Gotham Gadgets: LavNav Nightlight Gives New Meaning to Green Technology; Whom You Know's Gotham Gadgets Panel Recommends the Lav Nav! LavNav uses GREEN or RED light to cleverly show the position of the toilet seat at night. It’s smart, energy efficient lighting that makes the bathroom safe and easy to use at night.
Bathroom lights can be painfully bright in the middle of the night and can disturb you or your partner's sleep. Unfortunately, most night lights waste electricity all night long, occupy valuable electrical sockets, and don't put light where you need it.
The LavNav is a better solution. It turns on when you approach in the dark, and turns off after you leave, shining gentle yet sufficient light where you need it, when you need it. Better yet, the LavNav uses GREEN or RED light to cleverly show the position of the seat. It's smart, energy efficient lighting that makes the bathroom safe and easy to use at night. It discreetly mounts right on the lid.
Manufactured and distributed by Arkon Resources, Inc., LavNav lends itself to solving a variety of problems one may face while using the bathroom. Families and couples alike appreciate LavNav ending the ongoing battle over proper placement of the toilet seat, especially at night.
Parents of young children find LavNav an innovative potty training aid. It motivates fun and safe potty trips at night.
Beyond its obvious value for use in your home, the LavNav also provides an ideal solution for RVs and motorhomes, portable restrooms, and yachts and other boats having living quarters attached.
The Gotham Gadgets Panel Commented:
So to be perfectly honest, not a night goes by that I do not have to get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. Sad but true! My least favorite part is turning on the lights which wakes me right up. Or better yet, trying to navigate in the dark, stumbling to the toilet which can sometimes be hazardous. Especially after a night of drinking. So when I heard that the Lav Nav has a motion detection light, I was so thrilled. The awesome infrared light sensor detects you approaching and non abrasively shines it light. How funny is it that the Lav Nav shines green if the seat has been left down saying no need to fret all systems a go. Thank god my husband knows better. And red meaning Halt you’re going to fall in without taking further action if god forbid he or anyone else leaves it up. We all have friends who complain about their husbands and sons who do that. And on top of it all this product might as well be considered “GREEN”. You don’t waste energy turning on lights. It shuts itself off in a timely manner. Stays clean and out of the way and heck even women can install it. Would love to see it have two settings which could include other color choices making it fun for little kids too. All in all, it’s a pretty clever little product someone thought of.
I have to say I was skeptical as was my girlfriend of the Lav Nav, but I must say after three nights it has been a major hit in the household. I have been notoriously inaccurate with my “goings” in the middle of the night, especially after a few sodas or beers, so this new gadget is clutch. I never turned on the lights in the bathroom before anyway in fear I would wake up my dog and he would want to go out at 3-5 am, not to mention it flat our hurts my eyes when I flip the switch straight out from a deep sleep. The gadget fits easily and snug under the seat cover, you barely notice the device and the sensors are precise and the lighting is perfect to identify the target. I highly recommend this device to anyone who has a gadget fetish and has the same issues I have had over the past 33 years. The cool thing is you spare yourself or your girlfriend of the cleanup on the toilet rim and the floor beneath. An all around huge hit with me. Overall grade is a double thumbs up.
LAvNav is a fun product which is at the same time quite utilitarian. You place the handy light on your toilet seat so that when it is in the DOWN position -- and the lighs are out-- your LAvNav flashes green. This allows you to navigate yoir way at night without turning on those bright bathroom lights! If your toilet seat is in the UP position, the LAvNav will flash red, with the same result. I find that the product does exatly what it says. The light is much less jarring to your eyes and senses in the middle of the night than the overhead bathroom light would be. In addition, I enjoy the red and green LAvNav. A very useful as well as enjoyable product!
