Returns & Replacements
I have changed my mind regarding the purchase and require a refund? (During the Cancellation Period)
Customers must contact us by email or telephone to register a return.

This excludes goods that have been fitted or used.
We do NOT refund purchases after the 14 day Cancellation Period has expired.
What happens if my item is not working correctly?
Unfortunately it can happen, although it can seem a product appears faulty when infact the fault lies within the light fitting itself which causes the product to appear faulty.
This is why we ask that all electrical products purchased from SaveMyLight International Ltd are fitted by a qualified electrician at a registered company in accordance with the guarantee.
All we ask is that the customer informs us by telephone or email. Once notified you will need to return the goods to us for inspection and testing.
The goods will be logged and security checked and then cleared for inspection and testing.
We do not replace goods until confirmed as faulty.
Returning a product to us in safety cut out SCO will not result in a new product being dispatched.
Do you notify me when you receive my item?
Yes. We will contact you by email or telephone when:-
the item has been received,
when the item has been inspected,
the result, and
if a new item has been dispatched.
How long will it take to receive a replacement item?
If an item is confirmed faulty we aim to have a replacement sent out to you within 3 working days.
We understand some customers need a replacement item in a hurry and we will do everything we can to ensure a speedy return of goods.
We cannot force our Test Team to work any quicker or ‘bump’ the item up in their queue, so please do not ask us.
The test team’s decision is FINAL.
Can I have a refund instead of a replacement for the faulty item? (After the Cancellation Period)
We will only exchange the item for the same model originally ordered. (Or like for like basis)
What if a replacement item is not available?
We will offer the customer a full refund of the price paid.
Will my shipping fee be refunded if I send an item back to you?
No. The customer is responsible for the return shipping costs.
Am I responsible for the return of the goods in a satisfactory condition?
Yes. The customer will be under a duty to return the goods to us and to take reasonable care of them. This duty ends when the customer (at their own expense) has returned the goods to us. This includes any original packaging such as cardboard boxes and included accessories that the product/s were supplied in or with. These are required so that we can resell the items to another customer. Returned items that show clear evidence of fitment marks, scratches or any other type of fitment damage will be refused.
Should a customer refuse or deliberately fail to return the goods, then the customer’s obligation to retain or take reasonable care of the goods continues until the goods are safely delivered back to us.
Do I pay to receive my replacement item?
No. If the item was faulty you do NOT pay the return shipping fee.
What happens if I fail to collect my goods or I refuse entry and the goods are returned by the courier company?
When goods are returned to us by the courier we retest the goods to ensure no damage has occurred and request from the customer a second shipping fee to redispatch. We do not return the goods free of charge.
If the goods are returned by courier then the courier return fee and the fee to resend the goods will apply. In effect two shipping fees will become payable.
Should an international customer refuse goods upon arrival for whatever reason the return courier shipping fee and return import duty will be deducted from any refund.
I do not wish to pay any Import Charges.
Import Duty is a legal requirement to be paid by any receiver whether goods are accepted or refused.
Refusing goods does not exempt a customer from paying any Duty demanded of them by the shipping company.
SaveMyLight International Ltd does not pay Import Duty on behalf of customers.
A large warning message is displayed at Checkout alerting all international customers that Duty may be charged upon importation to their chosen country by the shipping company.
Should you decline to pay any Import Duty then you must NOT proceed with any purchase.

- avoid paying a retesting charge
- the returns time limit period had expired
- does not wish to follow the returns procedure
- does not wish to return the goods due to cost
- is impatient because goods have not been delivered to the buyer’s expected delivery time
If the chargeback is not repaid SaveMyLight International Ltd will seek to recover any amount owed including any costs we incur in pursuing the amount owed.
Customers should be aware that filing a chargeback and making no attempt to return the goods is called ‘Friendly Fraud’ – the very definition of stealing and SaveMyLight International Ltd will pursue customers filing false or illegitimate chargebacks to secure a refund.
Safety Cut Out (SCO)
When an electronic lighting product fails there has to be a reason why. It is not always a case of ordering a replacement and the light fitting will work again. Sometimes the original product causes damage to the light fitting that cannot be seen just by looking at the light. Sometimes the damage is internal.
All products purchased from SaveMyLight International Ltd are brand new and are tested by the manufacturer before being sent to us. Upon arrival our electronics test team bench test each product before dispatch.
With every order Guidance Notes are provided and MUST be handed to the electrician prior to fitting. Please do NOT dispose of the Guidance Notes.
Should a customer order a lighting product and then state that it does not work and is sure the fault is not the SCO (Safety Cut Out), we will ask for the product to be returned to us for testing as well as asking a few questions regarding the light fitting to assist with testing the product.
Once tested we will give the customer the result. If confirmed faulty by a manufacturing defect a second product will be sent to the customer free of charge.
If a product is not faulty or the issue is SCO, (Safety Cut Out) the customer is required to pay a retesting and returns postage charge to receive the product back. Currently £10.00 and 12.00 Euros for International customers. The reason for this charge is the extended testing the product goes through to confirm all aspects of the product are again working correctly. Testing takes around three hours.
Should a customer state the second product does not work we will no longer send further products until a diagnostics test has been carried out on the light fitting by a qualified Electrician at a registered company and the results sent to us.
Should it be necessary the original and replacement product may need to be returned to us.
We no longer continue sending products to customers free of charge as it ends up becoming a cycle of products being dispatched and returned, which incurs both parties expense.
Once the lighting fault has been determined a final product will be dispatched.
