Disposal and Recycling Information

 

   

The ULED light has been designed, taking into account what the manufacturing 

                                  components are  made out of. This is to ensure when it reaches its end of  life, the 

                                  disposal method with the lowest/ least negative impact, on human health and the 

                                  environment is selected.   Unlike the sources of traditional light, LED’s do not contain 

                                  mercury, toxic gases, filaments or fragile parts. Due to the fixture being over 95% 

                                  recyclable and there being no Bulbs/Globe changing during the ULED life of 50,000+ 

                                  hours your environmental footprint will be significantly reduced. 

 

 

   

When your ULED light reaches its end of life, contact Planet lighting or our local 

                                  agents to learn about recycling options.The ULED light must be disposed of properly

                                  according to local laws and, regulations.
