- What socket types are available?
Luxembourg uses earthed sockets of Type F
. Unearthed Type C 
sockets are occasionally found as well; on extension cords for example.- Which plugs can I use?
You can use any modern Type C
, E 
or F plug in Luxembourgish sockets. Some very old Type E plugs may not have the necessary grounding pins to be compatible with Type F sockets. Be sure not to use these without an adapter! Type F plugs are commonly known as "Schuko" (short from German "Schutzkontakt", protective contact) plugs.- Voltage and frequency
The Luxembourgish power grid supplies electricity at 230 volts and 50 Hz. Always check the voltage and frequency ratings of your devices before plugging them in. Many devices, such as phone chargers, are dual-voltage and can be used in Luxembourg without a voltage converter. However, some devices, such as hair dryers, are often not dual-voltage and will require a voltage converter to operate safely.
