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

What is this? This is an aquarium LED light made in China. The plastic case around the power supply is weak. Water can get inside the light.

What's happening? The light’s power supply can break easily. Live wires may be uncovered. If water touches them, you could get an electric shock.

Does this affect me? If you have this light in Hungary, it could hurt you or your fish.

What should I do? Stop using the light right away. Ask a shop or a repair person for help. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor if you feel a shock.
