I highly recommend using Shannon Lamp Service for your lamp needs. David was able to fix my lamp while I waited. Very reasonably price, and extremely friendly! I also enjoyed walking around the store to see all the unique lamps. Next time I need a lamp, I will be heading over to the shop.
I became acquainted with David and his store shortly after we relocated to Lexington, KY from Arizona. One of my lamps had so many different parts and not all of them were for this lamp. Within seconds, he had it put together for me. A few days later my elbow hit an antique globe lamp breaking the globe and chimney into pieces. Took the lamp into Shannons and David got me all fixed up and the charge was very reasonable. Professional and knowledgeable, I know I will be able to trust Shannon Lamp Service with any lamp repairs I may need in the future and when the time comes and I need to buy a new lamp, I will go to Shannons and shop their wide selection of every style of lamp imaginable.Gayda ForrestVersailles KY
Best lamp business ever! I recently got an old Aladdin electric lamp at an auction that needed to be rewired. I quickly realized the job needed special fittings and I found Shannon’s lamps online. The owner actually called me to make sure I was getting what I wanted! I even got the most beautiful shade from him too! He rewired and fitted in beautifully. The turn around time was less than a week! I’m even reviewing on google and I hate google just for this awesome company!!
Excellent family-run business. Whether you need a custom-made lamp shade -- or want to find a lamp you cant find anywhere else -- or would like to have a lamp made from just about any inanimate object -- I recommend Shannon Lamp Service highly. They made us a shade for a lamp that was hundreds of miles away based on a photo and measurements, and it fit perfectly.
Shannon Lamps repaired a lawyers lamp beautifully for us several years ago and lately a bathroom sconce that blew. The work is not only spot on but done very timely. The store is full of the most beautiful and interesting lamps around this area and Mr Shannon is quick to show his handiwork restoring some of the lighting. This is a wonderful shop to get very fine work done or to just go into and browse. And by the way, the prices are quite reasonable.
I had a custom lamp shade made to match my base and it turned out perfectly. I was also in search of unique lighting pieces and they had exactly what I needed. I would highly recommend for all your lightning needs!
We were looking for a great shade for our bridge arm lamp. Found a few, but reviews were not good. Luckily we stumbled upon Shannon Lamp Service. Dave was very helpful and we couldnt be happier with our purchase. So nice to work with a family business. Will definitely purchase from them again. Highly of @
I always enjoy going to Shannon Lamp Service; they know their lampshades! I have always been more than satisfied with the lampshades they have recommended and made for us over the years.David is very knowledgeable, skilled, and delightful to work with. This is a long-standing, locally-owned business which fills an important niche in the community. I recommend it highly.
Finding knowledgeable experts who care and are excited about what they do in any niche business is rare, but at Shannons that is exactly what you get. My custom lamp shades are lovely and will stand the test of time. A long time business in Lexington with a history of quality and service!
David helped me get the right shape, size and color shade for my antique lamps and then replaced some parts to make sure they were safe. I am very pleased with the results.
I love Shannon Lamp Service! They repaired my vintage alabaster lamp, and with the beautiful new linen shade, it is good as new. They have a nice inventory of lamps and shades, and they are courteous and honest! It is always a pleasure to do business with them.
They finished an old family ceiling light for us and did a great job. They were very helpful with suggestions on what would look best and were very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend them .
Fantastic chair caning. I have taken several old chairs with broken & split seats to have seat bottoms replaced. David does beautiful work. I would highly recommend. They also have a great variety of lamps & shades.
Great personal service! I’ve taken several older lamps to be reworked and to order new shades. David knows what works and can make suggestions to enhance the beauty of the lamps.Incidentally, one of my lamps had originally been restored for my grandmother by David’s father in the early 1950s!
This place is GREAT!!! The service is impeccable and Mr. Shannon is very nice and knowledgeable! I will ALWAYS take my lamps here. I highly recommend Shannon Lamp Service for any and all lighting/lamp repairs.
For approximately 10 years, I have taken all of my lamp and lampshade business to Shannon Lamp Service in Lexington, Ky. This company is the epitome of a 5 star business. I have always been greeted with a smile and a friendly personality. The quality of workmanship is above reproach. The Shannons are honest with their opinions when asked and honest with their pricing.

