Hi,
I'm working with a developer to make an electronic device that has an external LED strip overhanging the main housing to assist with function of an optical sensor. The developer currently has the power for the LED strip being routed through the metal rods that physically connect the LED strip to the main housing.
From the first prototype, it seems like a great solution to me. I haven't noticed an interference when touching the metal rods and you definitely don't get shocked when touching the rods or any other components. Is this okay? Are there other devices out there that route the power through a physical component of the housing itself?
Is the developer breaking any product safety rules?
Any feedback would be helpful.
