Gibson Lighting

We have worked with Jim and his team for over 15 years now. He first restored and recreated lamps for our 1928 home. He even replicated a light fixture that we needed a second one of. Nothing is too complicated or impossible in his eyes.
And the craftsmanship is impeccable.
Now, years later, we still only think of one place where to rewire or fix any lamp fixtures.
He just rewired a myriad of imported antique French lights for our two restaurants and the results are simply stunning. Everything the team does is true artistry.
We love to go and look through the found lights hanging in his shop and look for treasure.
A truly unique place.

Lowery's Hot Glass in Old Town San Diego has been producing beautiful, hand blown glass lighting for over 20 years. Recently we have had several projects that have dovetailed with Gibson Lighting. I just want to publicly say that it is so refreshing to do business with such a casually professional company. Jim produced above and beyond my expectations on all of the occasions that we have collectively contributed. I can't wait for what's coming up next! To take the old and marry it with the new is beyond exciting and Jim and his team make the journey incredibly enjoyable!

Jim is the best at custom iron lighting in San Diego! He does such a beautiful job and very easy to work with. Truly an Artist! I want him to work on pendent lights for my kitchen next. Very friendly and just seems to know so much about design, scale etc...

I am a professional Interior Designer and have been working with Jim at Gibson Lighting for many years on several projects ranging from historic to modern. I love walking into the shop, which I compare to a candy store, with all kinds of light fixtures and parts everywhere. If he doesn't have what I am looking for, we will collaborate on a unique custom fixture for my clients. I have had many custom fixtures made and repaired by Gibson they are very knowledgeable and great to work with. Jim is definitely my go to lighting guy as I know I will end up with something special that my clients will enjoy for many years to come.

Jim did an amazing job both restoring our antique fixtures and also re-creating additional fixtures inside and outside for our 1929 Requa historic home. 6 years later, the fixtures are pristine and it is one of the things we get the most compliments on about our home. Would highly recommend!

Gibson lighting is hands down the best and most valuable lighting resource for my company. As an interior designer, I've been fortunate to work with Jim and his team to create custom fixtures and modify antique or other fixtures. They make our vision become a reality, no matter the challenge!

Jim has worked with us on 2 restaurant build outs. He brings creativity and enthusiasm to whatever he does and he brings it in on time. I always look forward to working with him because he is such a professional.

Gibson Lighting is a rare find. Jim Gibson specializes in antique restoration, he is UL approved and is the only one I know qualified to re-wire and restore vintage fixtures. He can copy just about any fixture or create beautiful new ones as well. His staff is amazing and friendly too. Their turn around time for repairs is quick too. Jim does large commercial projects for Vegas hotels, fine restaurants but he always happy to take small jobs as well. I also love to wander in his shop, he has hundreds of antique fixtures from all periods and he is always working on something new and exciting.

I have worked with Jim & crew for many years on various projects, always a pleasure. He always ""gets"" what I want to do with lighting needs & comes through with wonderful results. I have also purchased wonderful vintage fixtures & shades from him, always a changing inventory.
