Lighting Plus Belfast is the Christchurch branch of Lightingplus, a New Zealand lighting specialist whose tagline — 'More than just lights, it's Lightingplus' — sums up a range that goes well beyond simple fittings. You'll find the store at Unit E2 of the Northwood Supa Centa, on the corner of Main North Road and Radcliffe Road in Belfast, serving the city's northern suburbs and beyond.
Inside, the range spans downlights and recessed LEDs, ceiling and bathroom lights, LED strip lighting, spotlights and track systems, wall lights for every setting, and one of the broadest pendant selections around — from small singles and chandeliers to linear, multi-light and stairwell designs in materials like timber, rattan, bamboo and linen. Floor and table lamps cover bedside, desk, touch, rechargeable and wireless-charging styles, while DIY batten-fix fittings and a commercial lighting range round things out.
Outside the living room, there's a full outdoor department: bollards, bulkheads, floodlights, garden lights, lanterns, security and sensor lighting, festoon string lights, solar options and coastal-rated fittings built for salt-air environments. Add in an extensive light bulb department — LED, halogen, decorative, and specialty oven, rangehood and heat lamps — plus ceiling fans with or without lights, and it's a genuine one-stop shop.
The service side matters here too: bookable lighting consultations, quotes, a 3D and AR visualisation tool, a Bulb Selector to match replacements by base, shape and size, and a TradeE+ programme for those working in the trade. A clearance section and SUPERDEALS offer bargains, while Bright Ideas provides inspiration if you're not sure where to start.
Ask anyone in Christchurch where to go when a light fitting dies at the worst possible moment, and there's a good chance the answer involves Lightingplus. The Belfast branch sits at Unit E2 of the Northwood Supa Centa, on the corner of Main North Road and Radcliffe Road — a handy stop for the northern suburbs and anyone passing through. It carries the breadth of what the brand does, which is considerably more than the name suggests.
The company describes itself with the line 'More than just lights, it's Lightingplus', and the catalogue bears that out. Yes, there are light bulbs — hundreds of them, from everyday LEDs to oven and rangehood lamps many people didn't know existed. But there are also ceiling fans, outdoor lighting built for coastal conditions, and enough pendant styles to keep a design lover browsing for an hour.
Indoors, the range covers every layer of a lighting plan. There are downlights and recessed LEDs (surface-mounted options too, plus sensor fittings and convertor plates), bathroom-rated ceiling lights, LED strip lighting, spotlights and track systems, and wall lights running from contemporary and vanity styles through to traditional, switched and IP-rated fittings.
Pendants are where things get expressive: small singles for over a bench, large statement pieces, chandeliers, linear and multi-light designs for dining tables, and stairwell pendants for double-height voids. Materials matter here — timber, rattan, bamboo and linen pendants give a softer, natural look alongside the rest of the range.
Lamps get serious treatment as well: floor and table lamps, bedside and desk lamps, touch lamps, rechargeable lamps you can move around the house, and designs with wireless charging built in. DIY-ers are covered with batten-fix fittings, and commercial projects have a dedicated commercial lighting section with accessories, transformers and dimmers.
The outdoor department is a category of its own: bollards and garden lights for paths, bulkheads and wall lights for exteriors, floodlights, security and sensor lighting, lanterns, festoon string lights, solar options and outdoor LED strip. The coastal-rated range deserves a specific mention — fittings chosen to stand up to salt air, which matters in a city where the sea is never far away.
Then there are the humble bulbs: LED in clear, frosted and large formats, halogen, incandescent, fluorescent, dimmable, vintage and decorative styles, plus specialty lamps for ovens, rangehoods, heat fittings and nightlights. If you're unsure what your fitting takes, the Bulb Selector narrows it down by base type, shape and size — or bring the old bulb in and match it.
Ceiling fans round out the offer, with or without lights, including light-adaptable models, close-to-ceiling and wood-effect designs, plus fan rods, lights and remotes.
Where Lightingplus works to stand apart is the advice. You can book a consultation for a whole-home lighting plan, request a quote for a bigger job, or apply for TradeE+ if you work in the trade. There's a 3D and AR tool for visualising fittings in your own space, a Bright Ideas section of inspiration, and 'Lighting Hints and Facts' for the technical questions.
Browsing is organised helpfully too — by room (bedroom, kitchen, living, bathroom, outdoor, garden) and by style, from Scandinavian and mid-century to industrial, art deco and bohemian. A clearance section and SUPERDEALS cover the bargains, while the Studio Collection showcases the more design-led end of the range.
For Belfast locals, the practical upshot is simple: the whole Lightingplus offering — from a single replacement bulb to a full lighting plan — sits just up Main North Road at Northwood Supa Centa. Shortlist online before you visit, or start with Bright Ideas if you're at the 'where do I even begin' stage of a renovation.
