We had a fantastic experience purchasing some lights from Cosmo lighting in Kensington. Effie and Alicia were great to deal with. Nothing was to much trouble in terms of helping us make the right choice for our lighting needs. Effie was even nice enough to bring a light from the Punchbowl store over to Kensington so we could see what it looked like. Besides being so helpful and very well priced, Effie and Alicia are just a ball of fun and we had a great laugh when we were in the shop. Highly recommend this business!

I would like to thank this team (Effie, George, Mark and Alicia) for their excellent customer services. We were attended by Mark on Sat, 3 Feb in the shop. We were very pleased with his patience, knowledge and useful guidelines/recommendations in the choice of the lights per our preference. We would like to thank Alicia for her prompt response on the phone in providing us the updated information, which was all impressive and appreciated. Most importantly, we were extremely grateful for the effort of Effie and George who came all the way from Kensington to North Shore to deliver the lights to us, even it's after business hours. Their customer oriented service exceeded my expectations. Great service like this makes us feel that they care about developing a long-term relationship with customers, which means more than just making a sale. Thank you so much once again for giving us such a wonderful experience with Kensington Cosmo. Hope we will see this fantastic team again soon.

Alicia and the team provided a great tailored experience to best suit my needs. They were friendly, conveniently located right off of the Kensington Light Rail stop, and had a plethora of knowledge on lighting and lamps. Highly recommend.

I needed lights for the lounge room, a statement piece for my stairwell and I also wanted a bedside lamp. The person who served me was happy to let me browse, I found a beautiful leadlight table lamp, which she insisted that she could hold until I was ready to collect it. I went back a few days later and found my Chandelier for the stairwell and two crystal ceiling lights for the lounge room. These are all still in the shop until I collect my house keys. I absolutely recommend this shop. If they do not have what you want, the staff will try to order the lights in.

I rang Cosmo lighting late on a Saturday afternoon needing some lights in a hurry for the electrician who was ready to install. They stayed open for me and waited for me to arrive. They were super helpful and patient in finding just the right lights to go with our home. Service was excellent. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I will definitely be back.

Cosmo Lighting on the parade are a real gem with quality products at reasonable prices. Their personal friendly service is exceptional. Whenever I have a lighting problem or need advice I find Bruno is a mine of information always helpful and nothing is too difficult. Effie, Vicki and George are also extremely helpful in the business. Another benefit is the rear parking with easy access to the shop. This is rare in the Eastern Suburbs. I thoroughly recommend this store.

I've been buying from Cosmo Lighting Kensington for about 8 years. Effie and the team really know their stuff and they keep a great range of supplies, but if they don't have it they can find it for you. Smart and friendly service, a pleasure to deal with.

This is one of the best “customer service / experiences” we’ve had in a long time: thank you to George and family. The store is full of great selections of fans, lights /light shades and lamps. We went into buy three fans - came away with 5 fans , 2 lamps and 6 light shades....no pushy sales just “ full care and good listening to our needs”. Amazing - thank you.

Effie and her team at Cosmo Lighting in Kensington have extensive product knowledge and provide exceptional service. The store has a great range of stock and is reasonably priced. There is also ample customer parking behind the store. There really is no need to go anywhere else to shop for lights.
