Make Your Bathroom More Relaxing with a LED Shower Head
Taking a shower is probably the best part of the day. Not only does one love the sensation of feeling clean and smelling nice, but being in the shower is an incredibly relaxing experience. What if we told you that you can make the whole thing even more relaxing if you invested in items that could create a very soothing décor, such as scented candles or LED shower heads? No, this isn’t an article about perfumed candles, but we are going to show you how awesome LED shower heads can be by teaching you what you need to look for in such a product and what are some of the best-LED shower heads that money can buy.
Benefits of a LED Shower Head
You might be thinking that a LED shower head is nothing more than an average shower head with pretty light. And you wouldn’t be very wrong in assuming that. However, there are plenty of benefits that the light factor brings to the table, so let’s explain why LED shower head are a much cooler and more convenient option compared to a regular product.
- Because of their colorful lights, LED showers are bound to make bath time more enjoyable for kids. Parents have often struggled to convince their children to take a bath before going to bed, but the playful lights that LED shower heads are equipped with are surely going to attract the curiosity of your child while also making them fascinated with the different colors.
- LED shower heads are way more convenient than people think. In fact, the price difference between a regular shower head and a LED one is quite insignificant. Even more, certain models have LED attachments that can be removed, so if you ever feel like you’re not in the mood for colorful lights while you’re taking a shower, you can always remove the LED and use the shower head as you normally would.
- Some LED shower head will change color depending on the water temperature. This is a huge benefit because you will always know how hot or cold the water is without having to touch it. You can avoid that horrible sensation of a cold jet of water on your body but you can also avoid that burning sensation when you step under a very hot shower.
- Aside from the obvious romantic atmosphere brought forth by these shower heads, what if the LED was powerful enough for you to shower without having to turn the lights on? This is, of course, a piece of advice that we would only give to people who are super careful and can still see in the dark. If there is a slightest chance that you won’t see what you’re doing under the LED shower head lights, then disregard this idea because there’s no joking around with bathroom safety.
- Last, but not least, we wanted to say that LED shower heads are safer than you think. It’s only natural to think that electricity and water should never be combined, but LED shower heads are constructed to use water to generate power, which nullified the chances of an electric shock (note that some models are battery-powered).
Choosing a LED Shower Head
Knowing more about a line of products before you buy it will help you stay informed enough to make a shopping decision that you won’t regret. When it comes to opting for a shower hand, understanding what these product have to offer will help you realize whether this product is suitable for you or not, but also show you what to look for in case you decide to buy one. With LED shower heads, here is the need-to-know information:
- Setup: Whenever people hear about the concept of LED lights, they think that installing these shower heads requires some sort of special setup. The reality is that installing a LED shower head is basically the same as setting up a regular shower head. The fitting are standard and there is no additional hardware or wiring required to do so.
- Power: Another common myth is the fact that LED shower lights need to be connected to electricity, when they are actually either battery or water-powered. Most of these products literally use the pressure of water to turn on the integrated lights. That means that they don’t add up to your electricity bill no matter which types of power option your future LED shower head is equipped with.
- Temperature-related features: While some LED shower heads allow you select the desired color for the lights, it is best if you opt for models with automatic color change based on the temperature of the water. They typically have three colors: blue is to indicate colder water, green is for water that’s safe to use when showering, and red will tell you that the temperature might be too high for the average human comfort.
