A toilet seat light will help you transform your toilet in several ways, namely
Depending on the type of toilet light you invest in, there are many different benefits that each can afford you. It is worth noting that there are two types of toilet lights. This will help you make an informed choice, and they are:
Those integrated with the toilet seat
This light is integrated with the toilet seat. If you are shopping for a toilet seat, buying one with toilet seat light may be the best decision that you can make. These lights will give you an additional benefit of heating the seat. The seat can also slow/close hence avoiding pinching your fingers or slamming. Examples include the Delta Faucet 813902-N-WH Sanborne and the Kohler 78059-0 Rutledge.
Those hanging from the toilet rim
These are the most common toilet seat lights. They are also the least expensive, and they are an excellent alternative to lighting up your toilet. Many of them come with a wad of LED lights and can easily be hung from the rim of the toilet bowl. Some can also be hung on the wall using a bending arm or a magnetic strip. Most of them even come with motion and light sensors. A good example includes the Vintar Toilet Night Light and the LumiLux Toilet Light Motion Detection.
You will have an easy time installing your toilet nightlight. If it is the toilet seat light, you will start with unpacking the seat, the fixing the batteries and then following the manufacturer’s installation instructions. You will then have the option of setting the lighting cycle. Some have a 7-hour cycle, while others use a 9-hour cycle. Some toilet seat lights do come with an electric cord to plug to the socket.
As for the hanging over the toilet bowl rim nightlights, the procedure is more straightforward. All you have to do is insert the batteries and then placing the gadget at the right place. It is preferred that the device faces the door to detect movement at the door. Many of these lights come with motion and light sensors.
Irrespective of your budget, you should never fail to enjoy a well-lit toilet. In our review, we found toilet seats that cost as low as $12 and yet they will help deliver your bland toilet into the 21st century. There are premium toilet seat lights such as the Delta Faucet 813902-N-WH Sanborne whose price is above $50.
If you keep grappling in the dark and hitting your toes on wall corners and eventually losing sleep just because you visited the toilet at night, it is probably time to invest in a toilet light. Some of the features to look out for when shopping around for a toilet seat light include:
Some of the toilet lights come with motion sensors and light sensors. When buying your light, you should consider whether these features are necessary or not. With the motion sensor, the potty light comes on whenever you open the toilet door at night. The light will then go off when the device senses no movements after so many seconds. Different devices come with varying detection distance. In the case of AUVON Rechargeable Motion Sensor Night Light, it is 20ft and 10 ft for Vintar Toilet Night Light. When you switch on the lights after entering the toilet, the toilet light will go off and come back on when you switch them off.
This feature means the duration which your toilet light will stay on every night. In the case of Delta Faucet 813902-N-WH Sanborne, the working time is 9 hours of illumination and 15 hours of being off. You should, therefore, set the timer in such a way that the light stays on at night and going off during the day when not needed. For the battery toilet lights, a majority of them come with light detectors as well as motion sensors. This means the toilet light only lights up at night, and when you enter the toilet. The batteries can last for as long as six months as is the case with the AUVON toilet light.
You can alter the color your toilet light gives on most gadgets. Unless you buy a toilet seat light that comes with predetermined lighting color, some of the devices offer a range of colors, some as many as 16. With the toilet seats that provide a range of colors, you can opt to have a carousel of colors to lighten up your bathroom, or you can pick a constant color.
The durability of your toilet light is something else to consider when shopping for one. It’s common to find that yours is made of plastic. To ensure the durability of your toilet seat light, manufacturers such as BEMIS and Delta make their products slow/close. This prevents the toilet seat from slamming.
For the toilet seat lights that use batteries, the manufacturers include a battery charge indicator. This indicator helps you know whether the batteries are down or not. However, there are those lights that don’t offer this feature.
The brightness that your toilet light delivers is something to consider. You don’t want to enter the toilet when drowsy, and the first thing you see is a super bright toilet bowl. Some toilet lights such as the AUVON Rechargeable Motion Sensor Night Light, offer 3 different brightness options. The Vintar Toilet Night Light and LumiLux Toilet Light Motion Detection have 5 dimming settings. You can, therefore adjust the lighting in the bathroom to suit your taste.
In some instances, it might be okay to buy a product or service without minding the guarantee the manufacturer has to offer. But in the case of potty lights, it is wise to invest in one whose maker gives their word as to the functionality and durability of the gadget. Vintar, MAYFAIR, and Kohler provide a one-year warranty while AUVON backs theirs with a 2-year warranty. A lifetime replacement warranty supports LumiLux Toilet Light Motion Detection.
The design of your toilet light influences its usability. You cannot invest in an oval seat light when your toilet is round. But, to cope with this challenge, MAYFAIR and Delta among other makers of seat lights make their products adjustable. Their seat lights can, therefore fit different toilet sizes.
How hard or easy it is to install your toilet light should be something to consider. This is because you will often be tasked with the job of replacing batteries and cleaning the gadget. The easier it is to install the light, the more convenient it will be for you to use it. In the case of Vintar Toilet Night Light, all you have to do is hook the arm on to the toilet rim. In the case of Delta Faucet 813902-N-WH Sanborne, you should read the installation instructions from the manufacturer. However, it is an easy procedure that will take you less than five minutes.
You may be looking forward to fully transforming your toilet with a premium toilet seat light. Some products will give you just what you need and much more. Some of them can warm the toilet seat while others boast of deodorizing and sanitation features. These extra features are the ones that will transform your toilet in untold ways.
The Delta Faucet 813902-N-WH Sanborne toilet light is our editor’s choice. Besides allowing you to choose between blue or white illumination colors, it stays lit for 9 hours and will serve you for 6 straight months. Moreover, the non-slip bumpers help at ensuring the toilet seat if firm and durable.
The BEMIS Radiance toilet seat is our premium pick if you are willing to splurge. It is one of the best toilet light models for several reasons. We loved its one-year warranty and how it warms the toilet seat. What’s more, it can fit on a wide range of toilets.
