WEEE n° IT08010000000055E
According to European Directive
2002/96/EC, luminaires are defi
ned as Waste Electrical and Elec-
tronic Equipment (WEEE) and as
such, they cannot be disposed of
as municipal solid waste.
At the end of their life cycle, they must
therefore be correctly treated and dis-
posed of as substances of concern for both
the environment and human health due to
the presence of dangerous substances in
the electrical and electronic components.
The user must therefore consign used
luminaires to the distributor when pur-
chasing an equivalent new luminaire or,
exclusively in the case of Italy, directly to
Ecolight, the Consortium for the Disposal
of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equip-
ment (Consorzio per lo Smaltimento 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 facilities
set up by the local authorities to recover,
treat and dispose of WEEE.
If lamps are disposed of with the lumi-
naire, 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

established by the law.
N.B. The free collection of a luminaire may
be refused if there is a risk of contamina-
tion for the personnel performing the ser-
vice, if it is evident that the luminaire does
not contain 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 packag-
ing of each of our products.
