Culture

First and foremost, LampsTotal is the web shop you will find the biggest range of lights in the country. We are one of those stores that makes you think: 'If I can't find it here, it will be damn hard to find it anywhere else, too!'. Of course you will find the sharpest prices available in our store, you'll return for our excellent service, and get snacks and beverages while you shop if you drop by at our physical locations! All of this just to show you that your custom is valued by our team.

Are you not satisfied with a certain product, or do you want to return an order? In that case we will help you just as friendly as if you were to place an order. We strongly believe in mouth-to-mouth advertising, and strive to live by that philosophy.

Our customer service approach has showed time after time we have got it right. Thanks to Trustpilot, we know what our customers think about us, thanks to a great rating system. Customers definitely appreciate our quick deliveries and exquisite services. We score a 9/10 in regard to customer satisfaction - and we are rather proud of that!

LampsTotal strives to be more than just a seller. During the past 50 years, we have gained a lot of knowledge and experience - either because our customers asked specific questions, or because we visited dozens of conventions all around the world, or did some research ourselves! Thanks to that kind of built-up expertise, we make a giant difference. We are capable of informing and advising our customers about the smallest detail of their potential purchase. We also offer lighting advice for both indoor and outdoor use, and you can also rely on us if you are in need of handy maintenance tips and tricks.

On the other hand, it offers us an opportunity to develop products ourselves - and that is exactly what we do! Based on our knowledge and experience, specific customer questions and an everlasting quest for innovation, LampsTotal has developed a great, high-qualitative LED solution. We bring parts from all over the world together and create a LED light with an insanely high light performance, a warm colour emission and a high score on the Colour Rendering Index.

That is an example of how LampsTotal tries to handle her mission of providing their customer base with the biggest assortment of lighting, knowledge and expertise. The core value of our mission is undoubtedly our customer service. It is thanks to our customers that we have grown to be this company, and we will never forget that.
