temperature sensitive led faucet 1When several people use the same faucet, you never know what water temperature you might experience when it’s your turn. With the LightInTheBox Temperature Sensitive Single Handle Centerset LED Lavatory Faucet, you no longer have to whip your hand in and out and risk scalding your skin to see if the water might be too hot. Just looking at the LED equipped faucet will tell you whether the temperature is cold (below 25Β° C/77Β° F = Green Light), warm (26-35Β° C/78-95Β° F = blue light), hot (36-45Β° C/96-113Β° F = red light) or approaching dangerous temperatures (above 45Β° C/113Β° F = flashing red light).Β 

According to the Burn Foundation,

Hot Water Causes Third Degree Burns…
…in 1 second at 156ΒΊ
…in 2 seconds at 149ΒΊ
…in 5 seconds at 140ΒΊ
…in 15 seconds at 133ΒΊ

…Hot tap water is a major cause of burn injury. As with other scald burns, young children and older adults are most at risk.

…Before placing a child into the bath or getting into the tub yourself…The temperature should not exceed 100ΒΊ F/39ΒΊ C. A child’s delicate skin will burn more quickly than an adult’s.

…[You should] Adjust the thermostat setting on your water heater to produce a water temperature of 120ΒΊ to 125ΒΊ or less.
