household lighting luminaires (fittings / fixtures) fall out of scope, however
the "lamps" (light bulbs) themselves are in scope. This is with the exception of
filament bulbs (either tungsten filaments or halogen). All LED lamps & modules plus
fluorescent tubes & compact fluorescent lamps are in scope.
For registration the sales value of lamps which are in scope should be included in
your calculations in order to determine whether you are a Band A , A+
or Band B member.
For the DTS as a Band A member you should report the number of units of the lamps
sold which are in scope, this is inclusive of lamps which are both sold separately and
those which are sold as part of a whole luminaire fitting.
** Household luminaires (lighting fittings) are now in scope for
the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations and
the units sold should be reported along with all other EEE.
Under the The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013 (as amended)
distributors who supply new EEE from retail premises where the sales area relating to EEE
is equivalent to or exceeds 400m² must provide facilities to collect very small WEEE,
regardless of whether similar new equipment is purchased. The DTS alternative for
member retailers who meet this requirement in 25% or more of their stores is to make
an additional payment equivalent to 25% of the applicable fees as shown in the table above.
