Great Selection and Information – I walked in the other day to get a lamp repaired - Howard had many suggestions about how I could do the repair myself and save money - I elected to have him do the repair, but appreciated the wealth of information that he provided. He also has a great selection of shades, and fairly reasonably priced antique fixtures.

I received wonderful help. They were patient and clear with a difficult problem fixing a European threaded Chandaliar to American fittings.

Highly Recommend – I recently did a remodel on my home and was in need of lots of lighting. I went to a few of the "big box" stores and found nothing that really suited my fancy. I decided that I would try littler boutique shops, and that is when I ran into Ensler Lighting. I was in awe of how big of a selection that they had. I was like a kid in a candy store. I found so many things that fit the decor that I was going for. I highly recommend them.

I brought in 2 lamps that needed new wiring. They told me it would take them about 2 weeks, but then I got a call the same day telling me they were done! Price was very reasonable.

New Owner, New Attitude, – The former proprietor has recently died and the shop has been taken over by his older and wiser brother. I appologize for the often bad behavior of Edward. I am a more peaceful, and professional person. Call, come in, look arround, ask questions, get advice, sit on the bench in front and get your lamps repaired or a new shade fitted. I helped start this business with my mother some 35 years ago and want to bring it back to the friendly, neighborhood shop that it was know to be. My hours are somewha... read more

"STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE unless you want to be insulted, cursed at and perhaps physically assaulted by the arrogant insane proprietor. I stopped in to look for some wire and parts for a vintage light fixture. After listening stone faced to my question the shop owner began ranting how stupid my question was. He next asked if I was a "proponent" of global warming. Not knowing at all what he meant I tried changing the subject ... asking if he sold the proper wire needed for my light fixture. At this he became more enraged ...... read more
