Abstract
A charging station for providing light as well as power connections, charging and/or data connections includes one or more wiring devices mounted to a power module that slides in the housing of the main assembly of the charging station such that each wiring device is recessed from the outer surface of the charging station. A back wall of the power module serves as a barrier between different branch circuits for code compliance. The charging station is constructed so that most of the required electrical connections are made on the power module prior to the assembly of the charging station.
