Claim Text:
1. An electrical wiring assembly for use in a wall box configured to be installed within a wall structure having a major wall surface in an ambient space, the assembly comprising: a wall plate cover configured to form an interior region between the wall plate cover and the wall box or the major wall surface when the wall plate cover is coupled to the wall box, the wall plate cover being further configured to substantially prevent access to the interior region when the wall plate cover is coupled to the wall box, the wall plate cover including a plurality of openings configured to direct a plurality of light beams in a direction substantially parallel to the major wall surface; a housing portion having a form factor substantially conforming to at least a portion of the wall plate cover and at least partially disposed in the interior region; and an electro-optical assembly coupled to a plurality of wiring terminations, the electro-optical assembly including at least one circuit configured to provide an output signal in response to at least one external input signal, the electro-optical assembly also including a plurality of lighting elements coupled to the at least one circuit and configured to emit the plurality of light beams in response to the output signal, the electro-optical assembly further including an ambient light sensor accessible to the ambient space via at least one of the plurality of openings, the ambient light sensor being configured to generate the at least one external input signal in response to an ambient light level in the ambient space, the ambient light sensor being substantially isolated from the plurality of light beams.
