One price. No codes. Whoever you are.

Most retailers set a price high enough to survive being discounted, then hand out codes to bring it back down to what they were always willing to accept. We price the other way round.

One price, set as keenly as we can afford, available to everybody. Electricians, interior designers and hotel groups buy from us at the same price shown to somebody buying a single pendant for a hallway. There is no trade login, no members' rate and no code, because there is no gap between those prices to bridge.

No discount codes, ever

Not for first orders, not for newsletter signups, not for Black Friday.

Trade prices, no trade account

The same price for the public and the trade. Volume jobs are quoted properly.

Because I hadn't heard of them before I was a bit dubious about the site and the claims about the product, but the lights arrived in perfect order and I think they are extremely versatile.

The brands

Official UK partner for every brand we sell.

We work directly with more than thirty manufacturers in the UK, the United States, Spain and Italy, and for several of them we are the only place in the country you can buy their lights. That is not a badge we bought. It is forty one years of trading relationships.

02 · The showroom

Two thousand lights, switched on, in one room in Warwickshire.

One of the largest lighting showrooms in the country, and everything in it is lit. Stand under a chandelier before you commit to it, see what a warm white actually looks like against your kitchen worktop, and change your mind twice.

Father, son, uncles and cousins are all still active in the business. It means the person who answers the phone has an opinion worth having.

This week

Before the clocks change.

The evenings are drawing in, and most houses meet October with the same lighting they had in June.

Walk your house one room at a time, in the dark, and note where you are straining. That is the whole audit. We have written it up room by room, with what to change first and what can wait.

Delivery

Free to mainland UK over £100, £7.75 below that. Two to seven working days when everything is in stock, and every product page gives the lead time for that fitting. Northern Ireland, the Highlands and the islands are quoted separately.

If it arrives damaged

Send us a photograph within 48 hours and we will sort a replacement. It happens, couriers are couriers, and we would rather fix it quickly than argue about it.

If you change your mind

Thirty days from the day it arrives to return an unused item for a refund. You arrange and pay for the return postage. Made to order and bespoke pieces are the exception.

If it goes wrong later

Twelve months as standard, and two to five years on some manufacturers. A real person on 024 7631 7022, Monday to Friday.

Questions

The questions people actually ask

Is there a discount code for KES?

No, and you do not need one. We do not issue discount codes at all, not for first orders, not for newsletter signups, not for Black Friday. The price on the page is our price, and it is the same price the trade pay. We do not run an NHS, student or blue light scheme either, because we keep one price for everyone. Here is why we do it this way

How do I know KES is a genuine retailer?

We are a family business and have been trading for more than 40 years from our Warwickshire showroom. We are an official UK partner for every brand we sell, and for some we are the only UK stockist. You can read what our customers say about us. Read our customer reviews

How much is delivery and how long does it take?

Delivery to mainland UK is free on orders over £100, and £7.75 below that. Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and the islands are charged separately. If everything is in stock you will have it in two to seven working days, and each product page gives the lead time for that fitting. Full delivery details and European rates

What if I change my mind?

You have 30 days from the day your order arrives to return an unused item for a refund. You arrange and pay for the return postage. Made to order and bespoke pieces are the exception. How to return an item

What if my order arrives damaged?

Send us a photo within 48 hours of delivery and we will sort a replacement. If a fitting develops a fault later on, everything carries a 12 month guarantee, and some manufacturers offer two to five years. Get in touch

Do light fittings come with bulbs?

As a general rule, no. A few manufacturers still include them and we say so on the product page. Every fitting lists the bulbs it takes right next to the product, so you can add them to the same order. Shop light bulbs
