First Light Optics Ltd Avaliações 

Had a large pre-retirement list of equipment and accessories which I checked and sourced entirely through FLO over several weeks.
Outstanding service.
My endless email queries answered promptly, patiently and intelligently. All goods properly packed and delivered swiftly.
Many thanks to FLO employees Chris, Alex, Lee & Ian for their help and advice - and also the guys at the warehouse whose names I did not know, who were equally professional and helpful. Cheers all, I'll be back - Spike

Consistently great and friendly service over a couple decades of purchasing. Frequently going above and beyond the call of duty to win your life-long loyalty.

Great company to deal with , everything i ordered arrived promptly and well packaged …quick response also to emails and queries…
All i have to do now is get to grips with my new telescope !
Would recommend this company

First off I am an amateur-amateur astronomer who would like to do better!
A couple of minor disasters over the years left me with a less than safe tripod!
I looked a first light's website and found it really very easy to use, so I made an enquiry and very quickly Chris came back to me with information on which I asked for more information. The reply was fast and gave me the answer I was looking for so I bought my tripod which arrived quickly as promised well packaged in first class condition!
I've been more than pleased with my experience with FLO and hope to be returning with more orders as my experience grows! I can definitely recommend this company!
Thanks Chris and First Light for the help and positive experience!

Fantastic company with great customer service. Would recommend without hesitation.

I bought an 8" dobsonian telescope from this company and cheshire collimation tool from this company. From start to finish they were superb. I asked some questions and they responded very quickly. I had questuins regarding further purchases and rather than getting more money out of me, advised me that the other purchase wasnt nesessary. The order arrived on the 2nd day after purchase. Incredible experience and my go too now for everything astronomy related.

Super Company no sales pressure just proper technical advice; ordered my telescope

Nothing was too much trouble after having problems with a battery inside a unit. Unit was still in warranty. Very responsive via email and got a new battery in two days. I probably wouldn't use anyone else.

Excellent customer service. I bought a Dobsonian telescope from this company about a month ago. It came really fast and was very impressive.

I accidentally knocked the telescope over onto carpet which cracked a small plastic part. I contacted them over email asking to buy a replacement part. The customer support (Alex) was very kind and got in contact with the brand Bressier and arranged to have them ship me a new part completely free. I have the part now a week later and my telescope is good as new.

Very happy with this company especially considering it was an error on my part, not theirs, and they still helped me fix it. I will definitely be buying from them again if I want more equipment.

Thank you!!

I placed an order for a Sky-Watcher telescope that was clearly listed as in stock on their website. After taking full payment, they went completely silent. Only when I followed up did they casually inform me that the item had actually been discontinued — something they should have known and disclosed before accepting my money.

There was no apology, no responsibility taken, and no proactive communication. Instead, they waited for me to chase them, then offered to sell the same components separately at a higher price. Absolutely unacceptable.

A company claiming to be professional should at least keep their listings accurate and inform customers immediately when an order cannot be fulfilled. This experience has been frustrating, disappointing, and a complete waste of time.

I would strongly advise others to think twice before ordering from them.

Excellent company. I have bought a lot of astronomy equipment from them over the years. They are reliable,efficient and provide an excellent service. They give helpful advice and generally go above and beyond what could reasonably be expected

My parcel worth iver 500pound was taken to the totally wrong addreds ans now even tho they have admitted o have not recievzd it,they are making me wait and wait its been 4 daysvsince they lost my parcel..also customer service is horrible..theres no phone number to call and emails get left un answered

Avoid this company
Avoid any company that sells high value items but doesnt have a customer service number to phone

Edit

The company tried to force a replacement on me .it was only after i contacted trading standards and i told the company that trading standards said they cant force a replacement

Only then was a refund issued ...the companys response is a lie saying it was a no fuss refund....AVOID THIS COMPANY.
AVOID THIS COMPANY I TRIED TO ASK A QUESTION SO I CAN ORDER ANITHER TELESCOPE AFTER THERE LAST MESS UP AND THZ COMPANY TOLD ME THEY WONT TAKE MY ORDER BECAUSE I LEFT A NEGATIVE REVIEW

DELAY IN UPDATE DUE TO PERSONAL MATTERS

REPORTED TO TRADIN STANDARDS AND EMAILS SHARED WITH RELEVENT PEOPLE

Top Company this one.
Ordered x2 Skywatcher wedges when out of stock.
Ann from customer services did an AMAZING job sorting my order out. 6 stars.

Spoke to Vince on a couple of occasions and he was a great help. Ordered Seestar S50 yesterday 2nd July @14-32 and received it today 3rd July @ 14-52 via DPD. Excellent service just got to unbox, setup and try ASAP!

I contacted several astronomy equipment suppliers about a way to allow my 5-yr old grandson access, maybe on a tablet or PC, to see what I can see through the eyepiece of my Nexstar 8SE. Replies varied from nothing, to "not really as good as an eyepiece", until I was blown away by the first class response from FLO. An introduction to EAA, options for a set up to achieve what I wanted, all done at the speed of light (well, almost). All my follow up questions were answered just as promptly, and delivery of my final order was managed exactly as I wanted. We're both delighted with the result, and I cannot recommend FLO highly enough.

I’ve purchased atlases, meteorites and a set of ED binoculars and First Light seem quick, thorough and professionally organized. I was particularly pleased with their planisphere. It might be a quaint observing aid but theirs is definitely the best on the market.
They also converse swiftly and helpfully to inquiries.
I will certainly use them in future.

First Light Optics consistently delivers outstanding service. A great example is my recent experience: I had an issue with my ZWO camera, and within a week it was collected, repaired, and returned to me. Truly impressive service. Call out to Chris in the FLO team.

I decided to get get into amateur astronomy and focus on solar for now because at the solar maximum. FLO has been my go to place for the equipment in three orders I done to get operational: Solarquest mount, Pentax zoom eyepiece, Lunt 60 h-alpha scope and a ZWO camera. Everything shipped fast, they uses DHL who are the best of the good delivering companies in my opinion. All items packed in a way I expect impossible could be harmed by any transportation disasters. Ok, so why the missing star? Well, I am Norwegian and FLO do not handle if all items is under 300 sterling in an order. Some trade complication between UK and Norway. Flo says are working on a solution, please do, that Lunt 1.25" Herscel prism incomming from a German shop as I write could been your business :D

I've been a regular customer for 5-6 years and I've never had a problem. Staff have always been very helpful & providing items are in stock, delivery has been prompt & well packed.

I purchased a Sky-watcher telescope from First Light Optics one month ago and decided to upgrade the primary mirror mask. I experienced terrible problems trying to remove the screws securing the primary mirror. Essentially the screws were so corroded that removing them required mole grips and not a screw driver. When I contacted FLO there was no offer of any assistance or even recognition of my concerns.
Having spent the best part of £1,700 on the telescope with upgrades, It's very disappointing,. I wasn't looking for a refund I just needed some assistance because all of the mirror mounting screws are unusable.
After much communication I was eventually contacted by another member of the FLO team who took my concerns seriously. They offered to collect the primary mirror and make good the issues with the fit of the mounting screws.
