Wall lamp (fixed luminaire)

  • Brand Glimex

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

This wall lamp by Glimex poses multiple safety hazards. The product has improperly designed wire ways with sharp metal edges and unfixed bushings that can damage wires, allowing basic insulated wires to contact accessible metal parts and create electric shock risks. The lamp also lacks proper indication of rated power on the light source, creating a fire hazard. Additionally, the iron tube holding the arm has sharp edges and points, and the steel mounting plate has burry edges, both of which can cause injuries. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive or the European standard EN 60598.

The luminaire features a bronze metal cover with a bent tube arm mounted on a 13 cm diameter base plate, an E14 plastic lamp holder, and a 15 cm diameter glass shade, along with decorative iron elements. According to the record, authorities ordered the product's withdrawal from the market. The source does not specify what affected consumers should do in response to this recall.
