Jebao Pumps - Illegal?

And does this mean I should disconnect my DIY water sensor (connected to my Apex IO Breakout Box) that shuts down my pumps if I have a water leak or spill?

In my research of LED's I read this.

"Low voltage LED lights do not require these seals as they are required only for line voltage (AC) devices"

I also read the following.

"products that are considered “low voltage devices” by UL do not require UL approval. These devices utilize voltages ranging from 0 to 24VDC and do not have intrinsic safety requirements or other safety requirements for which UL approval would be required."

I'm still getting out of this hobby. It's all a death trap.... Who ever thought mixing water and electricity would carry so many risks...Brad if you're ever out this way I would like to contract you for a little basement reno I have being mulling about.

My last "job" was a basement reno

That's all the certification I require... I will advise the neighbors.

Laurie, where is the UL logo ? I don't see it in that pic. I just flipped over my laptop power supply and it clearly has a "c (UL) us" logo on it. Is there another label on the other side of that power supply?

The one I got with my WP25's has the UL certificate on it. The one he pictured is the optional variable power supply that was purchased optionally.

This is my WP40 adapter. How can I tell if it is fake or illegal?

It was made in China so it is obviously a fake.

It looks legit. You would have to contact the certification company to tell if it was fake. Either way, you should be covered by your insurance company if damages resulted from it failing as it does have the seal and they can't tell consumers that they need to check every appliance manually even if it has the mark.

Either way, contact your insurance company as I hear that many would never deny a claim based off not having the certification.

Everything is made in China!