Helpful and Friendly customer service. Very knowledgeable! I needed to lamps repaired, they were able to save me money by using parts from one lamp to fix the second lamp so that I didn’t have to purchase more parts than were necessary. I will return!
This shop is one of Lexington’s hidden treasures. This family business has been in operation for over 60 years and it isn’t a mystery why: honest, professional competent work, surprisingly large inventory of lamps, shades, globes and lighting supplies, all at very reasonable prices. My parents have been customers for decades, and so have I. No need to look anywhere else.
This is a unique store. Lovely lamps and unusual ones too. They do wonderful chair caning and make lamps from objects you might bring in. Very knowledgeable.
Ive ordered 2 lampshades from Shannon Lamp in the last year and wish I had much more business for them. Excellent personal service, beautiful craftsmanship, accurate response and shipping. If only other businesses I deal with could perform in this way.
Excellent service, high quality products. Made a custom lamp for anniversary present. Quality workmanship, ready when promised. Would highly recommend!!!
David was very helpful in helping me choose an appropriate shade for my lamp. He is very friendly and knowledgeable.This shop is locally owned and operated.
Wonderful, quick service! Very helpful information and lamp looks good as new!! Highly recommend.
Re-caned two rocking chairs that were from the early 60’s. My dads and the one they had made for me when I was 1. My wife and I both love the way they turned out. It’s like they’re brand new again. We would definitely recommend Shannon.
I have always found David at Shannon Lamp to be friendly, helpful, professional and customer service oriented. I have taken many lamps from the 60s in over the years and have always been very pleased with their service.
My repair was minor, so they were able to do it while I waited.Awesome shop and great service.
This is not just a fix it store. The lamps are stunning. The customer service exceeds 5 stars. David Shannon helped me find lamp shades the way an artist explains his/her point of view. I went there 3 times today and will continue to do so. Everyone in Lexington needs to re-evaluate this Lamp store....and have an experience like mine that is so very rare these days.
Shannon Lamp Service is a unique and extraordinary business for specialty lamp repair, custom lamp shades and lamps and parts of all kinds. We had three very old and expensive lamps repaired at fair prices and are very pleased with the service. This type of service and support is becoming rare in todays throw away and poor service culture.
This is a very nice place to do business. The owner was fair and quick in solving my problem. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Super fast, super friendly and super competent. Fixed my lamp in a flash, without having to make a return trip to pick-up. No one could ask for more! Ill never go anywhere else!
I was thrilled to find these custom made lamp shades, had four made. Measurements were perfect, thanks David. He did an exceptional job of making sure my measurements were correct. Cannot say enough good things about the personal experience of ordering and talking to a real person who was a shade expert. Shades arrived in perfect condition.
Great place for lamp shades, repairs and chair caning. Also a great source for lamp parts for DIYs.
This is more of a preview than review. I remember going with Mother to Shannon Lamp Service for years.I recently completed my Parents Estate. They passed away within 45 days of each other in 2013.I inherited many of their antique lamps. Im looking forward to working with Shannons to restore and refresh them.Thank you, Shannons for all the great memories.Ill be seeing you soon.Morri Anggelis
Davids counsel on the correct shade for a family heirloom was incredibly valuable — I learned a great deal and truly appreciate the personal attention and expertise that he brought .... which resulted in a perfect shade for our lamp. And because we are out-of-state, David delivered all this via emailed photos and phone conversations which we exchanged. I could not have been more pleased and would recommend him without hesitation!
Just had a great experience with Mr. Shannon. Was delighted to fine replacement shades for my great grand mother’s student lamp. Never thought I would find such perfect ones. Plus doing business with Shannon’s was excellent. He went out of his way to fine the most economical and secure way to ship to me here in Canada. All in all a great experienceWe
Always reliable and usually quick service...only place in town we would go for lamp and light service.
I recently replaced an old lamp shade with a new one over the phone. It was easy to do, fast as lightning, and the price was very reasonable. I called the shop to ask a question and the owner was friendly and knew his stuff! This is the second lamp shade Ive ordered over the phone and had mailed to me in another state, and both are perfect. Im so happy to have found this shop. No more lugging lamps to stores and hoping theres one that may fit my needs. Thanks for the excellent service!
I love shopping small. Shannon Lamp Service might be a small family business but it is HUGE on customer service and product quality. Ordered 2 Uno shades for my antique lamps. Ordered arrived within 3 days in perfect condition. Packing of shades was superior. Thank You David!
