Safer Lighting

5-Year Warranty

Warranty Terms

Effective Date: June 19, 2026 | Last Updated: June 19, 2026

Safer Lighting Inc. stands behind the quality of every product we sell. This warranty is in addition to, and does not limit, any rights you have under the Ontario Consumer Protection Act, 2002 or the Ontario Sale of Goods Act, R.S.O. 1990, including implied conditions of fitness for purpose and merchantability.

1. What Is Covered

Safer Lighting Inc. warrants that our lighting products (LED panels, potlights, high-bays, commercial fixtures, drivers, and related accessories) are free from defects in materials and workmanship for the warranty periods below, measured from the original date of purchase:

  • Commercial LED fixtures (panels, troffer, high-bay, linear): 5 years
  • Residential potlights and downlights: 5 years
  • LED drivers and power supplies: 3 years
  • Accessories (wiring harnesses, mounting hardware): 1 year
  • Clearance / as-is items: 30 days from delivery (defects only)

2. Scope of Remedy

If a covered defect is reported within the warranty period, we will at our option:

  • Replace the defective unit with an identical or equivalent product; or
  • Issue a store credit or refund equal to the original purchase price of the defective unit

For customers within our Greater Toronto Area service area (within approximately 100 km of Brampton, Ontario), warranty replacements on fixtures of 50W or greater may include free professional installation labour by Safer Electric Inc. (ESA/ECRA Licence #7008996). See Section 4 for details and the geographic scope of labour coverage.

3. What Is Not Covered

This warranty does not cover:

  • Defects, damage, or failure caused by installation performed in a manner that directly caused the reported defect or failure, as determined upon inspection by a licensed electrician (e.g., reversed polarity causing driver burnout, excessive voltage applied to a driver rated for a different input range)
  • Physical damage from impact, water ingress beyond the product's rated IP rating, or environmental exposure beyond rated specifications
  • Normal wear and lumen depreciation within the product's rated L70 lifespan
  • Products modified after delivery (rewired, rehoused, or component-swapped)
  • Damage resulting from use with incompatible dimmer switches where the product specification sheet indicates dimmer compatibility requirements
  • Products purchased from unauthorized resellers

Note on the installation exclusion: The exclusion above applies only where the installation issue directly caused the reported defect. Minor code deviations that are unrelated to the reported failure do not void this warranty. We will not deny a warranty claim on the basis of a code deviation that did not contribute to the reported defect.

4. Labour Coverage — Geographic Scope

Professional installation labour for warranty replacements is provided by Safer Electric Inc. (ESA/ECRA Licence #7008996) and is available subject to the following conditions:

  • Eligible area: Properties within approximately 100 km of Brampton, Ontario (Greater Toronto Area and surrounding municipalities including Hamilton, Barrie, Oshawa, and Guelph service corridors)
  • Eligible products: Fixtures of 50W or greater; multi-fixture commercial installations
  • Scheduling: Labour appointments are scheduled by mutual agreement within 15 business days of claim approval

Outside the GTA service area: For customers outside the labour coverage area, Safer Lighting will ship a replacement unit at no cost. We will also reimburse documented labour costs for installation of the replacement unit by an ESA-licensed electrical contractor, up to $150 per fixture per warranty claim (maximum 2 fixtures per claim). To claim labour reimbursement, submit your licensed electrician's invoice to warranty@saferlighting.ca within 60 days of receiving the replacement unit.

Business Continuity

The labour component of this warranty is provided by Safer Electric Inc. In the event that Safer Electric Inc. is unable to provide warranty labour services (due to restructuring, change in ESA licence status, or cessation of operations), Safer Lighting Inc. will honour the labour reimbursement commitment described above (up to $150 per fixture, maximum 2 fixtures per claim) for all active warranty periods, converting the labour obligation to a reimbursement right against Safer Lighting directly.

5. Proof of Purchase Requirement

To process a warranty claim under this express warranty, you must provide proof that the product was purchased from Safer Lighting Inc. and proof of the original purchase date. This allows us to verify that the claim falls within the applicable warranty period and that the product is a genuine Safer Lighting product.

We accept the following forms of proof of purchase, listed in order of preference:

  1. Safer Lighting order number (preferred) — if you purchased online at saferlighting.ca or through saferinventory.com, your order number is in your confirmation email and your account order history. We can verify this directly in our system.
  2. Original sales receipt or invoice — a paper or digital receipt showing the Safer Lighting Inc. name, the product purchased, and the purchase date.
  3. Credit card or bank statement — a statement showing a charge from "Safer Lighting" or "Safer Electric" with the purchase date. You may redact unrelated transactions.
  4. Contractor purchase order or project invoice — for contractor accounts, a PO or invoice referencing the product and dated within the warranty period.
  5. Installation permit or ESA inspection record — an electrical permit or inspection certificate referencing the installation date, which establishes the latest possible purchase date.

