Hurt, no treatment Made Nov 28, 2023, sent to the company Dec 1, 2023, published by CPSC Dec 15, 2023
The product, in the report: From the Amazon description: TP-Link Tapo RGBWIC Smart LED Light Strip 16.4Ft, 1000 Lumens, 16M Dimmable Colors, 50 Color Zones, Works with [REDACTED], Sync-to-Sound, IP44 PU Coating, Trimmable (Tapo L930-5)
I just purchased a Tapo programmable LED light strip (model 930) through Amazon. When plugged into a standard outlet, it works fine. But when I plugged it into an outlet that has a dimmer control at the wall switch, I started to smell fumes from an electrical malfunction. I immediately disconnected the unit and the plug blades were extremely hot. I am certain that if left in the wall it would have melted the plastic casing of the LED plug and very likely would have created a fire.
UPDATED ON 11/29/2023: [While packaging the item for return, I noticed that the “daisy chain” end of the item had actually melted. I had inspected it prior to use and there were 4 small metal prongs that inserted into the next string of LED lights. As you can see from these images, the plastic around the pins has completely melted from the heat and covered them.]
