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.