What if you no longer have proof of purchase?

If you purchased from saferlighting.ca or saferinventory.com, your order is permanently on record in our system. Providing your email address, name, or approximate purchase date is often sufficient for us to locate your order and verify the claim — you do not need to find a physical receipt for online purchases.

If you purchased through a licensed electrical contractor or a third-party reseller and have no documentation, we may be able to assist by contacting that party directly on your behalf. Contact warranty@saferlighting.ca to discuss your situation before concluding a claim is not possible.

Important — this proof of purchase requirement applies to our express warranty only. Your separate rights under Ontario's Sale of Goods Act and Consumer Protection Act (implied warranties) exist independently of this express warranty and do not require you to satisfy these documentation requirements to us — those rights may be pursued through Ontario courts or the Consumer Protection Branch regardless of documentation status.

6. How to Make a Warranty Claim

  1. Email warranty@saferlighting.ca with the following:
    • Your Safer Lighting order number or other proof of purchase (see Section 5)
    • Product name and SKU (found on the product label or your order confirmation)
    • Purchase date (or approximate date if exact date is not known)
    • Description of the defect or failure
    • Photos or short video clearly showing the defect
    • Confirmation that the product was installed by or under the supervision of a licensed electrician
  2. We will respond within 3 business days with a claim number. If we can verify your purchase from our own records, we will note that in our response. If additional documentation is needed, we will tell you specifically what is required.
  3. If the defective unit must be returned for inspection, we will provide a prepaid return shipping label. Do not discard the defective unit until instructed.
  4. Upon claim approval, replacement units are shipped within 5 business days. GTA labour scheduling will be coordinated by Safer Electric Inc.

7. Warranty Transferability

This warranty is transferable to subsequent owners of the property where the product was installed. To make a warranty claim as a subsequent owner, you must provide: (a) proof of original purchase (any of the forms listed in Section 5) establishing the original purchase date; and (b) documentation of the ownership transfer (e.g., property deed, bill of sale, or a written statement from the original purchaser). The warranty term runs from the original purchase date regardless of how many times ownership has changed.

8. Statutory Rights Preserved

This warranty is provided in addition to your rights under Ontario law. The Ontario Consumer Protection Act, 2002 (s. 9) and the Ontario Sale of Goods Act, R.S.O. 1990 (ss. 14–15) imply conditions of merchantability and fitness for purpose into consumer sales that cannot be excluded or varied. This express warranty does not reduce those implied rights. Where there is any conflict between this warranty and your statutory rights, your statutory rights prevail.

5-Year Promise

5-Year Product Warranty + 1 Year of Labour Included in the GTA

Every LED we sell carries a 5-year warranty on the product against defects in materials and workmanship. In the first year, replacement labour is also included in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) — a licensed electrician from Safer Electric handles the swap at no charge. We can stand behind every LED on this site because we vet them ourselves and we have a licensed electrical contractor on the same letterhead. The warranty isn't marketing, it's how we sleep at night.

File a Warranty Claim

Full 5-Year Warranty on Every LED Product

Every LED fixture we sell, including pot lights, panels, high bays, wall packs, floods, strips, and integrated commercial fixtures, carries a full 5-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship from the date of original purchase.

1 Full Year of Labour Included in the GTA — We Send a Licensed Electrician

In the first year after purchase, if your LED light fails due to a defect, our sister company Safer Electric Inc. (ESA Licence #7008996) sends a licensed electrician anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) to remove, replace, and re-commission the unit at no charge. The labour is on us, even if Safer Electric did not perform the original installation. Years 2 through 5, the product is still covered — we ship a free replacement.

1-Year Labour Coverage Across the GTA

Labour coverage in the first year applies anywhere Safer Electric travels in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Outside our service area? We ship the free replacement and you arrange installation. Either way, your product is covered for the full 5 years.

In-House Claims: One Phone Call

No manufacturer-portal runaround. Call us at 905-451-LEDS (5337) with your order number and a photo of the failed unit, and we handle the rest. Typical claim resolution: under 5 business days.

Warranty FAQ

Which products are covered by the 5-year warranty?

Every LED product we sell, including pot lights, panels, high bays, wall packs, floods, strips, vanity fixtures, integrated flush mounts, and commercial linear fixtures, carries a full 5-year warranty.

Non-LED items (wire, breakers, devices, conduit, fittings, tools) carry the manufacturer's standard warranty for that item, which varies by product. The product page lists the applicable warranty for each non-LED SKU.

Is the replacement labour really included?

Yes, for the first year. Our LED products carry a 5-year warranty on the product against defects in materials and workmanship. Within that period, the first year of replacement labour is included for claims within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) — we send a licensed electrician from Safer Electric Inc. (ESA Licence #7008996) to remove the failed unit and install the replacement at no charge to you.

