Hazard

The flexible cable fitted to the product has no anti-traction or anti-twisting device and the insulating material covering the lamp holder can suffer heat deformation. Live parts of the product can therefore become accessible to the user and, if touched, could cause the user to receive an electric shock. The cable insulation is of PVC, which is not permitted for outdoor lamps. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
