Why it's dangerous
The product's output interconnection connector does not protect adequately against water and moisture. The connector is not compatible with the mains plugs and does not have a sealing element. The insulation between the live parts and the accessible surfaces is insufficient The creepage distances and clearances between live parts and accessible surfaces are insufficient. The electrical connections between the cable and the lampholders are detachable, which may result in the user having direct contact with live parts. The mains plug is not sufficiently protected and can therefore overheat, which, in addition to the other defaults, can cause a fire