For defect claims in years 2 through 5, the product is still fully covered — we ship a free replacement unit. The labour portion is your responsibility after year one, but the product warranty keeps protecting you the entire 5 years. Even after year one, our in-house claims team handles all coordination — you never deal with a manufacturer's portal.

What if I'm outside the Safer Electric service area?

If your address is outside the area Safer Electric travels for service, we still cover the warranty. Two options:

  • We ship a free replacement product to you (you arrange installation through any licensed electrician).
  • You hire a licensed electrician of your choice and submit the labour invoice to us. We reimburse the labour portion of the invoice up to a fair-rate cap published in our warranty terms (see the full terms below for the current cap).

Either way, you are not paying for the defective product itself.

What is *not* covered by the warranty?

The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. It does not cover:

  • Damage from improper installation that does not follow the Ontario Electrical Safety Code or the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Damage from physical abuse, accidents, vandalism, or natural disasters (lightning, flood, fire).
  • Damage from power surges where no surge-protective device was installed on the circuit, where the manufacturer's spec sheet requires one.
  • Damage from operating the fixture outside its rated voltage, ambient temperature, IP rating, or wet/dry-location rating.
  • Cosmetic wear (scratches, finish discoloration on outdoor fixtures past 3 years) that does not affect function.
  • Modifications, repairs, or part-substitutions performed by anyone other than us or the manufacturer.
  • Products sold as "final sale", "clearance", "as-is", "open-box", or "B-stock", these are sold at a discount in exchange for a shorter or no warranty, which is disclosed on the product page.
How do I file a warranty claim?

Three steps:

  1. Call 905-451-LEDS (5337) or email info@saferlighting.ca. Have your order number ready (or contractor-account name).
  2. Send us a photo or short video of the failed unit, in place, with a brief description of how it failed.
  3. We confirm coverage, ship the replacement, and, if you are within our service area, schedule the install. Typical resolution: under 5 business days.

You do not need to ship the failed unit back to us first. We collect it from the site when our electrician installs the replacement, or you can drop it at the Brampton showroom afterwards.

Is the warranty transferable if I sell my house?

Yes. The 5-year warranty runs from the date of original purchase and covers the product, not the buyer. If you sell your home, the remaining warranty period transfers to the new owner. They will need a copy of the original order receipt or contractor invoice to make a claim.

Does the warranty cover labour for a *new* installation?

No. The warranty only covers replacement labour for a defective fixture installed in its original location. For new installations, retrofits, or moves to a different location, contact Safer Electric directly at saferelectric.ca for an installation quote.

Where can I read the full legal warranty terms?

The full warranty terms are at the bottom of this page (below this FAQ). They form part of our Terms of Service.

FULL TERMS & CONDITIONS

Safer Lighting 5-Year LED Warranty: Full Terms

These are the full legally enforceable terms of the Safer Lighting LED warranty: 5 years on the product, with 1 year of replacement labour included in the GTA. They form part of our Terms of Service. We have written them in plain English so you can actually read them.

1. What this warranty covers

Safer Lighting Inc. (operating saferlighting.ca, the "Company") warrants every LED product sold through this site against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of five (5) years from the date of original purchase by the first end user (the "Warranty Period").

Covered LED products include, without limitation: recessed pot lights, slim panel downlights, flush-mount panels, vanity bars, LED flat panels, high-bay fixtures, linear strip lights, wall packs, flood lights, parking-lot shoeboxes, and integrated commercial linear fixtures.

2. What the warranty entitles you to

If a covered LED product fails during the Warranty Period as a result of a defect in materials or workmanship, and the failure is verified by us, the sole remedy available is:

  • Replacement with the same product or, if the same SKU is no longer manufactured, a comparable substitute of equal or greater specification, selected at our sole discretion, at no charge.

No monetary refunds are issued under this warranty under any circumstances. Replacement is the exclusive remedy. Replacement labour is provided as described in section 3.

3. Replacement labour coverage

Every covered LED product carries a 5-year warranty on the product against defects in materials and workmanship. In addition, for the first twelve (12) months from the date of original purchase, Safer Lighting also covers replacement labour for verified defect claims at installation addresses within our sister company Safer Electric Inc.'s service area in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) (ESA Licence #7008996). During this one-year labour period, Safer Lighting will arrange and pay for a licensed electrician from Safer Electric to remove the failed unit and install the replacement at no charge to you.

This applies whether or not Safer Electric performed the original installation, provided the original installation was performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the Ontario Electrical Safety Code and the manufacturer's instructions.

After the first year (years 2 through 5)

For verified defect claims made after the first twelve (12) months and within the remaining five-year product warranty period, Safer Lighting will ship a free replacement unit to you. The cost and arrangement of installation through a licensed electrician is your responsibility. No labour coverage is provided for claims made after the first year from the date of original purchase.

