We've worked with Tom on many projects, and his professionalism never fails to impress us. He is expert at finding exquisite fixtures and refurbishing them with the utmost care. Whenever we have the opportunity, we use his lights - they're really gorgeous, and often the perfect finishing touch for formal gathering rooms and truly elegant spaces.

Tom Powers is wonderful to work with. He is a true artisan and loves to share his knowledge. I highly recommend him for all things antique lighting. Very fair, very accommodating. Amazing selection of beautifully restored chandeliers, sconces and unusual fixtures.

We have worked with Tom Powers, Genuine Antique Lighting, several times to find the perfect antique lights for a number of areas in our almost 120 year old house. Tom has deep knowledge about period lighting, and will bring lights to the home for your inspection so you can see what they look like in the space you're contemplating for installation. Tom is great to work with, and the fixtures we have purchased from him contribute in a major way to the beauty and historical period of our house. Highest recommendation!

Tom was a delight to work with. He helped to guide me toward the appropriate lighting for the dimensions of my rooms and the drop I would need. He also emailed me pictures of the kinds of lighting I was looking for. Ordering was a breeze. I couldn't be happier.

Tom is very knowledgeable and passionate about antique lighting. Over the years, we have been buying our antique lighting from him for our home renovations. Our guests marvel about the uniqueness of the light fixtures he had sold us. Tom's professionalism in the light business is outstanding in so many ways.

I have had the pleasure of working with Tom for over 25 years because he is the consummate professional. He is very willing to share his deep knowledge of antique lighting and assist in finding the optimal fixture for any project. In two cases where I couldn't find the exact fixtures I envisioned in a space, Tom worked with me to create beautiful pieces from multiple lights. Tom's ethics and integrity are the highest anyone will find.

Tom Powers is the go to guy for all kinds of vintage light fixtures! We came across Tom and his shop via Facebook and decide to take a trip Genuine Antique Light. Boy were we impressed with his shop/museum! It's a pleasure to know artisans like him exist in the 21st century. He's friendly, personable, knowledgeable and an all around great guy! Thanks so much for our wonderful 1870s electrified chandelier and courtyard light. We've received countless compliments over the past few months, all on your account. We'll be back soon!

My historic landmark Victorian home now has beautiful 19th century light fixtures in all the main rooms thanks to Tom of Genuine Antique Lighting. His selection is great of true antique lighting that has been carefully restored. The quality of product received always exceeded my expectation. The packaging for shipment of these fragile items was almost overkill so that nothing was ever damaged in transit. I wholeheartedly recommend buying from Genuine Antique Lighting.

Unique lighting that Tom adjusted for my very tall ceilings. My project turned out so great the contractor uses a pic of my kitchen in his portfolio, everyone wants to know where to get the lights! I looked last night and hard for lighting, very happy with Tom.

Simply the best source for antique lighting anywhere! The website is comprehensive and easy to search and Tom has a great eye. We've been working with him for over a decade to restore our victorian and he's brought us some amazing fixtures! We have always been pleased with his quality, service, and attention to detail.

Great shop who took the time and effort to work out a beautiful solution for our master bath remodel. Tom also has been an invaluable resource for identifying lamp age and value of existing lamps in my 1800s house, and suggesting alternative solutions.

I wish I could give no stars to this vendor. I joined yelp to hopefully prevent others from having as negative experience as I had. I recently brought three antique fixtures to this vendor to have them restored and repaired. I had several quotes from other vendors and went with Light Power because it was the most convenient. Big mistake. I spent a fortune and they were returned to me as dirty and dingy as when they were delivered.

The owner would not resolve the issue and said he would have charged me double. I have since found a much better vendor, Gary's Antiques and Light Restoration in Northborough. Totally worth the drive. A lovely man, beautiful work and very reasonably priced.

When we were building our house on Cape Cod, we debated about the style of lighting to use. Most of the fixtures in the house were modern. But when we saw what Light Power could do with antique fixtures, we ended up with three fixtures that Tom custom fitted. They are the lighting center pieces of the kitchen, the dining area, and our front foyer.

The antique lights give the rooms a warmth and a genuine feel that new fixtures just can't match. And interestingly, they make the other modern fixtures look even better in their own right. It's nice to work with folks in an old-fashioned business where they truly understand their product and make sure that you're totally satisfied. We are.

We live in your typical center-entrance colonial with a formal dining room. In a recent remodel we were stymied by with what kind of chandelier to replace our old outdated one. In researching lighting in the Boston area we stumbled upon this unassuming antique lighting shop on the outskirts of Boston's South End. The shop is chock-full of extraordinary lighting that spans historical periods.

The inventory is so extensive with many unique pieces that it could make your head spin. The owner was extremely helpful in helping us assess our lighting needs, in terms of style, size, and illumination. This made the selection process not so overwhelming. The owner was able to customize the lighting to our specific needs. Visitors to our home frequently comment on the beauty of our chandelier.
