The Temperature Controlled Shower Light is stylish, convenient, and a little bit fun.  This is a modern innovation that just might be the best way to make sure your shower water is hot enough.  LED lights are located in the shower head, and they are blue when the water running through them are cold; when they are blue, it means the water is now hot and ready for you to climb in.  When you turn off the shower, the lights turn off too.  This fun shower light and shower head combination is sold at nexusgadgets.com where it is sold for $24.95.  It is made to fit all standard showers.
