Hazard

Live parts of the LED panel and the device connector terminal sockets are easily accessible. The cross-sectional area of the cores of the internal wires is too small and in case of a short-circuit the internal wires may overheat. The plastic part near the pins is not sufficiently resistant to heat and fire and may therefore catch fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant standard EN 60598.

Measures taken
