    Can anyone recommend a light shop in Dublin with plenty of choice. Will be in Dublin shortly and looking for some ceiling light shades for my kitchen. Have very poor choice in my local area - Woodies, Homebase etc - no proper light shop. Will have a car and would like a suggestion outside the city centre i.e Blancharstown, Liffey Valley etc.

    Ikea also has a sale/clearence section where they sell off various end of production run products.

    I bought 2 nice reading lamps for a tenner each last month.

    They had lots of large floor lamps,ceiling light fixtures and lamp shades on sale there too.

    There is one there beside the Brazen Head on Bridge Street Lower. It think it is called Hicken Lighting. Also there is a dedicated light shop in Ternure. Turn left at the crossroads on the way out to Rathfarnham and it is up on the left hand side. Can't remember the name of it.

    thanks for all suggestions but no luck with them really. Ikea don't have what I'm looking for. Had a look at Robus but it seems to be LED lights and light fittings - no shades. Nothing on Illumation website. Hicken looks promising. I'm looking for a brushed chrome ceiling light shade.....

    I have used the following places before for lighting:

    1. National Lighting (Nangor Road) - Great selection & nice showroom. On the pricey side though

    2. Stillorgan Decor - fairly good selection. Always have specials (ex demo lighting etc on sale)

    3. Falks Lighting Terenure. Haven't been here in a number of years but this store has been going for years.

    Hope this helps

    There's also Hall Of Lights in Harolds Cross. Think they are still in business, haven't been down that way in a while.

    Closed down a couple of years ago.

    When is the money (including lost growth) Michael Noonan took in the Pension Levy going to be paid back?

    Illuminations website does not do their huge range of stuff justice.

    They also used to have another showroom out in the Howth/Coast Road......it also closed down around the same time as their main place.
    I had a look in it before,but found to be rather expensive compared to other light shops and showrooms.

    Its now a Pizza Shop and a builders/double glazing showroom.

    Called into National Lighting and Illumination and both had great choice. Saw light fittings / shades in National Lighting that were considerably cheaper in Illumination !! Found exactly what I was looking for and more in Illumination, spoke with Kevin who was very helpful. Not only do they offer a great range of stock, competitive prices but they deliver FREE to anywhere in Ireland and UK. Thanks again for all replies....
