Would the USBs be used for charging the Ipad, Phone or whatever?

Leviton has a salution for those pesty night lights in the hallway and integrated them into a outlet.
Receptacle Guide Lights provide illumination and
convenience in high traffic areas like foyers, hallways
and staircases.
Features for Leviton T6525 Include:
• Energy-saving dual LED configuration
provides a soft light that illuminates
small areas.
Built-in photo sensor activates light only
at night or when area is dark.

Tamper-resistant receptacle protects
children and complies with all NEC

TR Codes.

You still need to run a wire.
It is much easier to covert phone line to either net.
That is what I did and it only took minutes.
Simply need to change the heads.
