ABSTRACT:
A combined electrical receptacle type adaptor and night light providing both multiple electrical sockets and subdued illumination, comprising a wall plate in the form of a truncated pyramid with four sloped faces and a pair of conductor prongs protruding from the rear of the wall plate and adapted to be received in openings of an existing wall outlet for establishing electrical contact with the circuits thereof. The wall plate carries a pair of two-conductor sockets, the conductors of which are connected respectively to the back prongs. The plate additionally has a pair of electric lamps respectively disposed at non-adjacent faces of the pyramid, for illuminating areas on opposite sides thereof. Also carried by the wall plate is a switch connected with the lamps, providing control of their energization. In a preferred embodiment, the switch is disposed in a third face of the pyramid and enables the lamps to be selectively energized at either half or full brilliance. The arrangement is such that the adaptor can be readily installed over the existing wall outlet, to provide subdued illumination without sacrifice or loss of the duplex function of the outlet.
