Reviewing the Illumi Bowl

 

 

Is the Illumi bowl all it’s lit up to be?

My first impression of this light-up toilet gadget where that it was a little bit small, and I did wonder whether it was it all is was lit up to be?

I was a little disappointed that the 3 AAA batteries required to help light this up weren’t included; however, nowadays, most gadgets come without batteries.

Luckily I found some rechargeable batteries kicking around in a drawer, so I ran upstairs to fit this beauty.

The instructions inside the packaging were pretty straightforward to read with clear diagrams.

Illumi bowl design

This cool gadget comes in a small box, and I was lucky enough to receive one to review.  This design is effortless – a white plastic box with room for 3 AAA batteries, a round motion detector and some suction cups at the back.

To fit this little beauty, make sure you lift the toilet seat and place the illumi bowl outside the toilet. Bend the illumi bowl arm over the toilet rim.

Remove the gadget and bend the shape to a 90-degree angle. 

Insert the batteries and slip the illumi bowl over the rim of the toilet with the light on the inner rim and the illumi bowl facing the bathroom entrance.

It would help if you pressed the button to set it to the colour you want; otherwise, it will keep rotating eight different colours.

Remember that this product won’t work unless it’s dark.

When it detects movement, it will stay on for 2 minutes. If you turn on the light, the illumi bowl will stay off and save the batteries.

The colour-changing light is a 5mm LED capable of lasting 100,000 hours of use.

Benefits :

• It’s also easy to clean, wipe it with a damp cloth or cleaner.
• No more tripping over in the dark
• No more blinding lights
• No more missing the toilet
• It comes in 8 colours, so you can choose which one to set it to or you can leave it to rotate.
• It’s easy to fit

Conclusion

This tech gadget is quite good and does exactly what it says in the instructions.

It lights up the toilet bowl in the dark without blinding me when I get up in the night to use the toilet. It’s not the sort of thing that everyone would rush out and buy.

However, if you are a fan of gadgets or have small children, this little light could come on useful.
