Abstract: An illuminating and annunciating device for a toilet having a bowl, and a seat which is movable between a lower seating position and an upper retracted position, includes an illumination unit for illuminating the bowl for nighttime standing urination. An annunciator unit generates an audible indication which reminds a user to move the seat from the retracted position to the seating position after use. A sensor activates the illumination unit and the annunciator unit when the seat is in the retracted position, and de-activates the illumination unit and the annunciator unit when the seat is in the seating position. The device is attached to the toilet seat or bowl, and the sensor includes a switch which is actuated by the other of the toilet seat or bowl when the seat is in the seating position. The annunciator unit preferably includes an audio module with a recording and playback capability for recording the audible indication as a verbal message, musical sequence, etc.
