I like gadgets.
I also get up for a loo in the night, mainly as my two girls tend to wake me up. Kids! Who would have them eh?
So put these two things together and what am I talking about. Illumibowl. A fabulous little device that can make your life a lot easier at night when stumbling around for the toilet.
It does as it sounds; illuminates the toilet bowl so you can see where you are going when you need to spend a penny.
It fits very neatly under the toilet bowl and is activated by motion. It is pretty sensitive too and can detect motion up to a few metres. You can set it quite simply to light up in one colour, or it cycle through the eight available. It can be dimmed to suit your preference too. After you have finished and gone, the light switches off after two minutes.
It also automatically stays off if there is any light to save the batteries.
So what did we think?
It is VERY cool.
We were going to place it in the toilet where my little one goes in the night but the light from her sister’s nightlight kept it off. We decided to keep it for ourselves and put it in the en suite.
It really made a difference, as I am often feeling for the sink, which is next to the toilet, so I know where I am. It would be very useful for anyone who struggled a bit and was at risk of tripping or falling in the night. No one wants to switch the main light on, for fear of waking themselves and others up.
I loved the variety of colours and the glow the light gave. It made a very pleasant bathroom break during the night. I did like how it could be dimmed too.
As I said, it is just nifty! Imagine your visitors? They would love it and be suitably impressed with your bathroom facilities.
And you lovely readers are in luck!

What a great idea! I could do with one of these for my husband and son!
What a brilliant idea that i’m sure the kids would love!
Saves waking everyone up at night by switching on bathroom light and gets the bombing target lit up for final approach 😉 (cue Dambusters music)
What a great idea!!! I want one 🙂
This would be brilliant for my son
my sons would love this! x
I’d love one of these in the en-suite. So cool! My son would be desperate to have it in the main bathroom so there would be a bit of a battle!
this would encourage my daughter to not be so scared when she goes to the toilet at night.
Great idea and I love the colours.
What a fab idea when going to the toilet in the middle of the night
Wow these are funky! Never seen these before
Great so I don’t have to put the main light on in the middle of the night and risk waking my husband.
A great idea for the all of the men in the house with no sense of direction
This would be great for the family bathroom, ideal for when my son gets up in the night to use loo
Would love the purple one x
These look great – my little boy is too scared to go to the toilet during the night because it’s too dark so this would solve that problem!
Fab invention. I get really dazzled during the night if I have to put the light on and find it really hard to get back to sleep afterwards. No excuses now
what a great ideal, so useful when you have got young children
Brill idea, love them, fun bathroom lights x
Fantastic !
Wow this is great! For all ages, especially little ones who are scared of the toilet at night (yes really!!!) x
Great idea! Would love to win and try this out!
What a brilliant idea – be a bit of a shock if you didn’t know it was there though!
Great idea light up the loo
Fabulous idea, and not just for the kids, but my partner too lol!!
A great idea, my grandsons would love one of these
i think its a good idea as my little grand daughter is currently at potty training stage and my daughter does tend to wake her once in the night (before my daughter goes to bed) so it would be really great to have here at my home as my grand daughter stays over every weekend. and would be great to have as im a house full of males so would be great for their night time aims,
I love the idea of these
Brilliant idea ! Might also help with toilet training for little ones.
great giveaway!
this looks like it could be very helpful during night visits to the loo!!
My little girl is toilet training at the mo so this would be great for when we get down the stairs x
this is so cool!!
these lokk fab
I love these! my son is just starting to take himself to the toilet during the night so this would be great for him
So good at night not to wake little 1s up
Great giveaway, thanks.
These are such a simple but brilliant idea! Love the colours too 🙂
id love this
This would be absolutely fantastic for. My. Family. Of seven lol
This is awesome i’ve personally never seen something like this before.
Great Idea, perfect for kids
This is so unique. What an item to have in the bathroom.
Fab idea my two boys would love,
Fab when I have a toddler ! Also save money on electric which would be appreciated right now ! Thankyou for this chance x
Just started potty training, so this would come in handy!
Great Idea would help the little grandson go to the toilet
This looks great and would prevent waking my daughter up by accident due to the bathroom light xxx
this looks really good and would be so much better than having to leave lights on
This is such a great idea, so handy when you have young children
Looks fab
this would help the male’s in my house at night
This would definitley be handy of a nightime when the landing and bathroom usually have the lights on once kids have been to the loo during the night. It might also stop my other half peeing on the seat. Great giveaway 🙂
What a great idea especially for children who are frightened of the dark.
Quirky or what?
What a fab idea
Wonderful idea great for my daughter
Great idea I love it no more stubbing your toe on the corner of the bath
What a great idea
What a great idea!
this is awesome id love to win
Great idea!! Would save fumbling around for the light switch.
I have never seen these before! They are such a fabulous idea. It’s perfect for both my girls as they regularly get up to use the bathroom at night and it would save us having to put the lights on, which has a tendancy of waking them up properly, making the chances of them going back to sleep very minimal!
It looks great.
what a brilliant idea! My boys are terrible for leaving all the lights on in the middle of the night when visiting the toilet.. this is a brilliant alternative!
This would be perfect for my OH and son when they go to the toilet in the night and it is a nice glow rather than a bright light
I love these , practical and strangely functional , which I never thought I’d say about a toilet light !
What a brilliant idea no need to be scared going to the toilet in the middle of the night will help alot of children xx
What a great invention! I hate having to leave the bathroom light on all night, I’m forever replacing the bulbs x
Thanks for this fun giveaway
Brilliant, what a great idea. Always put the light on in case I fall over the dog who likes to lay at the top of the stairs and being a labrador cross he’s easy to fall over.
What a brilliant idea! =)
Love the idea of this and the colours
