Buying advice

When choosing a light socket (outlet), consider the type (duplex, USB, GFCI), amperage (15A or 20A), and safety features like tamper resistance. For most homes, a standard 15A tamper-resistant outlet is sufficient. If you charge devices often, a USB outlet adds convenience. Outdoor use requires weather-resistant models. Always turn off power at the breaker before installation.
