LEBANON, TN (WSMV) - (video at link)
If a Lebanon inventor has his way, the bathroom experience may never be the same.
Dave Reynolds thinks toilets should glow in the dark, and he's not joking.
"I kept telling this story over and over to people and they laughed," Reynolds said. "And I said, 'One day you're not going to laugh at me. One day you're going to go to the bathroom and think of me.'"
For Reynolds, a glow-in-the-dark toilet just makes sense.
"Not right now, but at 3 in the morning, that's when it comes together," he said. "When you get up in the middle of the night, forgot you installed it, turn the corner and go, wow."
Boxes of Potty Glow toilet seats are now stored under his Wilson County home and are shipping worldwide. Reynolds said it's not a novelty, but a necessity for families with little children.
"Parents would say they don't wake us up anymore. They follow the light, go to the bathroom and go back to bed," he said. "It's a win-win for the parents and a child who's potty trained."
Reynolds said his invention is also great for the elderly and those who wake up groggy in the middle of the night.
"This glow is the same that's used by the U.S. military and NASA, that's how good it is," Reynolds said. "Our seats will glow probably 15 to 20 years."
Reynolds had success as an executive in the music business before moving into his latest venture.
Right now, Home Depot, Lowe's and Amazon carry the toilet seats online for $50. Reynolds handles the shipping from his home.

I’ve got one of those green glow-in-the-dark electric socket plug-ins in the bathroom. With night vision, it’s enough to see everything, and it uses hardly any power.
But, yes, it makes no sense to turn on the bathroom light at night and ruin your night vision.
Yep, waking up in the night with the specter of a glowing toilet seat reflected everywhere would take some getting use to.
This could be very useful. Hmmm...
I do it by “feel”.
At least I won't be buying house #4 for anyone that hates me.

Awesome if you have radioactive pee that also glows in the dark.

That conjures up visions I don’t even want to think about!
ROFLMAO! Thanks for that visual. ;-)
Tritium?
A glow in the dark radioactive toilet seat?
What could possibly go wrong?
NOTE: It's not Tritium based, just timed release phosphors....
OK...
I seriously hope this does not cause a revocation of my “man-card”,
but, after 40 years of marriage, and numerous debates
on the proper position of the toilet seat,
I must admit that after hours, in the dark, I pee sitting down.
Even living alone, I keep the seat and lid down. All the time.
I've had a big dog for most of my life, and that is not a drinking bowl... closing the lid seemed the way for me to go. lol!

Next: glow in the dark butt-paint so I can find my *** in the dark.
I should have thought of this!!! grrrr
I’ll by one.
