What happened

The AURO LITE recessed luminaire (Model MS118) with halogen lamp poses electrical and fire safety hazards.

The luminaire does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive or the European standard EN 60598. The product features gold and chrome metal covers with an adjustable lamp fixed by a spring, and uses free wire ends for mains supply connections to a GX5.3 SELV lampholder. It was sold without light source and installation instructions.
