Great selection of lampshades. I purchased a pair of vintage mid-century floor lamps and was unsuccessful in finding period appropriate barrel shaped lampshades until I went to Ensler Lighting - many choices! They also quickly repaired a halogen floor lamp that none of the other local shops would consider repairing. 5 stars!

I received a oil lamp from my grandmother and when it made it to me here in California it had been broken. I took it into Ensler Lighting to see if they could fix it and they were more than happy to look at it and within 20 minutes they were able to find out what was wrong and what needed to be done to fix it. I am so grateful to them for making sure that I was able to keep this in the family.

Wow! This is an awesome place. The selection is incredibly large and if you can't find what you're looking for here, you won't find it anywhere. The family who owns it is absolutely wonderful and kind. This store is really fantastic!

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.

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.

Fast, friendly knowledgeable repairs on the spot

We brought in a sentimental hand-carved wooden wall lamp a friend of my mother's had made 25 years ago, where he'd never finished attaching a plug to the wire. She'd had it hanging as a non-working decoration all these years. When she moved to the west coast, I said she should bring it and we'd get it taken care of here.



I'd heard that Ensler's was under new, much friendlier management, so we went in to ask about repairs. On the spot, the store's new owner Howard was able to attach a plug to the wire, identify that the base into which the light bulb screwed was non-standard (this was made in Europe) and put in an adapter he had on hand so it can now take normal light bulbs. Nice talking with him, too.



The lamp lit up, my mom's face lit up. We'll definitely be doing business there again.
