Risk Description
The basic insulated wires and heat shrink tubes are accessible, and the mains power cable, as well as the wires from the flashing unit, are not properly secured against pulling and twisting. These issues may expose users to touching accessible live parts, which may cause an electric shock. Moreover, the cable lacks proper anchoring (missing strain relief), and the plug dimensions do not meet specifications. Furthermore, the product is not protected against moisture, despite being recommended for outdoor use. Consequently, the water could penetrate the product and cause an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60598.
