If you’re in the market for high style at a discount—and who isn’t?—Ultra is the spot for lighting. Customers benefit from prices that are, on average, 25 per cent below standard. Keep walking past the occasional unfortunate novelty (a $65 plastic table lamp in the shape of a men’s shirt, for example) and you’ll surely find some gems. Highlights include an good assortment of crystal lamps ($200–$2,000) and a crystal chandelier with a lovely organza shade ($250). For something less expensive, a simple glass sconce is a steal at just $29. In-home lighting consultations are available for $200, but fear not: the fee is redeemable against a future purchase.
