The test was scheduled on 12th of June 2008. We bring you the live results.

LED Shower LightMany of us have learnt the art of waking up early to get ready to go to work. How often does it happen that you jump into the shower only to realise that the water is too cold for you. Well, here’s a solution by the lazy geeky people - The LED Shower Light.

According to Think Geek website “The LED Shower Light is a brilliant idea. It installs to a standard shower pipe in mere minutes. When you turn the shower on, the water powers a turbine and the LED Shower Light…well, lights up! Blue let’s you know the water is chilly. When the water warms up to 89° F (32° C), the light changes to red. Now you can step in and not freeze your giblets off. And you don’t even need to turn on the light now, because your whole shower glows. It makes for a much nicer morning, trust us. Oh, and if you are the adventurous type, it also makes showers a little more fun for two. Just saying, is all.”
