January 16, 2015 – UL is notifying consumers and retailers that certain I-Save Energy GmbH LED tubes bear an unauthorized ENEC-15 Mark, meaning they have not been evaluated by UL to any standards for safety, so it is unknown whether they comply with any safety requirements.

• T8G0354X12040W-15

Besides the unauthorized ENEC-15 Mark, the product bears the following information:
