Light Bulbs Unlimited & Mobile Service

About us

Light Bulbs Unlimited was established in 1985 by Robin Cowan on Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica. However, we would soon expand our horizons by opening two more stores across the LA area—one in West Hollywood on Beverly Boulevard and the other in Sherman Oaks on Ventura Boulevard.

After initially specializing in the retail of vintage and hard-to-find light bulbs, or anything else that shined a light, Light Bulbs Unlimited eventually had to switch gears and grow in the world of lighting with the rise of the internet and online shopping. Though we still carry and sell normal and hard-to-find bulbs, as well as a large selection of unique event and party lighting, we decided to not only sell customers light bulbs, but offer to install them at their home and business. Thus, LBU’s mobile service arm, Light Bulb Pros emitted its first flicker of light and began catering lighting solutions to LA’s lighting needs.
