Why it's dangerous

The product is not protected against moisture, despite being recommended for outdoor use. Consequently, water could penetrate the product and cause an electric shock. Moreover, the product could easily break in case of an impact. Damaged equipment may thus overheat and lead to a fire.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive nor with the European standard EN 60598-2-20.
