Patent ID: 7869171

Claim:
An electrical wiring device comprising: a housing including a plurality of line terminals and a plurality of load terminals, the plurality of load terminals including a plurality of receptacle terminals; a cover assembly coupled to the housing, the cover assembly including at least one set of receptacle openings disposed on either side of a central portion of the cover assembly, each of the at least one set of receptacle openings being in communication with a portion of the plurality of receptacle terminals; a fault detection assembly coupled to the plurality of line terminals, the fault detection circuit being configured to provide a fault detection output in response to detecting a fault condition; a circuit interrupter coupled between the plurality of line terminals and the plurality of load terminals, the circuit interrupter including a first set of contacts configured to provide at least one electrically continuous path between the plurality of line terminals and the plurality of load terminals in a reset state, the first set of contacts being configured to disconnect the at least one electrically continuous path in response to the fault detection output to thereby enter a tripped state; and a light assembly coupled to the plurality of line terminals or the plurality of load terminals, the light assembly including a light reflector disposed in the central portion, a plurality of light emitting diodes disposed in the light reflector, a lens element disposed in the central portion and occupying a substantial portion of a width of the cover assembly and covering the light emitting diodes, the light assembly further including a control circuit coupled between a hot receptacle terminal and a neutral receptacle terminal, the control circuit being configured to energize the light emitting diodes in response to the predetermined stimulus, the light assembly further including a user accessible control element and a dimmer circuit coupled to the user accessible control element and the light emitting diodes, the dimmer circuit being configured to regulate an intensity of light being emitted by the light emitting diodes.
