Once you move into your home it is very rarely that you think of making a change in the lighting system in your home. This does not mean that you will not make any changes at all. If you did not have a chandelier in the beginning you may like to get one installed, or you could get a floor lamp if your tastes run that way.
Some people do not plan ahead about what they want to get. They just get whatever catches their eye when they go out shopping. Others know exactly what they want and look around until they find something. It all depends on your innate nature. However you are it is still a good idea to visit a lighting shop if you want to get any lighting material rather than just go get something from your local departmental store.
The department store may be much bigger and may have a number of things, but as lighting systems go they will not have what you are looking for. This is because the people who manage the store will not know anything about the lighting systems on display except what their margins are for each product. You will therefore only find things that will be the most profitable for them there. A lighting shop, on the other hand, will give you a whole range of choices, often more even than the largest departmental store because that is what they do. Obviously the bigger the shop the more on display but finding a more popular one means that you will get more up to date and current designs than a place that does not have as much activity and a bigger shop does not necessarily mean a place with more activity.
A lighting shop is a much better place to get your lighting requirements for two reasons; the first will obviously be that they will be better stocked. The second is that even if they don’t have what you are looking for, many of them will help you out to get what you want. Most of these shops will be owned and run by the owner himself, and many of them will even show you brochures from different manufacturers so that if you do find what you need there, they will get it for you.
Another very important thing about going to a lighting shop is that the owner will know about his stuff and will be able to help you when it comes to installing your purchase. Sales persons in large stores do not necessarily have this knowledge because there is always a large turnover of personnel there and there is no training given to new employees. A lighting shop, however, always has the owner at hand who will know about all things electrical and can help you with what needs to be done. For example if you are getting a new wall mounted sconce that costs you $50, why would you want to pay 10 times this amount to an electrician just to get it installed. If it is not too complicated you can do it yourself and this is where advice from the owner will come in useful.
Last but not the least most departmental stores have a one price policy. You pay what is printed on it. On the other hand if you go to a lighting store there is every possibility that you can get a discount on your purchase. This is especially true if you frequent the same place, most owners will give you something off simply because you are a regular customer while this never happens in a larger store.
