Lighting chain

What is the danger

The cable is not properly anchored, and the accessible wires have inadequate insulation. Additionally, the cord extension socket allows single-pole insertion of plugs. Furthermore, the plug and socket dimensions do not meet the required specifications, and the flashing unit's wires are not well-secured against pulling and twisting. The user could touch accessible live parts and receive an electric shock.
