What happened

A recessed luminaire model QUAD 26D with an orange metal cover poses serious hazards including risk of electric shock and fire. The electric shock hazard results from sharp edges protruding into wireways, improperly fixed bushings, lack of protection against pulling and twisting forces, grounding routed through painted surfaces, and accessible internal wiring that can overheat. Additionally, the ballasts can overheat significantly, creating a fire risk. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive or the relevant European EN 60598 safety standard.

The product, which consists of a 35x19x10 cm base with a 26x26 cm aluminum reflector and mat glass cover, is designed to hold two G24-d-3 lamp holders for 26W compact fluorescent lamps and operates at 230V, 50Hz.
