Leviton Residential Grade Tamper-Resistant Receptacle with LED Guide Light, 15-Amp

The Leviton Residential Grade Tamper-Resistant Receptacle with LED Guide Light is a 15-Amp duplex receptacle built for everyday residential wiring where safety and convenience both matter. Its integrated LED guide light provides a soft glow that makes outlets easy to locate in dark hallways, bedrooms, and stairwells, while the tamper-resistant shutters help keep small children safe from accidental contact with energized contacts.

Leviton T6525-W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Leviton T6525-W tamper-resistant receptacle fit a standard electrical wallbox and existing cover plates?
Yes. The T6525-W is a standard duplex receptacle that mounts in a common electrical wallbox and takes standard Leviton wallplates, so it drops into the same opening as the duplex outlet you are pulling out. The device is white, so a white or clear plate will match.
2) Can I use a 15-amp tamper-resistant receptacle on a 20-amp branch circuit?
The T6525-W is rated 15A at 125V. Code allows a 15-amp receptacle on a 20-amp circuit when more than one receptacle is on that circuit, which covers most general-purpose bedroom and hallway runs. If the circuit is a single-receptacle dedicated branch, the receptacle has to match the 20-amp breaker, and this device will not satisfy that.
3) Is a tamper-resistant receptacle required in bedrooms and hallways, or is a standard duplex fine?
Current NEC requires tamper-resistant receptacles in dwelling unit living areas, including bedrooms, hallways, and kitchens, so a standard duplex is not a compliant replacement in those rooms. The T6525-W is a tamper-resistant device with internal shutters that block objects pushed into the unused slots, which is what satisfies that requirement.
4) Is this receptacle GFCI protected for bathroom or kitchen counter use?
No. The T6525-W is a tamper-resistant duplex receptacle with a guide light, not a GFCI device. For bathroom, kitchen countertop, garage, or outdoor locations that require ground-fault protection, use a GFCI receptacle or feed the outlet from a GFCI breaker.
5) Does the LED guide light on this Leviton outlet need its own wiring or a separate circuit?
No extra wiring. The LED guide light is built into the receptacle and runs off the same 125V line and neutral feeding the outlet, so you wire it like any ordinary duplex device. There is no low-voltage lead and no separate switch leg to pull.
6) Is this Leviton receptacle rated for commercial or multi-family corridor use?
It is a residential grade device, built for household circuits. For apartment corridors, offices, schools, or anywhere with heavy plug cycling, specify a commercial or spec grade receptacle instead; residential grade is not built for that duty.
7) What exact Leviton part number should I order for the white tamper-resistant guide light outlet?
Order Leviton T6525-W. That is the 15A, 125V residential grade tamper-resistant duplex with the built-in LED guide light, in white. One model, one color on that number.
8) Can the T6525-W replace a plug-in night light in a bedroom or stairwell?
That is the point of it. The integrated LED puts a soft glow on the receptacle face so the outlet is findable in a dark hall, bedroom, or stairwell, and because the light is inside the device, both outlets of the duplex stay free for lamps, chargers, and small appliances rather than being blocked by a night light.
