Outlets in Lapland
Heading to Lapland, you’ll encounter type C and F outlets. These are not the same as in the US, so packing a travel adapter is crucial.
Type C
Type C outlets also work with type C and F plugs.
Type F
Type F outlets also work with type C and E plugs.
Do you need a voltage converter in Lapland?
โ Yes, you’ll likely need a voltage converter.
In Lapland the standard voltage is 230V with a frequency of 50Hz. This doesn’t match the 120V standard in the United States. Therefore, not every device will work with just a travel adapter. Always check if your devices are compatible with different voltages.
A voltage converter is likely necessary for some devices. Always refer to your device’s manual. If it states โINPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz,โ it’s usually usable worldwide.
