A lighting device and system having a faceplate and a backplate. The faceplate or the backplate may have an arm or a set of arms having electrical conductors to connect or couple to the electrical contact points of an outlet, plug, or switch. The operational modes may be in an emergency lighting mode and a nightlight mode. The voltage source can be connected to a light source or sensor through the control circuit or the switch, and the light source may be activated based on the output of the sensor. A controller is connected to the sensor can send or receive wireless signals through a wireless module.

A method and apparatus for securing an electrical connection formed by a mating structure including prongs of a male assembly and receptacles of a female assembly are provided. In certain embodiments, the electrical connection can be secured by frictional engagement between the plug and receptacle housings. This can be accomplished by forcing a wedge into an interface between the housings or expanding a locking element, such as an elastomeric ring, into the interface. Such locking and releasing of the secure connection can be actuated using a locking nut.

A power supply connection for arrangement in the region of an outer contour of a motor vehicle, in particular of an electric vehicle, having a power supply opening associated with a housing mounted on the vehicle in a ready-to-operate functional state. The power supply opening can be closed by a closing cover mounted movably on the vehicle between an open position and a closed position and actuated by an electrically activatable control device coupled to a capacitive sensor system in order to allow the closing cover to be opened and/or closed depending on a gesture control operation by a person in the region of the power supply opening. The closing cover is of an electrically conductive design and is electrically coupled to the capacitive sensor system.

The present system generally relates to a tamper resistant cap that prevents unwanted access to a semi-tractor trailer's 7 ways connection. The system includes a controller that can be operated remotely to transmit signals to an actuator within the cap. The actuator operates a lock to secure the cap in the closed position and selectively unlock the lock to allow the cap to be opened.
