Advertising & affiliate disclosure

Lighting Directory is free to use. This page explains how the site is (and plans to be) funded, so you can weigh what you read here with full information.

Affiliate links

Some links from store profiles to retailers' websites may be affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, the retailer may pay us a commission. This costs you nothing — prices are the same whether you arrive through our link or directly.

Featured placements

Stores marked Featured receive additional visibility in the directory. Featured status may be provided as a paid placement. It is always labeled, and it does not change how a store is categorized or described.

What money doesn't buy

• Inclusion in the directory. Stores are listed through editorial review — see the about page for the principles behind it. No retailer can pay to be listed or to avoid removal.
• Categorization. Which categories, styles, and rooms a store appears under reflects its actual catalog, not its commercial relationship with us.
• Accuracy flags. If a store's website stops responding, we say so on its profile — affiliate partner or not.
