As per title. Does anyone know what this symbol means? It’s on a IP rated outdoor light and there’s nothing in the instructions to say what it means.

Customer asked to me to take a look at a light she intends to by 10 of for her garden. This symbol was on it and I’ve never seen it before.

Thanks. Odd if that is what it means as it appears to be a sealed unit apart from the cable entry and mount. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Possibly just a generic sticker that gets stuck on anything and everything that has a glass lens ? regardless if its replaceable or not...

I sleep like a log once the heat of the day is gone. not been much else to do all week. lightning fried my router and house phones. mobile is in repair shop for new screen, lost back-up phone, had a £160 bill to get drains unblocked. beer fund sadly depleted. still not walking right since hip op, but improving slowly. still, there's many younger men in a worse state, so can't grumble.

That's a bummer. At one time the BT master socket might have had an earth wire so the SPD would drop common mode surges to earth, but not seen that for ages. Fine if its a old fashioned analogue phone only connected the the phone line, but with most stuff now being powered that lack of common-mode protection means it has to deal with several kV internally.

They could be properly engineered to do so, but that would rob the shareholders of precious pennies on every sale.

Indeed, the loss of beer money is sad but nothing compared to what some folks have to face as you say.
