Pros
Cons
Verdict
Lighting Illusions is an excellent choice for consumers seeking high-quality fans and lighting at the lowest available price points. While the company excels in dispatch speed and customer support, buyers should be prepared to follow up on order statuses if shipping is delayed, as proactive communication regarding stock levels is inconsistent.
From the moment we paid for our recessed ceiling lights, all of 50 lights, we were kept in the loop about our delivery. They were courteous and helpful. Deluvery was on time,but most of all the products were absolutely fantastic. We highly recommend this company. Thank you Lightning Illusions. Show reply

Purchased 6 x Franco Breeze fans online. Delivered quickly and have provided a much needed update to my rooms. Opted for the AC versions to use existing wiring and switches rather than having lots of remote controls. Great pricing and quick delivery at no charge from Lighting Illusions. It’s worth investing in an update if your fans are 20 years old! Show details · 1

I bought 3x 48" fans to replace old ones in the bedrooms and a 60" for the living room. I love how they look when they're still and when they're running. The sparky had no issues balancing them and remarked on the good quality and how quiet they are. Lighting Illusions had the best price anywhere and delivered promptly, using a great courier who was careful and helpful. Show details · 1

3 in one bathroom fitting. Looks good. Good bright regular light. Heat lamps effective and most of all the exhaust is quiet. Package was slit open and an extra half box added to secure the parcel. The parcel was a bit damaged. Enjoying our purchase Show details · 1
The 4 in one fan, heater, light, exhaust fan is a great unit, works nice and quiet. The delivery was fast and the installation was done quickly Show reply
Recently, I had my Melbourne house painted and I was on the hunt for the perfect patio light. After some online browsing, I found what I thought would be ideal at Lighting Illusions, the “Antique Black Wickham Ripple Glass Under Eave Ceiling Light”. It arrived promptly and without any damage during transit, well packed. A professional… Read more · 1
electrician eventually installed it for me. I absolutely adore it and want to express my deepest gratitude to Lighting Illusions for everything. I also thoroughly enjoyed all my interactions with them. I have no reservations about purchasing from you again and highly recommend them for all your lighting requirements.

I had a fantastic experience shopping here. The staff are incredibly friendly, and the overall service is very prompt. I reached out via their website to request a price match on an item I was looking at. I was pleasantly surprised when they got back to me within just a few hours—not only did they match the price, but they actually offered me a… Read more · 1
deal even better than the competitor! It’s rare to find a business that is this responsive and truly values its customers' time and business. I will surely be buying from them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for great value and top-tier service.

In contact regularly so we knew where the order was up to. Item arrived quickly and well packaged. We live in the country so they checked the delivery address to ensure there were no problems. Very happy with their service. The unit is one of the best I have ever used. Show details · 1

I ordered two of the same items and only one item arrived initially with no note or anything saying the other item was coming or delayed. So after a phone call I confirmed yes the other item was delayed due to stock levels but is definitely coming. So instead of me having to make a phone call why not just let me know that either via email or note. Show details · 2
Follow-up · The second item arrived shortly after maybe a few days max. The delay didn't hinder anything for us so I was happy with the end result. I've purchased a lot of things from Lighting Illusions over the last 10 years and have not been disappointed.
Great company to deal with. Returns not a problem (my fault, clicked on wrong colour light). Great communication the whole way through from order to refund process. Good products. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Show details · 1
Follow-up · Quick deliver considering we live in a country area. Product matched perfectly to what was described online and was easy to install.

