Legrand Pass & Seymour GFCI-Nightlight Combo
Pass & Seymour’s complete line of innovation-packed decorator Combination devices — including a broad selection of GFCI combinations — brings you stylish ways to install more function into any wall box. With these versatile devices, you have more opportunities to simplify new installations — plus cost-effective, timesaving solutions to remodeling problems.
This tamper-resistant nightlight/GFCI combination device meets the 2008 NEC standards for child electrical safety. The device incorporates a sealed LED nightlight into a duplex receptacle. The nightlight is sealed with a Lexan lens and features a 20-year life expectancy, according to Legrand. A photocell illuminates the light in the dark and turns it off automatically in the daytime. In addition, the receptacle’s built-in shutter system prevents children from inserting metal objects into the slots and touching electrically live components.
