ABSTRACT:
A Ground Fault Interrupter ("GFI") combined with a plug-receiving receptacle is mounted in combination with a weathertight container. The container is additionally configured with a weathertight opening through which, a three prong male end of a pigtail from a remote power source is electrically connected to a GFI-protected receptacle. A weathertight lid covering for the container and weathertight rain shield for the container openings assures that the combination is functional during field use or for final storage for user transport of tools and other electrical apparatus. The device is optionally configured with a removable, storable, pedestal pole-mounted light assembly having GFI-protected wiring on the interior of the light pole which may be assembled in combination with the container.
