⚠️ Risk

The products pose a risk of electric shock because:- the insulation of the wires does not meet the requirements of the standard;- the PVC insulated wires are not suitable for outdoor use;- the flashing unit, the plug, the sockets and the connections of lamp wires are not protected against ingress of water;- the light sources have insufficient (single) insulation;- the cross section area of the wires is less than required;- the wire inlets of the flashing unit are sharp, thus the wires can get damaged;- the wires are not fixed against loosening. These products do not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant EN standard 60598.
