At Lighting Specialists, we understand that a product may get damaged in transit or, on occasion, there may be a manufacturer product defect. Rest assured, we will stand by you during this process and make sure we do everything we can to bring it to a satisfying and timely conclusion- at no expense to you. For us to offer this level of service, however, we need a little help from the customer in the form of a detailed product inspection immediately upon delivery. This will make things much easier if you decide to return the item.

All damages should be reported to Lighting Specialists within 48 hours of delivery.Customers who sign for delivery and do not notate "damage" assume responsibility if merchandise is damaged. If the product itself appears significantly damaged, you may refuse delivery. Please notify Lighting Specialists of refusal so we can anticipate the return and send out a new item. Lighting Specialists will repair or replace the damaged or defective goods for no additional charge.
