Insulation of the product is not adequate and the power supply is not protected against moisture; yet the product is recommended for outdoor use. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
The product is not protected against moisture but is recommended for outdoor use. This may cause a short-circuit and cause a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
The product is not protected against moisture but is recommended for outdoor use. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
The wires can easily pull out from the lights, exposing live parts. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standards EN 60598 and EN 61347.
The product is not protected against moisture but is recommended for outdoor use. Water penetration may cause an electric shock or lead to a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
The mechanical strength of the flashing unit is not sufficient and the user may have access to live parts. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive the relevant European standard EN 60598.
The cover of the flashing unit is not sufficiently resistant and may break, exposing users to live parts. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant standard EN 60598.
The insulation of the product is not adequate and the power supply is not protected against moisture, although the product is recommended for outdoor use. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
The product poses a risk of electric shock for the following reasons. Firstly, the dimensions of the plug are substantially less than required. Secondly, the wire ends soldered to the terminals of the flashing unit and the LEDs are not adequately protected against pulling and twisting. Thirdly, the accessible basic insulated wires can come into contact with sharp edges of the flashing switch and control unit. Finally, the insulation provided by the shrink tubing for the lamps is inadequate.
The dimensions of the plug are too small and the wire ends soldered to the terminals of the flashing unit and the LED are not adequately protected against pulling and twisting. The accessible, basic insulated, wires can come into contact with sharp edges of the flashing switch and control unit. The cross-sectional area of the external and internal wires is too small and the wires could overheat and cause a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
