A hexagonal LED lighting kit sold nationally through Bunnings has been recalled after testing found exposed live parts that could cause a serious electric shock.
What Happened
ACCC Product Safety has confirmed a recall of the LightEASE Hexagonal LED lighting kit (model LE5HEX), supplied by DMI Enterprises and sold through Bunnings Warehouse stores and online. The recall covers stock sold between 12 January and 16 February 2026.
Why It Matters
Testing found the product has live accessible parts, meaning exposed metal pins a finger can easily reach, inadequate insulation around other energised parts, and a power cable and connector set that is not an approved type. Together, these faults create a genuine risk of death or serious electric shock, particularly for a product commonly installed as a DIY lighting feature in a garage, workshop or home gym.
Who Is Affected
Households that purchased a LightEASE Hexagonal LED lighting kit from any Bunnings Warehouse store or online, within the affected sale window in early 2026.
What to Do / What to Watch
Stop using and unplug any LightEASE Hexagonal LED lighting kit immediately. Do not attempt to inspect or repair the unit yourself given the live-parts fault. Return it to any Bunnings store for a full refund. This recall applies specifically to this product and does not suggest other Bunnings-sold lighting products are affected.
