Electrical receptacle for furniture

A furniture electrical system comprising:

• a housing defining an interior cavity;
• a mounting bracket for securing said housing to a furniture article;
• a low voltage DC electrical outlet positioned in said interior cavity and accessible through an opening formed in said housing;
• an electrical power cord passing through said housing and adapted to engage and receive high voltage DC electrical power from an AC-to-DC electrical supply that supplies the high voltage DC electrical power directly to an electric motor for adjusting a height or configuration of the furniture article;
• an electrical converter disposed in said interior cavity and in electrical communication with said electrical power cord and with said low voltage DC electrical outlet, wherein said electrical converter is configured to convert the high voltage DC electrical power from the electrical supply to a low voltage DC output at said low voltage DC electrical outlet;
• an indicia lamp associated with said low voltage DC electrical outlet;
• and
• an electrical circuit board disposed in said interior cavity and in electrical communication with said electrical converter, wherein said electrical circuit board supports said low voltage DC electrical outlet and said indicia lamp;
• wherein said electrical circuit is operable to illuminate said indicia lamp at a first luminous intensity when said low voltage DC electrical outlet is energized and said low voltage DC electrical outlet electrical outlet is not supplying electrical power to an electrical power consumer, and wherein said electrical circuit is operable to illuminate said indicia lamp at a second luminous intensity that is different from said first luminous intensity when said low voltage DC electrical outlet is energized and said low voltage DC electrical outlet is supplying electrical power to an electrical power consumer;
• and
• wherein said electrical circuit board comprises a first voltage comparator and a first transistor, wherein said first voltage comparator is operable to output a first signal to said first transistor when said first voltage comparator detects said low voltage DC electrical outlet supplying electrical power to the electrical power consumer, and wherein said first transistor is configured to cause a voltage to develop along a first resistor in parallel with a second resistor when the signal is received, otherwise, the voltage only develops along the second resistor, and wherein a change in luminous intensity is defined by whether said low voltage DC electrical outlet is supplying electrical power to the electrical power consumer.