The new lampshade I ordered fits perfectly, and brought my vintage lamp (formerly a kerosene burning lamp) back to life! Dave, the owner, was extremely helpful and knowledgable in helping me to order the right shade and several lamp replacement parts. I recommend the shop highly for its excellent customer service and highly experienced craftsmanship.
I have a nostalgic love for this little shop because its been here forever and reminds me of the old Lexington that is fast disappearing.Yes its in a jankety part of town, but get yourself there and take lamps for repair or new parts, or shades for that vintage/funky lamp you bought at an estate sale, or just look at the classic lighting and treat your self to a HANDMADE lampshade that theyve been making as long as theyve been there.
I took my Grandmothers 75-year-old lamps to Shannon Lamps and they rewired and repaired them to better than original condition! They also made custom-fit lamp shades to replace the broken ones we had. They did a wonderful job with my old lamps, and I bought a new table lamp they had custom-made from a Makers Mark bottle. Thank you Shannon Lamps!
My most recent purchase was 5 new lamp shades. I am very pleased with the quality and with the assistance given to choose the right shapes and fabrics. The prices are quite reasonable. I have also had Shannon Lamp Service rewire and repair a number of lamps in the last 20 years. I have never been disappointed in the quality of the work or with the prices. I also love knowing that chair canning services and custom-made lamp services are available.
Shannon Lamp Service has refurbished a lamp and built three lamp shades for my house. The refurbished lamp had a new brass extension added along with the socket. This lamp had a round shade replaced with a more suitable shade design. The other two new shades were designed to better suit the two lamps.David has great experience in taking lamps to refreshed current look. His suggestions and design solutions have keep me from tossing out the old outdated lamp, thus saving me time and money.Best of all, Shannon Lamp delivers on coming in on budget and time estimates.
The owner was very helpful and pleasant great place!
I have purchased beautiful antique lamps, and also had wicker chairs repaired here. Quality work. Reasonable prices. Friendly. Helpful. Professional. These independent shops are so valuable to our community and to the wider economy. Shop Shannon’s Lamp Service!
Shannon Lamp Service was recommended to me as I needed a new lamp shade. The owner was very knowledgeable and told me that the lamp shade I currently had was not the correct size. He was right! My lamp looks so much more contemporary and the price for a new hand-made shade was very reasonable. I will definitely use them again.
The lamps are beautiful and the service is delightful. Will certainly be back!
Had a hard time finding a replacement shade for an Asian style lamp that was my Dads. I went to Shannon lamp service because of the reviews. Mr. Shannon was very helpful and took his time helping me select the correct size and style. Great craftsmanship and reasonable prices. Has a terrific selection of modern and antique lamps. He also does custom work. He has GREAT lamps made out of lots of different items you would never think of making a lamp of. I will definitely return to his shop for all my Lamp needs.
My custom-made lamp shades are lovely and beautifully made. I highly recommend David Shannon.He has an array of fabrics, sizes, and shapes to suggest, and will work with you to find the perfect lamp or shade.
I would definitely recommend Shannon Lamp Service. The owner was friendly & knowledgeable. He quickly repaired my table lamp for a reasonable price while I waited. The shop has a great selection of lamps, so I will return to buy from them when I need one.
Shannon Lamp Service is the place to go if you need any repairs! I just took a floor lamp there and they fixed it while I waited. Prices are reasonable and very reputable business for over 50 years! Any size lamp shade you need he can design and make it for you. 5 stars for sure!
My experience was very pleasing. Was in and out of the story very quickly, the owner was extremely friendly. I was expecting to pay at least 50$ for a repair & the owner did it free of charge!! Who does that in this world?! I recommend.
A first-rate experience with Shannon Lamp service. David rewired and installed a three-way switch in a family heirloom. Excellent value. Will be returning for all my lamp needs. Wish I had found it sooner.
Fast, friendly service and beautiful inventory!
This family-owned-and-operated shop is a treasure trove of everything to do with lamps. Upon showing Mr. Shannon a picture of an antique floor lamp inherited from my grandparents that needed a new shade, he immediately knew the right size, shape and style for it - and had several, which he had made himself, in stock. Service was so personable and knowledgeable that I plan to go back for rewiring and a new shade for an antique table lamp I own - and buy another lamp I saw there!
