An adaptor, a light source device using the adaptor, and a lighting apparatus using the adaptor are provided. The adaptor includes a main body, a protruding part, and an operating component. The main body includes: a power supply mounting part, a light source mounting part, and a conducting circuit extending from the power supply mounting part to the light source mounting part; the protruding part is operatively movable to a blocking position for blocking the power supply mounting part from being engaged with the power supply module, and a releasing position for releasing the power supply mounting part to be engaged with the power supply module. The operating component is operatively movable on the main body to an on-position and an off-position.

An electrical outlet has a female member with at least two electrically conductive contact sleeves for the reception of the pins on a plug inserted in the female member and a connector arrangement for connection of the electrical outlet to a mains supply. The female member is movable relative to the connector arrangement between a first mode, in which the contact sleeves are electrically disconnected from the mains supply, and a second mode, in which contact sleeves are electrically connected to a mains supply. The connector arrangement include a connection ring and a mounting plate. The connector arrangement further include connection plates, whose number corresponds to the number of contact sleeves on the female member, wherein each contact sleeve is brought in or out of contact with a connection plate by movement of the female member.

A device includes a first interface configured to connect to a battery charger, a second interface configured to connect to a battery pack and one or more accessory components that define the device. For example, the device may be a fan, a radio, a power adapter, a speaker, a light or other type of device.
