Who We Serve

Testimonials

"...Late last semester, I was given a budget to purchase new fixtures and Rick worked with me to get what we wanted to fit my budget cap. He worked with me over the pricing so that I can purchase 20 Color Source LED fixtures along with all accessories under budget. I always had and in the future, will continue to have a great working relationship with Rick. The level of service provided by XS Lighting had been very high and I am always very satisfied with both goods and services."

"I have recently worked with XS Lighting to upgrade the lights in our district performing art center. This collaboration comes after being dissatisfied with two other lighting companies in the Kansas City area. There are many reasons we will continue to work with XS Lighting besides getting a fair price on a good product. First, Rick listened to what we wanted to accomplish with our limited budget...Second, Rick was very patient and honest answering all our questions. He did not​ try to sell us something we did not need...Third, XS Lighting did an excellent job installing the lights. They ran all the wiring, hung and focused the lights, and asked us if they were to our satisfaction throughout the entire process...Finally, the lights themselves are phenomenal. The obvious advantage is the lower electric cost..."
