Question : UK/Ireland electrical travel adaptor?
I'm shopping for an electrical travel adaptor as I'm travelling to Ireland and UK. Is the electrical outlets the same in both countries so I can use just one type of adaptor?

Answer #1
The UK and Ireland operate on a 220 volt system...that's a very important thing to consider when using your electronics. When purchasing any adapter it alone cannot protect your products. Adapters must be able to reduce the current to 110 volts for appliances bearing power packs (like certain laptops and personal appliances). So make sure the adapter has a transformer or the appliance can handle 1500 watts. (usually listed on a sticker or molded in text on the device)The obvious factor to consider is the physical outlet. The bulky UK plugs are very recognizable when compared to the US, Australian and Europe standards. Yes the UK and Irish plugs are the same.
