Lighting design and advice in Kensington
Bring the plans, the photos and the questions. Leave with a lighting plan that works and a list your electrician can order from.
In short
Backed by the best industry knowledge, the Cosmo Lighting Kensington team offers lighting design services for renovations, new builds and single rooms: which downlights and how many, where the pendants go, how to dim it all, and the strip, wall and outdoor lighting that ties it together. Visit the showroom at 91-93 Anzac Parade with your plans or photos, or call (02) 9662 1517.
Good lighting design is layers: general light from downlights or ceiling lights, task light over benches and desks, and accent light from pendants, wall lights and strip, all on the right dimmers. The Cosmo team has planned that for Eastern Suburbs homes since 1990, and the showroom means you can see every piece of the plan lit before it is ordered.
Bring floor plans, ceiling heights, photos and the fittings you have fallen for. You leave with a plan and a list your electrician can work from, and the stock is here when they are ready. The current website also lists an installation service; ask in store or call for the details.

Reviews
From Cosmo customers.
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 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.

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.

I work as a maintenance person in a 40 room hotel. Whenever i had a strange problem with lighting. The team especially Bruno calmly organised to either have the product on site or have it in store within 2-3 days. If they don't have the part, they will tell you where you may get it. Today, Bruno,sourced two external light fittings that are at least 10 years old. Good service, good humour. What else can one ask for. MAYBE some cold water, after trying to park. All my friends shop there especially for speciality products.

FAQ
Lighting design & advice questions
Does Cosmo offer a lighting design service?
Yes. Cosmo's team offers lighting design services alongside the showroom. Bring plans, measurements and photos to 91-93 Anzac Parade, or call (02) 9662 1517 to arrange a time.
How many downlights does a room need?
It depends on the room's size, ceiling height and the fitting's output and beam angle, not a rule of thumb. A 4 m by 4 m living room often works with four to six low-glare downlights plus a pendant or lamps for mood; the team will lay it out for your plan.
