Two members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints appeared on ABC’s “Shark Tank” to pitch their idea of a toilet bowl light.
Matt Alexander and his brother-in-law Michael Kannely came up with the idea of illuminating toilet bowls with a light after continuously facing a dilemma most of us are all too familiar with: turn on the bathroom light in the middle of the night, or use the restroom in the dark.
Deseret News reports that Alexander first approached Kannely about the idea for a light-up bathroom mat. When Kannely suggested a motion activated light be put inside the toilet instead, the IllumiBowl was born.
Shark Tank investor Kevin O’leary offered the brothers $100,000 for 25 percent of the company. Kannely and Alexander accepted.
The IllumniBowl can be purchased from the product’s website, or at Bed, Bath & Beyond, according to Deseret News.
