To be safe, don't handle / change with the power on.

A lot of the chinese imports are pretty dodgy.
Friends of mine for a solar powered motion sensing spot light
they mounted it onto their wooden stables, perfect for when they need to go tend to the horses during the night, one afternoon as Cindy was walking in the garden, luckily close to the stables, she heard a bang, then saw smoke from the stable wall. The battery behind the solar panel had exploded, maybe it got too much sun :wth: and immediately started burning, if she had not been in the area at the time, they would have completely lost their stables no doubt
