You register on their website: Instructions come with the light.www.xtremebrightlights.com. I don't know how long a "lifetime" is. I'm 82 so it doesn't have to be too long. I bought it for my grandson (19) a college student.

Make sure it is the exact same light. I have another light that looks just like this one but is a different model and has a weak beam. The light must be an "Extreme Bright" Ultra Bright Zoomable LED Bicycle Light. If you can get it for $4 with the correct holder you are doing great. I don't know how the warranty works? I never worry about warranties. If it is a quality product a warranty is a non issue. Hope this helps.

Well I don't exactly know the difference between the $4 light, and the one I bought, but when I got my light, it didn't work at all! I was mad, and reviewed quite negatively. The very day I got an email from the company CEO, and he apologized, and sent me another light, free of charge. Turns out I put a couple older batteries in, and as soon as I got fresh batteries, both lights worked fantastic! I emailed back because I felt as though I needed to return one, but they just said keep it, gift it, just enjoy it. Fantastic customer service. If it's from triumph innovations, it's gonna be a good light, with a dang good warranty.

Willy is correct you register at the website, but considering the price, it probably cost more for the shipping and handling so not worth the effort. I really like it because if you need to do an evening flat change you can take the light out of the holder and use it as a flashlight.

I just had my first bulb go bad and as it turns out Amazon honors the return for 30 days! I think a $13.51 light bulb should have a bit better warranty on it than that. I've got incodescent bulbs that have lasted for years and only cost peniies to replace. Time to contact support and see what they say.Update: I contacted SunSun at info@sunsunlighting.com, they responded the next day, requested the invoice from my purchase, and shipped me a replacement bulb UPS. That's pretty good customer service any way you look at it.

The booklet says you can purchase a new light but I think it's almost the same as half the price of a new one. It's because it's suppose to lay a while. You will have to replace it yourself which doesn't seem like fun though and it's more for decoration than anything.

It has a set of 4 LED's with a life expectancy of many thousand hours,and as such are not replaceable. One or more of the other operating parts or features of the light will most likely cause the unit to need replacement long before the LED's cause any problems.

I fought the same problem and found out there is a two year guarantee on this light, I contacted the manufacture and after a bit of haggling they sent me a new one (I had lost the receipt). I have used these lights for 10 years, there is a small problem with the photocell, however there is no other light that compares with one, I suggest the lower wattage light, still plenty of light (35 watt)

I've had bad luck with the generic lamps. Cheaper is not the answer. My neighbor works w/ amazon and basically said go with the best warranty. I bought from TWD, but the key is the 180 day warranty. Some 30 day warranties are just about right as the bulbs rarely lasted more than 3-4 mo.

The light isn't worth owning. Mine never did work from brand new and Amazon would not take it back. I contacted my credit card holder and told them that I had shipped the light back and they forced amazon to credit my account.

I am thinking about buying these lights, but I want to know if yours have lasted? Thanks for your time :)

Stay away from this seller and purchase through Amazons seller (always quality plus products. There you can get the best rechargeable bicycle light with life time warranty!

The light is suppose to last longer than a month. I know it's suppose to have a year warranty on it. I've seen customers have them last a couple months, maybe up to a year. It just depends.

My guess is that the warranty is only for workmanship and not length of service. Just my guess .. I am very happy with the lamps, am using several of them.

You don't need a warranty. They are great lights. I beat the hell out of them.

Sorry, I bought the light for someone else and I can't get an answer out of them. If it were any other business besides Amazon I'd tell you to buy it anyway and return it later if it doesn't work, but Amazon is a nightmare if you want to return anything. Good luck!

Not sure about the warranty as I never checked it. I can tell you I did have a couple of issues with the lights. I would recommend you buy them from a shop or store in your area. That way if you have similar issues you can return them much easier.

2 lamps I originally bought lasted decades literally. It seems life is based on # of on/off cycles as first that failed was used many more times than second one.Condenser in the lamp failed before the bulb. Condenser creates the charge needed to "start" that type bulb. As with all lamps "life" depends on combination of on/off cycles more than running time "on" because each "on" is a literal SURGE OF ENERGY... I saved the bulb as it was still 'good' ...hope that hekps

I went to the Coast website and contacted them by E-mail. They had me send them the light (battery holder failed) and within a week sent me a brand new one (battery holder) with the light post paid. Light works like new again. As you are aware coast has a life time warranty against DEFECTS but not abuse. I did have proof of purchase which I'm sure helped. Great customer support.

I don't know about the warranty, but I did buy these lights to put on our deck. Replacing the none LED lights.They have been up about 6 weeks, love the soft light, if they will last 6 months, that will be "great". I have used lights on this area for years, and I am hoping the LED light will last longer,, than the cheaper ones I have used in past.
