Re: [89attendees] Mystery Power Outlet

This is the "this plug is not for your personal use" plug in the rooms. The lamp and other hotel devices have this somewhat non-standard plug (almost looks like South African plug, close to old Euro plug but a little bigger). Hotel guests are not supposed to use these plugs. Must be a shortage of electricity to go around. :)

I think these plugs are switched (like for the lamp) or maybe housekeeping uses this for vacuums and wants to keep them open.

I thought it was a UK style outlet, but my adapter does not fit. On close inspection, it appears to have 3 round holes. The rectangular pins in my adapter won't fit.  It's otherwise the same layout.
