Hazard

The plug dimensions are too small. The lighting chain control box can easily be opened, which make live parts accessible. As a result, the user may receive an electric shock. Additionally, the supply cord is insufficiently insulated, and the power cable cross section area is too small. The cable could overheat, leading to fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60598.
