A friend and I recently had the following discussion: Whether a broken flashlight is considered electronic waste. I said yes, because it contains electronic components. He said no, because you don't charge it with a cable. So who's right?

Loading...Hello. Tell me, what is the difference between a "signal generator" and a "vector signal generator"? Thank you.
Is it possible to shower with the Google bud pro and what kind of water protection does it have?
What is this tool used for? Can it be used to cut tiles precisely when laying tiles?
Hi, how many amps does a USB car radio have? So, you know those regular radios that have a USB port, presumably for cell phones. How many amps does it draw, and what's the typical voltage?
For a few days now I've been hearing this noise in my room: https://youtu.be/BLa2aqz86I0?si=pJbHLxOyPgQFTmOT It sounds very similar to the video and can be heard in several rooms in our house, for example in my room. I have already unplugged everything in my room but the noise remains. Does anyone know where the noise could…
Yes, that is electronic waste.
But in practice, many people still throw it in the general waste.
Whether cable or not doesn't matter
Theoretically, even a supermarket has to accept such electronic waste (up to 25cm even without new purchases these days), but if you want to give electronic waste to a cashier, he will probably be pretty confused.
As a whole, the flashlight is an electrical device.
However, it's only really considered electronic waste if it contains, for example, insulated wires, semiconductors, or permanently installed batteries. A light bulb with a small amount of metal can also be disposed of in the gray bin. The metal is then collected by a magnet for recycling.
Strictly speaking, we'd probably have semiconductors with the LED and its driver (in a decent lamp). But I agree with you, since the amount of electronics used is marginal.
Edit: oh oops, you wrote light bulb
This has nothing to do with cables. A battery-operated device is also an electrical device. Moreover, many flashlights have rechargeable batteries and can be charged.
You're right. Battery-operated devices also contain electronics. It has nothing to do with a cable.
Yes, I thought
