Something here is not kosher.

Aside from my other comments .....

I'd like to see the clearance / creepage distances for that switch. Can
they seriously meet Class II ?



** Not an issue, as input and output circuits are both at mains voltages.

Only one issue?

Flammable plastic?

Non-FRP plastic melted through leaving a gaping hole and exposing
mains potential?

LED at mains potential without adequate insulation/creepage?
