The existing conductor cross section is about 0.15 mm², the required cross section is 0.5 mm², thus overload is possible, as the function is that of an extension cord with accompanying luminaire. The conductor insulation does not fulfill the requirements for double insulation according to EN 60598-2-20, thereby it can be easily damaged.
