 STATEMENT OF LIMITED WARRANTY 
FOR ACUITY BRANDS LIGHTING, INC. 
d/b/a LITHONIA LIGHTING® 
NON-LED COMMERICIAL INDOOR PRODUCTS 
FOR SHIPMENTS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA 
 10/01/12 
Subject to the exclusions set forth below, Acuity Brands Lighting, Inc. d/b/a Lithonia Lighting (“Acuity”) warrants its non-LED commercial indoor 
lighting fixtures (“Product(s)”) to be free from defect in material  and workmanship for a period of  one (1) year from the date of shipment from 
Acuity’s  facilities  (the  “General  Warranty”),  unless  other  warranties apply  as  outlined  below. The  painted  finish  of  the  Product(s)  will  be 
considered  defective in material  or  workmanship only if there  is  substantial  deterioration,  in the form of blistering, cracking,  or peeling. The 
painted finish is not warranted against fading or chalking, as fixture(s) may naturally fade or chalk over time due to normal aging.  
For  installed  Rough Service Product(s),  Acuity warrants  that,  for the lifetime of  the  Product(s),  the  polycarbonate lens and/or polycarbonate 
housing will withstand breakage resulting from occasional physical abuse and rough handling (the “Rough Service Warranty”), notwithstanding 
the vandalism exclusion set forth below. 
Ballasts, lamps, emergency  batteries  and poles  are excluded from the  General Warranty. Holophane® and  Accupro®  brand ballasts, 
Acculamp®  brand lamps,  emergency  batteries,  and  poles  are  warranted  separately;  and  the  terms  of  such  warranties  are  located  at 
www.acuitybrands.com/CustomerResources/Terms_and_conditions.aspx.    Manufacturers  of  ballasts,  lamps,  emergency  batteries  and  poles 
incorporated into the Product(s) are solely responsible for any costs or expenses related to any claims, repairs, or replacements associated with 
any such component(s). Assistance with warranty claims for any such component(s), and/or copies of each applicable manufacturer’s warranty, 
may be obtained from an authorized Acuity post-sales or customer service representative. 
This Statement of  Limited Warranty (“Warranty”) applies only when the  Product(s) are installed in applications in which ambient temperatures 
are within the range of specified operating temperatures. Acuity will not be responsible under this Warranty for any failure of the Product(s) that 
results from external causes such as: acts of nature; physical damage; exposure to adverse or hazardous chemical or other substances; use of 
reactive  cleaning  agents  and/or  harsh  chemicals  to  clean  the  Product(s);  environmental  conditions;  vandalism;  fire;  power  failure,  improper 
power supply, power surges or dips, and/or excessive switching; induced vibration; animal or insect activity; fault or negligence of purchaser, any 
end user of the Product(s) and/or any third party not engaged by Acuity; improper or unauthorized use, installation, handling, storage, alteration, 
maintenance  or  service,  including  failure  to  abide  by  any  product  classifications  or  certifications,  or  failure  to  comply  with  any  applicable 
standards, codes, recommendations, product specification sheets, or instructions of Acuity; use of the Product(s) with products, processes or 
materials    supplied  by  any  end  user  or  third  party;  or  any  other  occurrences  beyond  Acuity’s  reasonable  control.    Acuity  also  will  not  be 
responsible under this Warranty for any substantial deterioration in the Product finish that is caused by failure to clean, inspect or maintain the 
finish of the Product(s).  If the Product(s) are used on existing foundations, anchorages or structures, the end user is solely responsible for the 
structural integrity of such existing foundations, anchorages or structures and all consequences arising  from their use.  Adequate records of 
operating  history,  maintenance,  and/or  testing  must  be  kept  by  the  end  user  and  provided  to  Acuity  upon  request  to  substantiate  that  the 
Product(s) have failed to comply with the terms of this Warranty.  Neither polycarbonate nor acrylic material used in the Products is warranted 
against yellowing, as yellowing may naturally occur over time due to normal aging.  The Product(s) are not warranted against costs that may be 
incurred  in  connection  with changes  or  modifications  to  the  Product(s)  required  to  accommodate  site  conditions and/or  faulty  building 
construction or design.  In addition, the Product(s) are not warranted against cot resulting from installation of third party supplied components, 
failures of third party supplied components, or failures of Acuity supplied Product(s) caused by a third party supplied component.  This Warranty 
only applies to the Product(s) when sold for commercial purposes and does not apply to any consumer product(s), all of which are governed by 
separate limited warranty terms. For the avoidance of doubt, Acuity emergency fixtures are not covered by this Warranty.  
If the Product(s)  fail to comply with the terms of this Warranty, Acuity, at its option, will repair or replace the Product(s) with the same or a 
functionally equivalent Product(s) or component part(s). This Warranty excludes labor and equipment required to remove and/or reinstall original 
or replacement parts. This Warranty extends only to the Product(s) as delivered to, and is for the sole and exclusive benefit of, the original end 
user  of  the  Product(s)  at  the  original  location. This Warranty may  not  be  transferred  or  assigned  by  the  original  end  user.    The  repair  or 
replacement of any Product(s) or component part within the Product(s) is the sole and exclusive remedy for failure of the Product(s) to comply 
with the terms of this Warranty and does not extend the Warranty period. Warranty claims regarding the Product(s) must be submitted in writing 
within  (30)  days  of  discovery  of  the  defect  or  failure  to  an  authorized  Acuity  post-sales  or  customer  service  representative. Product(s)  or 
component part(s) may be required to be returned for inspection and verification of non-conformance by Acuity, but no Product(s) or component 
part(s) will be accepted for inspection, verification or return unless accompanied by a “return authorization number” which can be obtained only 
from  an  authorized  Acuity  post-sales  or customer  service representative. Acuity  is  not responsible  for any  costs  and  expenses  incurred  in 
connection with shipment of Product(s) to Acuity, but Acuity shall bear all cost and expense incurred in connection with shipment of replacement 
Product(s) to the customer.
