Exchanges or credits cannot be processed without an RA Number. Once issued, you will receive instructions for returning items, which must be received within 30 days of the RA issue date. An RA Number does not guarantee credit. All returned items will be inspected prior to issuing any exchange or credit:

  • Defective items must be tested and confirmed as defective by the manufacturer. Lite Source, Inc. facilitates the process but is not the final authority on whether a product is defective.

  • Non-defective items (overstocks, surplus, or ordering errors) must be in resalable condition and may be subject to a restocking fee. Shipping charges for non-defective returns are non-refundable. Approved store credits are valid for 2 years from the date of issue.

All Products – Manufacturer Determination

For all products sold by Lite Source, Inc., the manufacturer is the ultimate authority in determining whether a product is defective. Lite Source, Inc. facilitates returns, credits, and replacements but does not independently determine defects. Any warranty, replacement, or credit is issued only after the manufacturer confirms a defect.

Note: The average life of a bulb is an estimate only and is not a warranty.

All Heine products, including warranty items, are fulfilled from Germany. Returns are only accepted if the customer covers international shipping costs. Customers purchase Heine OEM products at their own risk, as Lite Source, Inc. cannot guarantee acceptance of returns or direct handling of warranty claims. Full details: Heine US Distribution Changes.

Reporting Issues

Damaged or missing items must be reported within 3 days of delivery. Contact us toll-free at 1-800-523-0860. All return requests must be made within 30 days of receipt. Custom and special order items are non-returnable. Notify us immediately of any order discrepancies so we can correct the issue.

Return Condition Requirements

Returned merchandise must be in original factory condition, including all packaging, inserts, manuals, warranty cards, and accessories. Lite Source, Inc. reserves the right to refuse any unauthorized or incomplete returns. A 25% restocking fee applies to all authorized returns.

Limitation of Liability

Lite Source, Inc. shall not be liable for delays, lost shipments, or damages caused during return shipping, by carriers, or by customs authorities. Credit, replacement, or exchange is only issued after inspection and confirmation of defect or compliance with return conditions.

Order Acceptance

Your receipt of an order confirmation from us does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline or cancel your order (in whole or in part) for any reason. We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order. Your order is not accepted until it is shipped. Once shipped, the order cannot be cancelled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that, if we cancel all or a part of your order, your sole and exclusive remedy is that we issue a credit to your credit card in the amount charged for the cancelled portion if we have already charged your card, or not charge your credit card for the cancelled portion of the order.

Order Acceptance

Your receipt of an order confirmation from us does not signify our acceptance of your order, nor does it constitute confirmation of our offer to sell. We reserve the right at any time after receipt of your order to accept or decline or cancel your order (in whole or in part) for any reason. We may require additional verifications or information before accepting any order. Your order is not accepted until it is shipped. Once shipped, the order cannot be cancelled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that, if we cancel all or a part of your order, your sole and exclusive remedy is that we issue a credit to your credit card in the amount charged for the cancelled portion if we have already charged your card, or not charge your credit card for the cancelled portion of the order.
