What fits into a Type L socket
| Plug | Fits | Earth |
|---|---|---|
| Type C | yes | lost A Type C plug has no earth pin at all, so nothing gets earthed in a Type L socket. Only matters if the thing you are plugging in needs one |
| Type L | yes | preserved |
Fits but drops the earth: Type C. Harmless on a double-insulated charger; a shock risk on anything with a metal body.
