BioLite warranty for headlamps & lights
The short version
BioLite covers headlamps & lights in full for 3 years, with no partial coverage after that. That full coverage is shorter than most of the 10 brands we compared, which typically cover 7 years in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
