The fixture still does not work after sending me the new electrical box. I am extremely disappointed. I now have a light fixture that I cannot use and it is sitting on a shelf in my garage. I am out of the country right now and will return on Monday May 30.

Hello Michael,
I am so sorry to hear about the experience you’ve had this time around!

We see that you placed the order in December 2022 and reached out to us in March this year regarding the issue with your fixture. We have issued a replacement driver to be shipped to you to help resolve the issue as we noticed that you or your electrician had alter the wires of the fixture, which could be the reason why the fixture is no longer working.

Products are very poor quality for the price point and compared to their marketing images. Almost impossible to build, yes they are flat pack lights. No instructions and all in Chinese. Communication is very slow and returning the products is challenging. I aim UK based and having to pay for postage to return our order. Not confident i will get my refund.
Update.
6 weeks later I have not received my refund. 1 item got lost by FedEx but are avoiding refunding the 4 items the have received for a month now.
Cost £600 to return junk back to them. Please avoid these cons

Hi Jim,
I am so sorry to hear about the experience you’ve had, this is far from what we want our customers to feel or go through.
All our products go through strict quality control during production and rigorous quality inspections and postproduction to ensure we meet quality standards and requirements! We offer you exquisite lights of premium quality for an affordable price, and if our lights did not meet your standard, we do apologize for that. We send our products flatpack to save space and most of our lights are too big to be shipped assembled, I hope you understand. We are trying to improve all our instruction manuals for a better understanding of our consumers and we do offer video installation guides for some of our products.
We will surely assist you with the refund and our team will also offer some other options that you might consider.
Thank you for sending us this review as it really helps us improve and better serve our customers.

Long lead times and lack of response
Long lead times and when our new Halo Lights arrived the finish was really poor and not what we'd expect. Followed instructions to arrange a return and refund but not response. Chased after several and still no response after over a week. Really disappointing from what appears to be a well established company.

Inferior lights and a major headache to return. BEWARE when purchasing from this company.

Bailey with 7 orbs (warm white lights)
I purchased the Bailey with 7 white orb lights
My package was lost for months then when located was way below standard quality and broken
My light was ill fitting meaning holes didn’t line up plus bent in multiple areas - the company offered me nothing. I also needed to buy over $200 worth of supplies to hang it and make it work
In AUD 🇦🇺 it was $500.99 just for the light fixture and that’s non dimmable either
I wasn’t impressed with this group the light fitting material was very low grade quality - I wrote on their Facebook page late last year Re the light yet my comment was removed
Light $500.99
extras $250
labour $260
Total $1010.99 !!
Photos look good on social media but that is where it ends
I will never buy from MOD LIGHTING again. Low quality - no customer service!

Really poor quality lights
Really poor quality lights, very cheaply made for the high price you pay, also I have questioned the I.P waterproof rating, as this is questionable. MOD forwards your order to a Chinese manufacturer. Shipping takes ages as delivery comes from China. Finally, the customer service is on a different planet, they don't understand the questions asked, keep giving the same none relevant answers, and don't deal with the issue. Regarding MODS's reply, below. Several emails highlighting my concerns and issues have been sent, hence my opinion on their replies. I look forward to receiving UK complaint regulation certification on the I.P ratings
Response from MOD LIGHTINGMar 12, 2023
Hi Matthew, I think there must have been some kind of misunderstanding, our customer service always tries to provide outstanding customer service experience and work around the clock to serve our customers. Regarding your comment on we are an agent, that is not true, we do hold inventories in our US and China warehouses of the fixtures that we are selling. All products go through strict manufacturing and post-production inspections to ensure quality. Haylen RGB is also rated for IP65 waterproof and we have certifications showing that, for which we can send over once you provide your order ID. We appreciate your feedback and sorry to hear that you were not happy with the purchase. Please give us a chance to rectify and clarify any questions! Thanks again for your business!

