What is the best Power Outlet?
In my opinion it's Type-F
Because:
* It's bi-directional
* It's grounded and ungrounded plugs use the same socket
* It's already widespread
* Your fingers can't touch the live wire as you're plugging in a wire
* Low footprint
Bi-directional is a double-edged feature.
It means that there is no reliable way of identifying line and neutral wire, which requires more complex double switches downstream.
Also, F is unnecessarily clunky and big and hard to make a weather-proof version of because of the complex shape.
