects and have always been very pleased. **Comment from Illuminee Lighting:** > Dear Paulien, > Thanks a lot for your review.
