A power tap includes a housing having a top surface, a bottom surface, and at least one side surface. A first male connector is integrated with a substantially planar portion of the bottom surface and arranged for substantially permanent electromechanical coupling to a first female connector that is integrated with a streetlight luminaire. A second female connector is integrated with a substantially planar portion of the top surface and arranged to receive a second male connector that is integrated with an electronic control device. Each male connector and each female connector is compliant with a roadway area lighting standard promoted by a standards body. The power tap also includes power conversion circuitry arranged to receive a higher voltage input signal and to produce at least one lower voltage output signal. A power input circuit electrically couples the first male connector to the power conversion circuitry, and a power output interface electrically coupled to the power conversion circuitry is arranged to expose the at least one lower voltage output signal.
