Coleman warranty for outdoor lighting
The short version
Coleman covers outdoor lighting in full for 5 years, with no partial coverage after that. That full coverage is longer than most of the 9 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Coleman's published warranty, checked October 2026.
