I bite. ;~). What is better than the Edison Screw system? And why is
it dangerous?

A "bit" more exposure. But like you said, don't stick you finger in
that hole, on either base. LOL

Probably a bayonet base. Remember, the Brits use a balanced
(ungrounded) 230V. The "shell" of the Edison base will be hot. Of
course, with most lamps here in the US, there is a 50/50 chance that
the shell will be hot, too. The solution is DON'T STICK YOUR FINGERS
IN THE LIGHT SOCKET!". ;-)