Electrician won't install. They are not certified.
I bought seven of their lights (Order #610335 and Order #68035) and the electrician won't install them as they are not CE/ESA certified. I have now wasted over $1000 and don't know what to do with these lights.
Response from MOD LIGHTINGMar 4, 2023
Hi Varun, We can see that you purchased our Haylen fixture, please allow me to correct that Haylen is indeed CE certified, as well we have UL certification. We will have our support team reach out to you via email so they can share a copy of the certification to you if needed! We stand behind the quality of our products. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need anything from us!

I placed an order on January 2, 2023 and have been going around in circles with customer service ever since. Part of their problem is a delay in correspondence, I don't know if it is due to a time zone difference or the shifts that they work. Here is a chronology of the highlights which transpired.
1. October 30, 2022 I sent an inquiry about customization of the light fixtures and was told that it is possible and to notify when the order had been placed.
2. January 2, 2023 4:31 PM I placed the order and received confirmation of the order.
3. January 2, 2023 4:39 PM I emailed the confirmation number to Anne.
4. January 3, 2023 5:32 AM Anne requests the order number.
5. January 3, 2023 9:22 AM I provide the order number.
6. January 3, 2023 10:59 PM Anne states that she did not see the order number and requests additional information (order number, full name and email address).
7. January 4, 2023 9:07 AM I provide the requested information.
8. January 5, 2023 1:19 AM Anne acknowledges receipt of the information and confirms that the customization is noted.
9. January 5, 2023 10:13 PM Anne notifies me that the order has shipped but will attempt to stop shipment of order.
10. January 5, 2023 10:48 PM Anne confirms order has shipped and suggests the adjustment be made on my end.
11. January 6, 2023 9:13 AM I explain that the order will be sent outside of the US for a project that I am working on and I do not want to take a chance on having the adjustment being made at that end so I request a return authorization.
12. January 9, 2023 4:23 PM I email notification that the delivery has been made and request status update of my request for return authorization.
13. January 11, 2023 10:06 PM Anne provides instructions to adjust the fixtures.
14. January 13, 2023 4:59 PM I notify you again that I do not intend to adjust the fixtures and again request a return authorization and instructions for return.
15. January 13, 2023 8:35 PM Anne provides requirements for return and communicates the 20% partial refund should I decide to keep the fixtures.
16. January 16, 2023 1:52 PM I notify Anne that would like to return the fixtures.
17. January 18, 2023 2:59 PM Beverly notifies me that the order cannot be returned due to the customization.
18. January 18, 2023 3:51 PM I notify Beverly that the customization was not performed and this is why I am returning the fixtures.
19. January 20, 2023 5:20 AM Beverly notifies of offer to replace the fixtures free of cost with the requested customization.
20. January 20, 2023 10:20 AM I accept offer and ask for clarification of offer.
21. January 26, 2023 5:51 AM Offer is rescinded and again instructions for adjustment of the fixtures is provided.
After I provided these details to MOD they determined that the customization request had not been made within the required 12 hours so a replacement was not possible but they would assist with a refund. They later requested photos of the packaging and light fixtures to verify condition before return. I sent the photo of the unopened box on Feb. 1, 2023, I never bothered to open the box since I knew that the customization had not been performed. I am still waiting for their response. Overall I would say the time, effort and aggravation are not worth it. Buy your lighting elsewhere.
Feb. 07, 2023 Update to Response
This was exactly the wrong response to my review. Yes, the return will be processed and a refund eventually issued but the damage to your reputation is done. The response should have been, we took too long to process your customization request and we will work hard to make the necessary corrections and earn your future business. The issue could have easily been resolved by asking me to return the order (at my expense) and offering to make the required customization and returning the order to me completed. But that never happened so this is why this company will never achieve its full potential and remain substandard.
February 28, 2023 Update
I finally received a full refund from MOD. A word of caution, had I opened the box and made the adjustments to the fixtures that MOD advised me to do on three different occasions, I would not have received a refund at all. I can forgive a lot of things, but not bad customer service.
Response from MOD LIGHTINGFeb 7, 2023
Hi Cynthia, so sorry for the delay in communication it looks like our team has already reached out to you with the return address and actively working with you to resolve this and get your order returned. Once you return the item and that we receive it, your refund will be processed accordingly! Thanks so much for your business!
