Lighted Shower Head Changes Color with Temperature
This shower head's embedded LEDs change color with the temperature of the water, going from white to blue to red as it heats up. Even niftier, though, is that it requires to external power source to work, instead powering itself from the pressure of the water itself, presumably with a small turbine.
Right now it's listed on Alibaba.com, which means it's not easily available in a store, but perhaps will be when someone contracts the Chinese manufacturer to produce a bulk order.

Shouldn't "requires to external power source" be "requires -no- external power source"?
Looks fun. Once you figure out what shade corresponds to your preferred temp, you'd never need get frozen or scalded again.
That's just friggin' rad. As soon as those go on sale where I can buy just one I am on it.
There is already one available for faucets! It's intended as a novelty but has actually been widely adopted for use by preschools, nursing homes, etc (anywhere someone could get accidentally burned)!
You can find them here.
bobkat, they're cheaper ($15) on thinkgeek.com
i'd love to get one of these shower heads, but there's no way that i'm breaking up with my current one.
To someone who grew up watching Mr. Freeze on the old Batman TV series (like me), this makes perfect sense.
BOBKAT I like the Nuclear Food containers on that page. Take 'em to work and watch the terrorist fun begin!
em, isn't it about time we boycotted chinese stuff?

Joel, you seem to have a good eye for interesting novelties. Why not start your own import business?
Makes me wish I still did acid!
Now if it would additionally react to audio cues then I could get on with that disco shower experience.
An invention similar to this one might help me to see more clearly when I'm shaving my butt in the shower.
I want one that's red all the time, so that it looks like I'm showering in blood. Mua ha ha ha!
