Hazard

The product poses risk of:- electric shock because:- the basic-insulated parts (terminal block and single insulated wires) are accessible,- there is no device protecting against pulling and twisting force, - the wires may be pressed to sharp metal parts- fire because the PVC insulation may get into contact with the light source and thus overheats (measured value: 126°C). The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
