Typical warranty for road luminaires: Europe: 5 to 10 years. Middle East: 5 to 10 years, often set by the authority. South Asia: 5 to 7 years in many public tenders. USA: 10 years is common. Many owners do not claim it, because they cannot prove the date or the failure.

  • Record make, model, serial, installation date, and warranty end.
  • At each failure, record the cause, keep the part with a label, and add a photo.
  • Send claims in batches, for example monthly.
