Kevin,

Jeff, for those of us weak in electrical, can you explain the issues? Thanks.
The other Jeff nailed it. Improper wiring was also an issue. They used a two wire extension cord for some of what was pictured.
In short, all splices are supposed to be inside a junction box with clamps to hold them in place. They should have used Romex or some other pre-assembled cable for the installation, rather than the individual wires shown.
