From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

IllumiBowl is a motion-activated night light that fits on the rim of any toilet.[1] It illuminates the inner bowl anytime that a person approaches the bathroom in the dark.[2]

IllumiBowl was founded by Matt Alexander and Michael Kannely in Provo, Utah.[2] They raised $95,970 in November 2014 to bring the product to market.[3] IllumiBowl fulfilled its Kickstarter in August 2015.[4]

On March 11, 2016, IllumiBowl was featured on ABC's television show Shark Tank. IllumiBowl successfully secured a deal with an investor Kevin O'Leary.
