  • Brand SIRIUS LIGHTS

What happened

Recessed luminaires branded "SIRIUS LIGHTS" with the "Mars system moons" model name are being recalled due to a fire hazard. The affected luminaires come with halogen lamps rated for 220V-240V, but their lampholders are identical to those designed for extra low voltage use (50V or less). This design flaw means high-voltage halogen lamps could be incompatibly installed in luminaires not intended for them, creating a fire risk. The recalled models are numbered 017513, 017725, 017953, 017943, 017793, 017853, 017903, 017905, 017875, 017705, 017675, 017933, 017945, 017913, 017893, 017935, 017955, 017915, 017925, 017775, and 017845.

The authorities have ordered the product withdrawn from the market. The source does not specify what actions affected consumers should take beyond this market withdrawal order.

Hazard

The product poses a risk of fire because the halogen lampholder for 220V is identical to lampholders intended for extra low voltage (≤50 V). Lampholders initially intended for extra low voltage should not be used for luminaires intended for use with tungsten halogen lamps with a voltage greater than 50 V. The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 60598.
