Please notify the carrier as soon as possible about any apparent damage to file a claim report, and retain all packaging materials.
SAFETY
All of our hardwired fixtures are UL listed in North America for damp location use. Our desk lamps and any plug-in fixtures are not UL listed as standard, but can be certified upon request.
International Customers
Shipping. All taxes, duties, and customs fees are the responsibility of the purchaser. SLE is not responsible for shipping delays once the order leaves the US.
Electrical Requirements. All fixtures are rated for 120V and listed for damp locations.
INSTALLATION
All hardwired fixtures come with the necessary hardware for installation. Installation by a licensed electrician is highly recommended.
One-Year Limited Warranty
Southern Lights Electric, LLC ("SLE"), Nashville, Tennessee, warrants every fixture we build to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the date of delivery, to the original purchaser.
What we'll do. If a fixture or component fails due to a defect in materials or workmanship within the warranty period, SLE will, at our option, repair or replace the defective component or fixture at no charge. This is your exclusive remedy under this warranty. This warranty does not cover the cost of removal, installation, or reinstallation, or any electrician's labor.
What this warranty covers. Defects in the fixture as built — including sockets, wiring, hardware, and structural components — under normal residential or commercial use, when the fixture is installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with local electrical code and the fixture's location rating.
What this warranty does not cover. Damage from improper installation, misuse, accident, or modification of the fixture; installation of a fixture in a location that exceeds its rating (for example, a damp-rated fixture installed in a wet location); light bulbs; normal wear; and the natural aging of finishes. Our unlacquered brass and living finishes are meant to patina — changes in finish color and character over time are a feature of the material, not a defect.
How to make a claim. Email hello@southernlightselectric.com with your name, proof of purchase, a description of the issue, and photos of the fixture. We'll respond with next steps, which may include returning the fixture or component to our Nashville workshop. Please don't ship anything back without hearing from us first.
Legal terms. Any implied warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited in duration to the one-year term of this warranty. SLE is not liable for incidental or consequential damages arising from any defect. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
