⚠️ Risk

The product poses a risk of electric shock because: - the instructions relating to the replacement of the lamps are misleading since the product has non-replaceable lamps. When trying to replace the lamps the user faces the risk of electric shock; - according to the labelling on the packaging the product is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use although, the product is not protected against ingress of water, which is required for out door use;- the wire inlets of the flashing unit are not rounded, thus the wires can get damaged;- the cross section area of the cores is less than required and the cord anchorage is missing. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard 60598.
