Blue LED Faucet Light
Add a bit of color to your drab white bathroom with the help of colored water. The Blue LED Faucet Light gives water a blue neon like glow whenever the tap is turned on.
The faucet light fits on the nozzle of most standard US faucet fittings (taps to us UK folk) and works by detecting when water passes through the attachment. This then turns on an array of blue LEDs giving your water an electric blue hue.
It’s a novel idea and a bit more tasteful than those neon blue lights you see under some boy racer’s car. What would be really cool is if it changed color depending on the temperature of the water, with a red water flow to warn of scolding heat. Who knows, maybe version 2. The Blue LED Faucet Light is available from Think Geek for $14.99.

Do these work for UK taps?

I’m not sure if they work on UK taps as I think US taps are different sizes. It might be worth dropping ThinkGeek an email and asking them.

[...] We wrote about the LED faucet light a while ago and as cool as it was I remember writing how it would be even cooler if the color of the light changed depending on the temperature of the water. We received a comment from the company Equa telling us that they have a product that does just that. [...]

This product does just what you asked:
Temperature Controlled “Faucet Light” Combines Novelty & Safety
For Families.
http://www.hogwildtoys.com/homeandcastle.html
(Portland, Oregon) – It’s a new product that is bringing some
“light-hearted” fun into bathroom and kitchens nationwide. The
Temperature Controlled Faucet Light is designed to determine the
temperature of the flowing water and shine a corresponding
stream of light that changes as the water temperature varies.
How Does the Temperature Controlled Faucet Light Work?
The
Faucet Light replaces the aerator on the end of an existing
faucet. When the water begins flowing through the device the
technology inside is able to determine the temperature of the
water. When the flowing water is cold, a blue light shines down
through the water stream. When the water starts to get warmer
(89˚F/32˚C), the light stream changes from blue to red to alert
the user that the water is getting hot. When the water is off,
the light goes off.
“It’s a product that we think is fun, funky and functional,”
says Hog Wild President Joe Rooper. “It has a unique wow-factor
that everyone enjoys, but is also very practical in helping
prevent possible scalds or accidents.” Rooper says the light
streams are an unexpected surprise and a real conversation
starter.
The novelty of the Faucet Light also makes the bathroom more fun
and therefore can help encourage kids to spend more time
brushing their teeth or washing their hands. In addition to the
safety factor the Faucet Light provides, it can also serve as a
unique night light. For adults, the Faucet Light also adds a
touch of fun and illuminated elegance to a bathroom or powder
room. For seniors, it lets them know in advance when the water
is getting hot.
The patented device is 2.5” long x 1.25” in diameter. It
includes a set of two universal adaptors that fits virtually
every US faucet and screws on in seconds. The product comes in
chrome and brushed silver finishes and includes a set of button
cell batteries in the product as well an additional set of
batteries as replacements. Typical battery life for one set is
around 4 months under normal usage. Battery replacements can
also be purchased at most hardware and convenience stores.
The Faucet Light sells for $21.95 and can be purchased at
specialty retailers in the US or online at: http://www.hogwildtoys.com

These are amazing. Though it’s unusual to think of red or blue water pouring into glasses, it’s an easy way to prevent hands burning and much nicer looking than coloured taps!

That’s quite cool actually… unfortunately I don’t have a faucet, or a tap… just the shower unit!