In-depth reviews
Having recently decided to replace old style combined light/fan fittings with a combination of LED downlights and fan only units, I had two 2 54" Mercator smart Grange fans installed. I was so impressed with them (quite/efficient) that, when an electrician recommended I use plastic (not wooden blade) units for the other areas I had planned on… Read more · 1
doing, I immediately looked to see what plastic units Mercator offered and came across the Mercator Ikuu 52" Smart WiFi Anova unit.
Lighting Illusions was the only place that had a qty of 7 available at the time I was looking to purchase and had the best pricing on offer across all retailers at the time so I went ahead with the purchase with them.
There was an initial small delay hiccup being that, when my order arrived, 3 units were damaged and so I had to wait a week or so for new units to arrive in but I dont expect that would usually apply as my order was placed during the 2025 black friday sale period and the store was overwhelmed with demand which affected typical stock availability to be able to cover this kind of event.
Also, it is when things go wrong that you get to find out just how customer service orientated a shop actually is by their response and I was impressed with the response from Lighting Illusions being an immediate offer to credit me in full if I wished to cancel the order as I had scheduled an install date.
Given the price I had got the units for and the fact that the install was for 4 units (which arrived in good condition) I decided to take the 4 and wait for the balance and am extremely happy that I did as the plastic Smart WiFi Anova units are brilliant .... plastic blades mean a lighter unit which puts less weight on the motor making it more energy efficient and these units are also very quite which makes them fine for bedrooms.
They are also units which work via remote control and / wi-fi, meaning that you should be able to operate them by voice, if connected to amazon Alexa devices like the echo show, which I already now use to control most of the new (wifi) downlights in the house, meaning, once set up, I will not need to use wall switches to operate lights or fans.
Lastly, 5 stars for the customer service attitude of the ladies that work at reception. When I went to collect the 3 replacement units I was asked to take a seat by the staff member who assisted me and took it upon herself to go out to the warehouse and find the units herself so that when I took my car to the whse I did not have to wait for the stock to be brought out to me.
I would happily look to this store for any future needs

Unpleasant experience and out of pocket electrical costs – We had bought a Wave light and during installation the light was found to be faulty. We contacted Lighting Illusion and got their sales rep to contact our electrician. Our electrician spoke to the sales rep and still couldn't get the light going. We went into the store and asked if the sales rep could visit and rectify the situation but as usual… Read more
no response from the sales rep. We finally had to uninstall the light and take it back Lighting Illusions for a refund. We got a refund on the light but in the process were out of pocket around $600. I did explain to the branch about this and they asked me to forward the invoice to them to see if they can reimburse the charges incurred due to faulty light. I have now received an email 2 weeks later advising that they have now sub sequentially tested the light and found out that there is no problem with it. I have disputed this claim as it shouldn't take 2 weeks to test a light in store and testing was not done in my presence hence the test holds no credibility. Also I mentioned that while doing subsequent tests, parameters could have been changed or altered to achieve the conclusion. I sent emails letting them know of my disappointment in the process and and unpleasant experience. I also advised that I would be taking this matter further.
Enters, Branch Manager [Name Removed] in the picture at the last process now and at no point in time tried to resolve an issue but instead just shifted blame. Also wrote he will be happy to provide information to ACCC. Just by judging the comments of the Branch Manager speaks volumes about the arrogance and after sales service by Lighting Illusions. We had spent close to $2000 at their store but will not be going anywhere near their store anymore. The matter is with ACCC now. It s really sad that this avenue had to be explored.
Customer service and products are excellent – We are first time home buyer, everything was new and excited on our part, building a new house is really stressful like selecting the best thing to put in your house. We dealt first in other store for selecting and buying our lights. We always go to shop our lights near in our place....the other store asked us to pick up our 3 lights in Lightning… Read more · 1

One the best company and people to deal with. I waited for almost 6 months for an item that was out of stock. They refunded my money and keep me posted on when the product was available. Very grateful. Show reply
We used Lighting Illusions to purchase 2 ceiling fans, which were not in stock at a local retailer and who were awaiting a shipment with no ETA. Hence, as Lighting Illusions had the fans we were looking for, they saved us! Their price was competitive and buying online was easy. Tracking delivery was also easy, and our fans arrived in a reasonable timeframe. Recommended. Show reply
