What is this? A V-TAC LED power supply is a plug-in box that changes house power to low-voltage for LED lights. Some of these chargers have too little space between the high-voltage wires and the low-voltage wires inside.
What's happening? The small space can let electricity jump across, making metal parts on the outside live. This can give a dangerous electric shock.
Does this affect me? If you bought this charger in Finland or Hungary, it may be unsafe. Check the label for “V-TAC” and the model number.
What should I do? Stop using it right away. Ask a shop or an electrician for a safe replacement.
