Malibu warranty for outdoor lighting
The short version
Malibu doesn't cover everything, but keeps light fixture covered for life. That full coverage is the same as most of the 9 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Malibu's published warranty, checked October 2026.
