Recommended Travel Adaptor for Los Angeles
We’ve reviewed and tested a wide range of adaptors ourselves. Safety, charging speed and durability were all compared. This is the one we trust and recommend.
Didn’t pack an adaptor? You can still grab one when you arrive. Still, it’s better to bring your own than risk paying too much for something unreliable.
Los Angeles is commonly combined with trips to Mexico and Canada. Plugs and voltage might be slightly different, so it’s worth checking before you go.
Sockets in Los Angeles
In Los Angeles, you’ll find Type A and B plugs and sockets.
Type A
Type A sockets have two flat parallel pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they don’t include an earth pin, which makes them less secure.
Type B
Type B sockets have two flat parallel pins plus a round grounding pin. Unlike Type G, the pins are thinner and there’s no built-in fuse.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
A converter could be necessary in Los Angeles because the voltage there differs from the UK standard of 230 V.
Always check the voltage label before you plug in abroad. If it reads ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, your kit will work just fine without a converter — most modern laptops, tablets and chargers already do.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
The right travel gear can save you money, stress, and time. A luggage scale means no nasty shocks at check-in, a power bank keeps your phone ready for maps and tickets, and packing cubes make it easy to find what you need. We recommend them because they work.