He fixed my antique Gone with the Wind lamp honoring the old and incorporating the new. And I also found a beautiful new lampshade for another lamp—and he rewired it on the spot. Great job. Thank you.
We had a delightful time talking with David at Shannon Lamps surrounding taking our lamp to him and retrieving it. He accurately discussed our repair and had it available for pick up when he suggested it might be ready. We also purchased a shade in addition the repair. We will definitely go back.
I love visiting this store anytime we are in Lexington. They always have a large selection of lamps and shades and the owner is extremely knowledgeable. My husband and I had several oil lamps that needed new shades and chimneys. Shannons had a large selection to choose from with a variety of sizes, styles and prices. They also do a fantastic job of repairing and refurbishing old lamps. I highly recommend visiting Shannons if you are in the market for a quality lamp with a little character and fantastic customer service.
A dear friend had bought lamps in England and needed them rewired to be able to use here back home. Shannon Lamp Service did this very well and fairly quickly (2 weeks). She has been thrilled to be able to use the lamps now! We used their store to buy a replacement glass shade for an electric oil lamp that my mother bought in 1940. We are very happy with it & it was a very reasonable price. Their service has been excellent!
I found this quint shop by accident, an I’m so glad I did. They have numerous lamps, all in pristine condition, with many styles and sizes. They also do custom lamp shades at this shop. Another service they can do here also is, custom lamp builds, they can produce a lamp from many of your own special items, talk to owner about it, amazing. They owner also can provide professional quality chair caneing, a rare skill today. Stop by their brick and mortar store, check them out on line. Awesome, real lamp shop.
A true professional. First class shop.
Mr. Shannon has helped me for years. I have bought several lamps from him and he has repaired and refurbished many of the lamps that I already had. The lamp shades that the shop makes to order are of especially good quality..
This business is a Lexington treasure. Extremely friendly and helpful. At a time when this area is being re-discovered it is great to see a business that has been in place for over 50 years! In our throw-away society of today, a business like Shannon lamp is truly remarkable. I would highly recommend them and hope they are around for a long time to come.
Shannon Lamp Service always has just what we need for our lamps. We offer new and vintage lighting @MulberryandLime. Re-wiring old lamps, creating new contemporary shades and replacing chimneys are just a few services we have utilized. Shannon’s is always knowledgeable & prompt. Conveniently nearby. Locally owned and operated. What more could they offer?
Shannon Lamp is a real gem in Lexington. David Shannon is excellent in judging the size and shape of a shade that is appropriate for a lamp. Be sure to take your lamp with you when you want to choose a new shade! My husband and I found his expert guidance to be invaluable in making decisions about the design and fabric for each lamp shade. And if he doesn’t have just what you need, he will make a new one to your specifications. We were so pleased with the friendly service and the final product. The only problem has been that now we look at every other lamp in the house and feel that they ALL need new shades!
They have repaired several lamps for me very quickly and at a great price. I definitely will continue to use their services.
David repaired my lamp had it finished three days before the promise date. When I went to pick it up he even carried it out to my vehicle for me.He noticed that I was a veteran and we talked about the honor flights and he was encouraging me to make the trip. Nice person and place.
Shannon repaired my lamp while I waited! And the cost was very modest, much less than I had expected. Plus, the repair continues to work. Well done!
They have a large selection to choose from. The customer service is the best. I would recommend if you need any sort of lamp shade to check Shannon’s Lamp Service Out! They’ve been in business a long time also! Very knowledgeable also.
As a new customer I was very pleased with the expertise and personalized service that I received in choosing replacement lamp shades. Shannons has a nice selection of both lamps and shades. I highly recommend this locally owned business.
What a great local business, and community minded, too! I so appreciate doing business with those who give back, like Shannon Lamp.
I have an old lamp of my mothers. The shade it had was in awful condition. David Shannon custom made a shade for it. It is amazing! So glad I finally did this. Extremely reasonable priced. Great to work with!
This the best place to find custom made lampshades. The quality is superb and the prices reasonable. Lamp repair service is also offer and is prompt and reasonably priced. A great locally owned business.
Mr. Shannon was very helpful and knowledgeable. He saved the day, finding a part to complete our Lamp project. Although it was a small item, he took the time to locate just what we needed. He is carrying on the same tradition of his father...good customer service and attention to detail. Also noticed he carries bees wax candle covers.
