The Bath Safeguard product concept was designed for Lite-On Technology, the same company headquartered in Taiwan that has received a Red Dot Design Award in 2007 for another cool gadget we wrote about in a previous article you enjoyed so much, called It’s not a Standard Mouse the Moldable Mouse. The company is known worldwide as a top producer of imaging products, enclosures, power supplies and LEDs, for both global and domestic market sectors.
This time i want to show you a useful device with which you could measure the bath water temperature without needing to insert your hand in it and risk to burn your skin if it’s hot.


Designed by Kai Yi Chen, Bath Safeguard is conceived as a waterproof device with heatproof silicon plug, and an electrostatic induction charger, featuring a thermal sensor and LED lights with a color reference chart to indicate the water temperature surrounding it. When the hot water temperature is detected, it colors in red, while blue indicates a cold water temperature, and green means it’s somewhere in the middle.




From the product brochure we find out that it recognizes temperatures ranging between 81 degrees F and 113 degrees F, and it turns blue when the water is below 91 degrees F, which means you will have to wait for a while because the water is cold. It becomes green if there are 91-102 degree F and you can take a bath, and is the water temperature gets over 108 degrees F the color becomes red, telling you it was detected a dangerous level. It displays the temperature in Fahrenheit as well as in Celsius degrees.

The device replaces your standard plug and stays in the water until you take it of after you finished taking the bath. Its design is very stylish and besides the useful functionality, it also changes the look of the room completely, spreading a cool light through the water.




Bath Safeguard won at IDEA 2008 in the Medical & Scientific Concepts section.
