Can I take advantage of a lapsed patent claim, even though some newer active patents exist with similar claims?

So I am currently in the midst of developing a product that uses protruded prongs to make connection with electrical receptacle screws. I found a lapsed patent that had done the same to produce an illuminated cover plate. However, through more research I found a granted active patent. These both findings have a claim that is very much the same as the lapsed patent. Is this the right assumption?
