Lighting chains — electric shock risk (0024/06)

EU Safety GateSerious riskElectric shockJan 27, 2006

Hazard

The indication on the transformer (indoor use only) is different from the one indicated on the packaging (offered for outdoor use). There is risk of electric shock due to the fact that water can get on the transformer not protected against ingress of water. Lighting chain is not provided with a plug protected against splashed water and is not suitable for permanent connection to the mains supply with wiring box (what is required for the outdoor use lightings). These products do not comply with the LVD Directive and the European Standards.
