Glowing gel bath mat

Angelfish, seahorses and many other wonders of the ocean seek solitude and safety from their predators within the warm glow of the sea anemone’s protective tentacles. It is this symbiotic relationship that inspired the glowing gel bathmat.
Small light emitting diodes, located in the delicate gel bubbles, radiate a dim glow that envelops and soothes your body as you lay in your tub. The led’s are powered by a simple, 100% rechargeable battery.

Nice idea…but how expensive would a simple functioning object like this cost with all the extra features? I think the gell bubbles are a great idea for comfort, but the battery charged diods seem inappropriate since you can acheive ambient light with a candle.
Just one question: isn’t putting an electrically charged object in the bathtub a bad thing? even if it’s low voltage?
Just curious.
William, I couldn’t have said it better myself. If/when one of those malfuction, you’re gonna have one hell of a lawsuit.
Shower in the dark,
Exchanging glances,
Shower in the dark,
Don’t know where pants is…..
I like the gel bubbles!
Forget the batteries and just manufacture a giant glowstick-pad.
Maybe this could be used as a mere bathroom mat rather than be submerged in bathwater and risk electrical shock to some unknowing being.
Electrical appliances connected to mains power in bathtub water will kill a person, as phase finds a return path through the water. A device such as this could easily be insulated, and if water was to get into the electrics it will simply short the battery. However a rechargeable battery is never %100 rechargeable, all rechargeable lose charge over time. This is an ok idea, think it has a very limited market.
