The dimensions of the connection plug are inadequate. The product is not protected against moisture but is recommended for outdoor use. The water could penetrate the product or the user could touch accessible live parts, which may cause an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60598.
