Decorator Receptacle Space Gray Tamper-Resistant Outlet - 10 Pack

In this review the ENERLITES Elite Series decorator receptacle is evaluated for homeowners and light commercial installers who want a neat, child safe outlet with a refined finish. The bottom line: it is best for anyone replacing standard 1-gang outlets who values a smooth metallic face, simple self-grounding installation, and tamper-resistant safety. The review finds the outlet particularly appealing where aesthetic match and basic durability matter, and notes the 10 pack is convenient for multi-room projects.

Key Features

• Smooth metallic face: The outlet face has a soft metallic finish that improves room aesthetics and blends with contemporary decor.
• Child safe tamper-resistant: The built-in tamper-resistant mechanism helps prevent unwanted objects from being inserted, increasing safety for homes with children.
• Self-grounding design: Self-grounding simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate grounding conductor to the device.
• Shallow body fits standard boxes: The compact depth allows replacement in most existing 1-gang junction boxes without modification.
• Flexible wiring options: Choice of back insertion or side screw terminals gives installers flexibility for different wiring practices.
• Durable construction: Impact-resistant polycarbonate thermoplastic with UL listing and UL94 V2 flammability rating for long service life.

Who It's For

The outlet is aimed at DIYers, electricians, and property managers who need a reliable, attractive standard outlet for homes, apartments, condominiums, and light commercial settings such as offices, hotels, and restaurants. The 10 pack is especially useful when replacing multiple outlets at once or when matching a consistent finish across several rooms.

Those who should look elsewhere include users needing specialty receptacles (GFCI, USB, or higher amperage) or those who require integrated wall plates, since wall plates are sold separately. Buyers seeking a softer plastic finish rather than a metallic look should compare other finishes.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons

• Wall plate must be purchased separately if a screwless or guide light cover is desired for a complete look.
