What is this? This is a battery-powered outdoor lantern sold under the brand ZINC. It is meant to light up gardens or patios.
What's happening? The instructions say it is “class 1,” which normally needs a safety earth wire. The lantern itself does not have that earth wire. If you follow the instructions, the metal parts can become live and give you an electric shock.
Does this affect me? If you own or use this lantern in Ireland, you could get a shock when touching it.
What should I do? Stop using the lantern right away. Ask your local store or a qualified electrician for advice before using it again.
