The electrical-outlet-cover powers a grille and two flood lights.

This electrical outlet cover has good durability and is significantly better in construction than the one I had installed about 16 years ago.
The plastic tabs holding the switch mechanism together are flimsy and brittle. I don't expect it to last if it didn't come broken.
