Hazard

Live parts of the LED panel and the live parts of the plug or the live connector terminal sockets are easily accessible. The basic insulated internal wires of the head torch can be damaged by the sharp edges of the screws during adjustment of the head torch. The cross-sectional area of the cores of the internal wires of the charger is too small and in case of a short-circuit the internal wires may overheat. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
