How will I know when my order will arrive?

We ship all orders by tacked courier service and you will be sent tracking information via the courier nce your order has been dispatched.


We use several different couriers to ship our orders - this may vary depending on the item you have ordered.

When will my tracking become active?

Once your order has been dispatched, you’ll receive an email with your tracking details. Please note that tracking information isn’t always live immediately — it can take a little time to update once the courier processes your parcel.

DPD Deliveries:

DPD tracking typically goes live as soon as your order has been collected from our warehouse. You’ll be able to see real-time updates, including your delivery time slot once the parcel is scanned into their network.

Evri Deliveries:

Evri tracking may take a bit longer to go live. It’s not always active straight away, and updates may only appear a short while after dispatch once the parcel reaches their processing centre.

If your tracking link isn’t showing updates straight away, don’t worry — it’s on its way! Please allow some time for the courier to scan and activate your parcel in their system.

Where are you based?

We’re proudly based in South Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧.

Our lights are shipped from here across the UK, and we’re always happy to help customers nationwide find the perfect lighting for their space.

Trade accounts

Do you offer trade discounts?

Although we don't offer trade accounts, we do work closely with interior designers and home builders to provide lighting for their projects. If you are working on a project please contact us with your company details and the project requirements to see how we can work together. 

We already provide everyday low prices, so we don't offer trade discounts on single items or smaller orders. However, if you are looking to place a particularly large or bulk order, please contact us. 

Please note: we do already offer multi-buy discounts on some of our most popular products.

Order Cancellations

Can I cancel my order after it has been placed?

Unfortunately, once an order has been placed, we’re unable to cancel it. Our system automatically processes orders immediately to ensure quick dispatch and delivery.

Why can’t my order be cancelled?

We use an automated fulfilment system that begins processing orders as soon as they’re confirmed. This allows us to prepare and ship your items as quickly as possible, but it also means we’re unable to intercept or stop the order once it’s in motion.

What can I do if I no longer want my order?

If your order is no longer required, you can request a return once it has been delivered. Please contact our customer service team to arrange the return in line with our returns policy.

Will I receive a refund if I return my order?

Yes. Once your returned item has been received and inspected, we’ll issue a refund to your original payment method, in accordance with our returns policy.

Can I return an item in person?

Unfortunately, we’re unable to accept returns in person. All returns must be sent back via courier following the instructions provided by our team.
