 In our continuing efforts to bring you the latest and greatest technology to endorken your restroom (and how exactly do I keep getting away with using "endorken" as a word?), I present you with this: the faucet light. From the upstanding citizens at ThinkGeek--the people who brought you those remote control Daleks you've been pining away for--comes this easy to screw on tranquil blue faucet light.
Harnessing the near-limitless power of ordinary watch batteries, the attachment turns on automatically whenever water flows through it, turning ordinary water into Glowing Blue Lit Water (tm)! Wow! Couple that with some sort of nightlight, and you'll be able to unscrew those ordinary bathroom lights entirely. The only thing that strikes me as strange about the whole thing is where ThinkGeek filed the product: home office. I know some people do their best thinking in there, but still...

What about reunendorkination?
July 18, 2006 2:14 PM
I think you're mistaken. It's filed under "Home AND Office" in ThinkGeek, not home office.

You're right, Howie. It's clearly Home & Office. Which is nonetheless how I think about my bathroom: it's my home, my office, and my source of comfort on those long, sleepless nights. Nathan, my man, I'm still trying to figure out how to get the really good words in there. The $10,000 word is reunendorkenationISM. It's scientific analysis of the process of eliminating the removal of dorkiness...again. Or something like that.

If there are ever any classes offered on the science of reunendorkination please let us all know. I need to become educated in this fine craft so I can try to unendorkin my husband! But alas I feel it is hopless.

Ok, all I can think of is the blue toilet water achieved via the sanitizing "cake" that you drop in the tank. Now you can always think of that when you drink your blue water. Red would be blood, green would be slime. Hmmm . . . what is an appropriate color for water? Oh yeah, that good old "colorless" color!

The cat's finally out of the bag! Guaranteed to unendorkenate your life or your money back! Untel has officially released...

Add a temperature sensor and a Red LED, and you can tell how hot the water is before you scald or freeze your hand - you'll be looking for a nice shade of purple to tell you when it's reached the right temperature. And just imagine the shower nozzles - add Green LEDs and you can watch TV in the shower nozzle...

great idea but why is it not powered by the flowing water given the minimal power needs of LEDs
July 19, 2006 9:47 AM
Y'know what? That's a great idea! It should be water powered. I'm going to call up ThinkGeek and suggest that they pass the idea on to the manufacturer.

Note to Colleen: Are you sure you are not confusing unendorkin with unendorphin?
July 19, 2006 7:13 PM
I have always been plagued by having water that varied from clear to yellow. How do I get one of these so I can be the envy of the bathroom?
August 19, 2006 12:54 PM
Why not put 3 color LED and change the color based on the temp of the water....and water power it of course.

Really cool color. However, why not yellow for the bathroom faucet? After reading the note above the faucet "WE RECYCLE". Should cut down on water use. LOL
