WEEE
Luminaires are defined as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and as such
may not be disposed of as solid urban waste.
At the end of their life cycle, they must therefore be correctly treated and disposed 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 purchasing an equivalent new luminaire or, exclusively in the case of Italy, directly
to Ecolight, the Consortium for the Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (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. The illegal or inappropriate disposal of said waste is
punishable by economic and/or administrative sanctions of the amount established by the law.
Conformity.
Degree of protection, housings.
Degree of protection, surface mounted luminaires.
Direct mounting on normally inflammable surfaces.
Never cover the luminaire with insulating material.
The separate control gear should be placed at a minimum distance of 300 mm from the
luminaire. 50 mm from the side wall of the recessed housing and at a minimum height of
130 mm.
Minimum distance from the object to be illuminated.
Self-protected lamps do not require safety shields.
The safety shields must be replaced in case of damage. The luminaires must not be turned on
without the safety shields. Please order original glass shields from Reggiani Illuminazione.
High voltage present during the lamp ignition phase. Take extreme care.
For connecting the independent control gear, use wires resistant to voltage surges of up to
5kV only.
Luminaires in
Class I
Luminaires which requiring earthing in order to ensure protection against electrical shocks
Luminaires in
Class II
Use double insulated wires only or cover the wires with the sheath provided.
Luminaires in
Class III
Conformance with standards is ensured only when the luminaire is
powered by a safety transformer in accordance with EN61558 –1and EN61558-2-6, , CE
plus thermal overload relay; with power rating suitable for the lamp power rating
Ultra-low voltage luminaires marked with the symbol
do not require earthing.
For connection to the mains and/or to the independent control gear, only use wires resi-
stant to high temperatures type H05SS-F or equivalent.
Use UV-Stop lamps only.
Independent control gears for discharge lamps must have the following characteristics:
In compliance with EN 60922-1997 + EN 60923-1996 o EN 61347-1 + e EN 61347-2-9
Mains voltage: 230/240V 50Hz • Pulse 3.5-4.5kV • Ta 55°C, Tw 130°C. Thermal circuit

CE. For connection to the mains and/or to the independent control gear, only use
wires resistant to high temperatures
with wires resistant to voltage surges of up to 5kV
double insulated. Type H05SSF…or similar with diameter ext. 10mm, min. 7mm.
For connections of type
X
provided with special cable , if the external flexible cable of this
luminaire is damaged, it should be replaced by a special cable available only from the
manufacturer or its service centre.
