ABSTRACT:
A night light includes a bottom member on which a receptacle is formed to receive and hold therein an electro-luminescent light source. The bottom member has two blade openings through which a pair of conductor blades extend to be adapted to fit into a first set of outlet openings of a wall outlet. The conductor blades are in contact engagement with two contact terminals of the light source to conduct electricity to the light source for generating light. A cover member is mounted to cover the bottom member to hold the light source and the conductor blades therein. The bottom member has an extended section adapted to overlap the wall outlet and having a passage corresponding to and exposing a second set of outlet openings of the wall outlet covered by the extended section of the bottom member. A shied is pivoted to the extended section of the bottom member to be rotatable between a closed position where the shield covers the passage and an open position where the shield is rotated away from the bottom member to expose the passage so as to allow an external plug to connect to the second set outlet openings of the wall outlet through the passage. A securing device is provided to releasably secure the shield in the closed position.
