What is the danger
The product poses a risk of electric shock because: - the insulated sleeve covering a joint in the live lead is not reliably held in position, - the top section of the ballast can be separated from the lower section while replacing the tube. This exposes the internal wiring of the lamp-holder, - the on/off switch is wired to the neutral. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60598.