Outside the Safer Electric service area (first year)

If your installation address is outside Safer Electric's service area during the first-year labour period, we will ship a free replacement unit to you. Arrangement and cost of installation through a licensed electrician is entirely your responsibility. No labour reimbursement is provided for out-of-area claims.

4. Who can make a claim

The warranty is extended to the original end-user purchaser and is transferable to subsequent owners of the same property for the remainder of the original Warranty Period, provided proof of original purchase is presented. A copy of the original order confirmation, invoice, or contractor receipt issued by Safer Lighting is required to validate any claim.

5. What is not covered

This warranty covers manufacturing defects only. It does not cover damage or failure caused by anything the customer does, installs incorrectly, or exposes the product to. Specifically, this warranty does not cover, and the Company will not be liable for, any of the following:

  1. Physical damage of any kind, including but not limited to cracks, dents, broken housings, bent frames, shattered lenses, and any damage resulting from dropping, impact, mishandling, or improper storage during or after installation.
  2. Liquid or moisture damage, including water ingress, condensation, flooding, irrigation spray, or any moisture exposure on a fixture not rated for that environment. A product installed in a wet or damp location without the appropriate IP or wet-location rating is not covered.
  3. Damage resulting from installation that does not comply with the Ontario Electrical Safety Code or the manufacturer's published installation instructions.
  4. Damage resulting from operating the product outside its rated input voltage, ambient operating temperature, IP rating, or wet/damp/dry-location rating as published on the product spec sheet.
  5. Damage caused by power surges, lightning strikes, voltage spikes, or unstable power supply.
  6. Damage caused by accident, vandalism, fire, flood, freezing, smoke, chemical exposure, salt spray (in non-marine-rated fixtures), pest activity, or any other external casualty event.
  7. Cosmetic wear that does not affect function, including but not limited to scratches, minor finish discoloration after three (3) years on outdoor fixtures, and gasket aging.
  8. Products that have been modified, repaired, opened, or had any internal parts substituted by any party other than the Company or the original equipment manufacturer.
  9. Products sold as "final sale", "clearance", "as-is", "open-box", "B-stock", or "scratch and dent". The reduced or zero warranty period for these items is disclosed at the time of sale on the product page.
  10. Consumable items (e.g., LED bulbs sold as replacement lamps separately from a fixture body), which carry the manufacturer's standard consumable warranty as labelled on the packaging.
  11. Non-LED items, including but not limited to wire, cable, breakers, panels, devices, conduit, fittings, and tools, which carry the original equipment manufacturer's warranty as published with the product.
  12. Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages of any kind, including but not limited to lost profits, lost business, business interruption, or loss of use of property.

If we determine that the cause of failure falls into any of the categories above, no replacement will be issued. Our determination is final.

6. How to file a claim

  1. Contact Safer Lighting within the Warranty Period by phone at 905-451-LEDS (5337) or by email at warranty@saferlighting.ca. Have your order number and a description of the failure ready.
  2. Provide photographs or a short video of the failed unit, ideally in place, showing the product, the failure mode, and any visible model or serial number on the fixture.
  3. We will confirm whether the claim is covered, typically within two (2) business days.
  4. For covered claims within our service area, we ship the replacement and schedule a service call with our licensed electrician at a time convenient for you. For covered claims outside our service area, we ship the replacement unit at no charge.
  5. Most claims are resolved within five (5) business days of submission.

You are not required to ship the failed unit back to us before a replacement is sent. Our electrician collects the failed unit at the time of installation, or you may return it to our Brampton warehouse afterwards.

7. Limitation of remedies

Product replacement as described in section 2 is your sole and exclusive remedy under this warranty. No refunds, credits, labour reimbursements, or monetary compensation of any kind will be issued. The Company's total liability under this warranty is strictly limited to the cost of the replacement product.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company disclaims all other warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, except to the extent that such implied warranties cannot be disclaimed under the consumer-protection laws of the province in which the product was purchased.

Where applicable consumer-protection law gives you rights that cannot be disclaimed (for example, certain mandatory protections under the Consumer Protection Act, 2002 (Ontario)), this warranty is in addition to, and does not replace, those statutory rights.

8. Definitions

Any dispute arising out of or relating to this warranty will be brought in the courts of the Province of Ontario sitting at Brampton, and the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts, subject only to the rights of either party to enforce a judgment in another jurisdiction.

10. Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these warranty terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. These warranty terms, together with the Company's Terms of Service, constitute the entire agreement between the Company and you with respect to the warranty of the covered LED products and supersede any prior or contemporaneous oral or written representations.

11. Updates

The Company may update these warranty terms from time to time. Any update applies only to products purchased after the effective date of the update. The warranty in effect at the time of your original purchase continues to govern your covered products for the remainder of their Warranty Period.
