Affected products may not comply with the applicable Australian Standard AS/NZS 60598.2.1:1998. Specifically, the products may have incorrect internal wiring which is not double insulated and incorrect drivers. The result of this is possible direct exposure of the internal wiring to the conductible surfaces of the T8 tube.
What are the hazards?
These defects create the risk of electrical shock when contact is made with the aluminium heat sink, which runs the length of the tube behind the plastic lens covering. This defect is only evident when the T8 tube is operating.
