Streamlight warranty for flashlights & lanterns
The short version
Streamlight doesn't cover everything, but keeps whole light and rechargeable batteries, chargers, switches and electronics covered for life. That full coverage is shorter than most of the 6 brands we compared, which typically cover 2 years in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Streamlight's published warranty, checked October 2026.
