Once the user has identified Tamlite Lighting as the supplier of the batteries they should contact Tamlite Lighting to obtain the necessary authority. Once authority is obtained please ensure that any returned batteries are returned in a safe condition with leads removed and any bare terminals insulated to prevent the risk of fire due to arcing of battery contacts.

It is the user’s responsibility for the safe return of the batteries and for any costs incurred in returning the batteries to Tamlite Lighting.

On receipt of any authorised end of life batteries Tamlite Lighting will take full responsibility for the proper disposal of the batteries via our established subcontractor Electrical Waste Recycling Group.
