Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)To be honest, I purchased this product more as a novelty than to serve any practical purpose, assuming it would prove more interesting than functional. I was pleasantly surprised. This is not a perfect solution, but it is very innovative,provides a very pleasing level of light (I like the light level by itself), good range of motion for the showerhead which makes positioning to taste very easy, temp colors are more useful than I thought and I use the color reference to reduce water waste without having to stand there holding my hand under the water.
Pros:
1) Relatively easy installation
2) Water powered (eco friendly, and a little cool/fun)
3) Light comes on immediately when turning on the shower
4) Temperature indicating color band is very useful
5) Provides a high range of motion for your shower head
6) Power button on the backside lets you shut the light off
Cons:
1) The gap between the halves of the shell casing give it an unfinished and slightly industrial appearance. The casing halves should have a complete acrylic or clear plastic window vice being open. It doesn't impact performance, so it is simply a matter of aesthetics.
2) No teflon tape included with product. A small, and common, convenience for the buyer. If you don't have teflon tape, you will want to order or pick up a roll before your light arrives.
3) The female end of the product, the part that attaches the the pipe in the wall, is plastic and can be over-tightened, which would either split the connector or strip the threads, causing leaks or ruining the unit. Exercise caution when installing, and only tighten slightly beyond hand tight.
4) In my opinion, you should attach the showerhead to the product first, than attach the product to your plumbing (wall pipe) to allow you to control how tight the showerhead is, and prevent the unit from rotating when attaching the showerhead.
Summary: I was stuck between product design at 3 stars, and product innovation and operation at 5 stars. I settled on 4 stars as the product, once installed, is very useful and a little fun. If you are gadget minded, and don't mind the minor tech challenge of changing your showerhead, this is a great way to add a natural level of light to your shower using water power, with temperature indicating color that provides a visual cue to water temperature (I like the dark purple temp). Overall, I was satisfied with the product and the price.
