How we work.

We thank you for supporting our family-owned business, and I hope that we can further support yours.
If you’ve purchased from Barn Light and have a return to make, our easy to understand conditions are listed below for your convenience.

Why you might not need to make a return.


Firstly – We’re all human, mistakes happen, and we’ve all purchased the wrong thing in the past.
  • There are times when processes fail us, should that be a gooseneck that’s slightly wonky to one side, or a glaringly obvious black spec of powdercoat that has caught your eye on your new Flat White Shade.
  • Please call us, we’ll rectify the problem to the best of our ability. You won’t be requires to send us an electricians report, just their phone number so we can identify the issues/cause. 95% of problems can be resolves over the phone, the remainder with replacement hardware.
  • We use ISO-9001:2008 processes to alliviate risk and process wherever we can. If you are in the designer/specifier/builder group of customers – we even get audited.
Secondly – We’re here to help.
  • We’re honest about our intentions and for that reason we’ve NEVER had a credit-card charge-back initiated against the company.
  • We don’t pay for product or company reviews. We know our competitors do, and while we can’t tell you who they are, you’ve likely got a good guess.
  • We manufacture our lighting, we test our lighting against Australian/New Zealand standards, and we use quality materials. We’ve also got replacement parts for all of our lighting product.
  • Our standard 3-year warranty expects our product to last 6x that based on internal testing.
Thirdly – Once we commited to 180-Day returns (Jan 2023), we’d expected a lot refunds than we’ve actually processed.
  • Given the fact that we ship approximately 100 manifested orders per month, with each order averaging 2-3 boxes (consisting of more product that that!) – We’re looking at a 1% return rate since we started our 180-Day return program.
  • Chances are, you’ve come to look at our Returns & Refund policy because you’ve been burnt in the past buying online and take a habit of checking these days… We know why!
