Experts Warn of LED Fire Hazards from Poor Installation
LED lights are popular decorations but can be dangerous if they are not installed properly or are low quality.
Imagine tiny light bulbs getting too hot or flickering.
If the lights aren't put in correctly, they might not have safety switches called MCBs, like a breaker in your house.
Also, if the lights are cheap, they can overheat, blink and hurt your eyes or even cause sparks.
Experts suggest that people should be careful about the lights they buy and make sure they are installed safely to prevent any problems.
Experts warn about fire hazards from improperly installed or low-quality LED lights.
Improper installation often lacks essential safety measures like MCBs.
Poor quality LEDs can overheat, flicker, and cause eye strain or headaches.
Substandard LEDs sourced from markets may lack proper certification.
Experts recommend proper wiring, secure mounting, and adequate insulation for LED lights.
