Butler Lighting serves customers with very different needs, from trade professionals who specify, design, build, and install lighting every week to homeowners choosing a single chandelier for their home. Everyone has access to the same extensive product selection, trusted brands, knowledgeable phone support, and exceptional in-person service. What changes is how we serve you. From tailored pricing and proactive lead-time planning to product recommendations and selection support, we adapt our approach to fit your project, your business, and the level of service you need.
Three ways to buy
Shop online
Order from the full catalog and ship nationwide. Product pages carry specs, finish options, dimensions, and lamping details so you can compare before you commit.
Special order
Need a size, finish, or downrod we do not stock at our warehouse? If the brand offers it, we can quote it, order it, and track it through to your door or job site.
Who we serve
We handle lighting budgets of every size, from luxury homes to strict budgets, and still help you find strong options. Choose your path below, or use the audience grid for a quick overview.
Every budget, every customer type
In the same week, we might develop a lighting plan with a custom home builder and their client, then work with a real estate investment group to maximize value across new construction, renovations, or rental turnovers where every dollar counts. Both receive the same level of attention, expertise, and care. When a selection exceeds your budget, we’ll present alternatives at a lower price point and explain the trade-offs, whether that means differences in finish quality, glass, dimming performance, or warranty coverage. And when spending more delivers meaningful value, we’ll tell you that, too. Great lighting isn’t always about spending more. It’s about making informed choices, balancing your budget, and getting the layering, color temperature, and scale right.
Support that continues after the order ships
Fixtures are fragile, finishes vary between production runs, and dimmers do not always cooperate with LED drivers. We stay with the order through those moments. That means handling freight damage and replacement parts, holding material in our warehouse until the site is ready, coordinating delivery, and answering the technical questions that come up during install, such as whether a dimmer will pair cleanly with a driver or how to match color temperature across fixtures from different brands.
Common questions
Do I need a trade account to buy from Butler Lighting?
No. Anyone can order online or walk into a showroom. A trade pro account adds trade pricing and a dedicated contact for professionals who buy regularly.
Can I order if I am not in the Carolinas?
Yes. We ship across the USA. Cash and carry, pickup, and local delivery are showroom services, so those are for customers near our Carolinas locations.
Can you hold an order until the job site is ready?
That is a normal request on builder and multi family work. Tell your salesperson the release schedule you need and we will plan warehousing and delivery around it.
What happens if a fixture arrives damaged?
Let us know right away with photos of the carton and the fixture. We handle the claim and the replacement so you are not negotiating with a freight carrier mid project.
Will you help select fixtures for a whole house?
Yes, and it is easier for everyone if you bring plans, finish selections, and photos. Start with our buying guides or browse brands, then contact a showroom to work through the schedule room by room.
