WEEE n° IT08010000000055E
According to European Directive
2002/96/EC, luminaires are defi ned
as Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) and as such, they
cannot be disposed of as municipal
solid waste.
At the end of their life cycle, they must there-
fore be correctly treated and disposed of as
substances of concern for both the environ-
ment and human health due to the presence
of dangerous substances in the electrical and
electronic components.
The user must therefore consign used lumi-
naires to the distributor when purchasing an
equivalent new luminaire or, exclusively in the
case of Italy, directly to Ecolight, the Consor-
tium for the Disposal of Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (Consorzio per lo Smal-
timento degli Apparecchi di Illuminazione),
delegated by Reggiani S.p.A. Illuminazione,
who will collect the equipment free of charge
and delivery it to the special collection facili-
ties set up by the local authorities to recover,
treat and dispose of WEEE.
If lamps are disposed of with the luminaire,
they must not be crushed because
they contain highly polluting substances for
the environment.
The illegal or inappropriate disposal of said
waste is punishable by economic and/
or administrative sanctions of the amount es-
tablished by the law.

N.B. The free collection of a luminaire may
be refused if there is a risk of contamination
for the personnel performing the service, if
it is evident that the luminaire does not con-
tain the essential components or if it contains
waste other than WEEE, or if the weight of
the luminaire collected is more than double
the weight of the luminaire acquired. In these
circumstances, disposal is the responsibility
of the holder.
The WEEE symbol is shown on the packaging
of each of our products.
