A receptacle including a housing having a front cover, an outlet located on the front cover, and a light configured to project light through the front cover. The receptacle further including a photo sensor, a motion detector, and a controller. The photosensor is configured to detect light and output a light signal corresponding to the detected light. The motion detector is configured to detect motion and output a motion signal corresponding to the detected motion. The controller includes a memory and an electronic processor. The controller is configured to receive the light signal, receive the motion signal, compare the light signal to a light signal threshold, compare the motion signal to a motion signal threshold, and activate at least one selected from a group consisting of the light and the outlet, when the light signal crosses the light signal threshold and the motion crosses the motion signal threshold.

The present disclosure provides exemplary embodiments of wiring device assemblies that include an electrical wiring device and electrical plug connector assembly which permits easy connection of electrical conductors to the electrical wiring device via the plug connector assembly. The wiring device assemblies are configured to operate at a common voltage rating and include keying features to ensure the electrical wiring devices are configured to mate with electrical plug connector assemblies rated for the same voltage. The keying features include a key and corresponding keyway used to prevent electrical plug connector assemblies rated for one voltage from being plugged into electrical wiring devices rated for a different voltage.

Tamper resistant cartridges for electrical devices are provided. The tamper resistant cartridges include a housing and one or more tamper resistant assemblies configured to normally block access to electrical contacts with the electrical device, and to permit access to such electrical contacts when the line phase prongs of a plug are inserted into the electrical device.
