  • Patent number: 9146032
    Abstract: A toilet lighting system and method is disclosed. The lighting system can include a light source directed into a toilet waste container to seek to provide a predetermined lighting effect. One such effect can be to obscure or mask the appearance of waste in the toilet waste container, which, depending on the particular system, can render the user experience less unappealing and even entertaining, more efficient, and/or less wasteful or messy. The light source can be predetermined and mounted to provide various types of effects when material in the toilet waste container is exposed to the light from the light source. The toilet lighting system can be waterproof and capable of being exposed to high fluid pressure when pressure washed. The toilet lighting system can be powered in a number of ways, including by battery, solar, wind, geothermal, or other power supplying systems.
