Abstract:

A wall recessed receptacle box contained night light with a photocell light intensity dusk-dawn (or room illumination) on/off switch control equipped with manual dimming control for a darker/brighter night light atmosphere. The night light box is insertable in a recessed box in the wall otherwise used for a normal receptacle outlet and includes at least one plug in receptacle with the light translucent or transparent cover close to flush with the wall in the recessed night light box. The night light has an internal light bulb that may be easily replaced by removing a retaining screw at the top of the cover so that the bottom hinge mounted cover may be pivoted out and down to not only expose the bulb to be replaced but also automatically simultaneously disconnect the electric supply from the bulb socket and eliminate power from the bottom of the bulb in the socket for safety.
