Cartwright Lighting

Based on quality, service and design, Cartwright Lighting consistently ranks number one in Calgary. For Tony VandeKraats and his family, who run the store, having the best selection and the highest quality service is always a top priority. Over the years, Cartwright has become a part of the VandeKraats family and, with a family member at the store at most times, this has translated into great customer service and experienced management. This family business dynamic is palpable in the energy of the store, the staff is warm, energetic and creates a genuine sense in the store that they enjoy what they do and care about doing a good job. This dedication has helped Cartwright Lighting earn ten consecutive Consumer Choice Awards for business excellence. Being situated in a 45,000 square foot facility has given Cartwright Lighting an edge over its competitors on a number of fronts. First, it allows the store to show more product in its comprehensive showroom - which is the largest lighting showroom in Western Canada - than any other competitor. Second, it allows the store to carry a tremendous amount of inventory. And if the product a customer needs is not in Cartwright’s extensive warehouse, we may be able to get it from our sister store, Park Lighting, within the week. Whether you are a general customer, homebuilder, contractor, designer, or electrician, Cartwright Lighting has the technical knowledge, product, organizational capacity and strong commitment to exceptional customer service that is necessary to serve your needs – no matter what your budget level. Cartwright Lighting’s commitment to exceptional customer service extends beyond the sales staff. Having service people on hand to answer questions, follow up with products or installation, or make repairs on older fixtures, means customers are not left on their own—even when they leave the store. Thanks to the excellent staff and the loyalty of their customer base, Cartwright Lighting has grown into a flourishing local business and has, as a result, been able to give thousands of dollars to various charities close to their hearts. Four Saturdays a year, Cartwright Lighting and Park Lighting donate the sum total of the day’s sales of each store to one of its chosen causes; Firefighters Burn Victim Society, fight AIDS in Africa through CRWRC, help fund homes and services for the mentally and physically challenged through Rehoboth, mitigate world hunger and so many more.