A real treasure of a store! Gorgeous lamps & shades, refurbishments and repairs, all from a friendly and knowledgeable professional. A great resource!
I have done business with and recommended Shannon Lamp Service for many years. David and Amy are the best. I like the way they ask questions and make sure that they understand what you are interested in doing - and then offer excellent suggestions to arrange the finished product even better than you had expected. They do excellent lamp and lampshade work but also do high quality chair caning. The Shannons are rare in this world ... A multi-generation family-owned business performing with such concern and quality and so creatively. I highly recommend that you give them the opportunity to help you!
The Shannon Lamp Service experience brings service excellence & product choice in lampshades & lamp repair to a new level. A tour of their store enlightens the customer as to Choice that enhaces value of interior design & illumination. Trustworthy.
My mom and I have always gone to Shannon Lamp Service for lamp repairs and custom-made shades. In addition, David Shannon has caned quite a few chairs for us over the years. We have always been extremely pleased and highly recommend them for their excellent workmanship.
Been doing business with Shannon’s for years. Excellent customer service and products. Custom lampshades are beautiful! They have made me several lamps from ginger jars and also do rewiring of my old lamps. Will continue doing business there!
This is a wonderful family ran store. They have made lampshades for us and repaired several lamps. I would trust them with any of my lighting needs. Very honest people
This is a great locally owned company that provides expert lamp repair service. Theyre working on my third lamp now and have done excellent work on 2 others. This is the place to go for repair, new shades for lamps, parts, lamps. Friendly, prompt service and a real local treasure.
I have used Shannon Lamp Service for many years and have always had a great experience whether it was a lamp repair, a new shade or new lamp. It is a pleasure to deal with a local business which cares about their customers and provides excellent service along with fair prices.
Extremely happy with the two lamp shades Shannon Lamp made for lamps in my office. David was so accommodating and even got them to me a day earlier than expected. I will definitely use them again.
They quickly sent me a replacement glass shade for my antique-style lamp - and they had such a great selection! Such a pleasant website to deal with!
Beautiful Antique Lamp Fixtures at unbelievable prices. I live in North Carolina and have purchased three antique ceiling fixtures via their Web Site. David Shannon is easy to talk to and with whom to do business; honest and forthright. Each fixture had been restored, rewired and polished to perfection; arrived on time via UPS. His prices are a fraction of what one could find on other sites, and I wouldnt want to business anywhere else.
Needed a new globe for my grandmothers lamp and luckily I found Shannons they not only had different size globes but they make great looking shades for all of your lamps now I know where to go for all my lamp needs.
Ive been going to Shannon Lamp Service for years. They have made custom shades and some very cool lamps out of Mason jars for me and my family. Today, I stopped by for a quick lamp repair and was reminded of their great customer service, too!
I have used Shannon for years and don’t go anywhere else for lamp repairs and shades. I recently bought two shades that were fitted to my lamps and look just perfect.
Found Shannon Lamp on line looking for some unusual lamp parts. They provided immediate service and even honored a lower price that remained on the online ad. Parts arrived securely wrapped as advertised. No nonsense service at a fair price. Love to deal with a reliable small business!
I brought a lamp in today and the owner was able to fix it on the spot. Great and friendly service! I noticed several beautiful and unique lamps for sale as well.
We have two beautiful Aladdin floor lamps we couldnt find elsewhere. Theyre also making a custom lampshade for us and repairing a lamp from another store. The Best!
Luckily, I found this place online. This is a great little shop with friendly, knowledgeable service. I found exactly what I was looking for. So glad to be able to get the solution by using a local business rather than online!
I actually worked in a public school just two blocks away from Shannon Lamp from 1982 through 1999. I had several reasons during those 17 years to use them for repair/parts. I have continued using Shannons as a go to source for parts, lamps and shades since retiring. The staff is very knowledgeable and always friendly.
Shannon Lamp Service has provided me with excellent service and some interesting history of some of their custom made lamps. Truly beautiful work! They also do chair caning, which I was in need of for an old chair.
Creative, handmade, high quality, custom lamps and shades - theres nothing they cant do!
Great service! Great products! Everything custom....the best Ive found!
Shannons has been our lamp and shade source for over 30 years. Great personalized service. They have never failed to meet our expectations.
This speciality lamp company is able to make you a custom lamp, their quality is the best I have ever soon and I would highly recommend them,
