Safeguard Yourself From Burns With LED Faucet

111309_rg_LEDSusan_01.jpgIt's a given that almost everyone has scalded their hands from water that was just too hot. Wouldn't it just be easier to be able to tell the temperature of the water with a simple glance?

 
 

That's what the Korean company Rotal Toto has created. They named their faucet the LED Susan and it's a smart faucet, since it shows the temperature of the water with a colored indicator. The faucet looks clean and modern and has an LED-lit black button that will turn blue if the water is less than 78°F. It will turn red when the temperature is above 100°F. We think that this is just a great idea. Instead of actually displaying the water temperature, which is pointless, they came up with a simple and effective way of telling the temperature with a glance. It takes a few seconds for the display to tell you the temperature.

On top of that, this faucet looks pretty good. It's got a high-polish chrome finish and a funky shape, which will make it an interesting addition to any modern bathroom. We think that it looks good and we'd like this feature to be incorporated in all future faucets.

really? almost everyone has scalded themselves on hot tap water before? that sounds like a marketing gimmick to me.

They have the same thing for a shower head. Not as good looking though. They sell them here.

Mankind has lived for thousands upon thousands of years without this device. I think we can keep living without it.
