Nope.

I've got one under a picking bucket plugged into the sockets
on the wind up reel at the end of a long extension cord half
way down the backyard of the neighbour that backs onto my
house. That's used by that neighbour and the grandkids of
the other neighbour across the park when they are in town.

Works fine. Atleast it does now. The first time I set it up I didn’t
notice the big split in the bottom of the bucket of my neighbour's
that I used initially. It stopped working in the first mega deluge,
just because the rain got in thru the split and filled the mains
socket with water and shorted it out. Fixed with the picking
bucket and has now worked fine for well over half a year.
