Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? A string of 100 LED lights made in China may give you an electric shock because the wires inside are too close together.

What's happening? The lights’ safety insulation is poor. If you touch them, electricity could travel through you.

Does this affect me? Anyone using these lights in Lithuania could get hurt.

What should I do? Stop using the lights right away. Ask a shop or an electrician for a safe replacement.
