Hammerton Lifetime Limited Warranty
Hammerton, Inc. offers a Lifetime Limited Warranty on its products as described below. Certain exclusions apply. Read below for more details.
Lifetime Limited Warranty
Hammerton warrants to the original purchaser that its products within Hammerton Studio, Hammerton Signature, Hammerton Heritage, and certain Custom Products are free from defects in workmanship and materials.
For Residential Installations: This warranty applies for the lifetime of the original purchaser, provided the fixture remains installed at the original residential address. Should any covered product fail, Hammerton, through a Hammerton Authorized Dealer (an “Authorized Dealer”) or directly, will, at its sole discretion, repair or replace the product with the same or a similar product free of charge, or refund the purchase price.
For Commercial Installations: Shades, electrical components, and articulating components are warranted for five (5) years from the date of original purchase.
The Lifetime Limited Warranty does not apply to electrical components or to Hammerton Contract & Hospitality products. See more details below.
Component Coverage
LED Drivers and LED Boards: LED drivers and LED boards are warranted for five (5) years under normal use. A reduction in light output of less than 30% over this period is considered normal and is not covered.
Light Bulbs (Lamps): Light bulbs (lamps) are not covered by this warranty. They are not products manufactured by Hammerton and are supplied only as a service.
Electrical and Articulating Components: Sockets, ballasts, drivers, integrated LED components, transformers, dimmers, swing arms, and swivels are warranted for five (5) years for both residential and commercial installations.
Glass Components: Hammerton hand-blows its own glass and all glass components are covered under this Lifetime Limited Warranty for manufacturing defects. Hand-blown glass may inherently contain small lines, waves, or bubbles. Natural variations in dimensions, color, or finish are normal characteristics of handmade glass and are not considered defects.
Finish Coverage
Interior Metal Finishes: The following translucent finishes are warranted for five (5) years: Satin Nickel, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Gun Metal, and Heritage Brass. Translucent finishes are not warranted for products installed within ten (10) miles of a seacoast or in wet or damp locations, whether such installations are indoors or outdoors. All other interior metal finishes are covered under the Lifetime Limited Warranty.
Handmade variations in finish are normal and are not considered defects. Living finishes (including brass, iron, copper, and nickel) are not warranted against color change, patina, or finish inconsistency, as maturation is an inherent and intended characteristic of these materials.
Outdoor Finishes: Hammerton outdoor fixtures are rated AAMA 2604 and are covered under our Lifetime Limited Warranty. Outdoor finishes that are not rated AAMA 2604 are not covered under our Lifetime Limited Warranty. Fading, discoloration, or patina on outdoor fixtures resulting from prolonged exposure to sunlight, humidity, pollutants, or other environmental conditions are not covered.
Coastal Environments: Outdoor finishes on outdoor fixtures installed within ten (10) miles of a seacoast are warranted for five (5) years from the date of original purchase.
Hammerton Commercial & Hospitality Products
Hammerton warrants to the original purchaser that its Hammerton Commercial & Hospitality products are free from defects in workmanship and materials for two (2) years. This warranty covers the complete fixture including finish, articulating components, outdoor finishes, LED drivers, light bulbs/LEDs, and electrical components.
Warranty Eligibility
The warranty details outline above are extended to the original purchaser of the Hammerton product only, provided the fixture remains installed at the original address. This warranty is non-transferable and is void upon any change of ownership or relocation of the fixture from its original installation address.
No formal registration is required to activate each applicable warranty. Proof of purchase from a Hammerton Authorized Dealer is required to initiate any warranty claim. This warranty applies only to Hammerton products purchased directly from Hammerton or from a Hammerton Authorized Dealer. Warranty coverage is void for products purchased from unauthorized dealers.
