It makes this usefull because it's connected to internet so you can change colors dependings of weather, facebook likes, notifications, etc.

Even dealing with Saran wrap (which will eventually tear) will be messy. Every flush produces an aerosol near the toilet. I prefer the idea of a PIR attached to a couple of semi-bright colored LEDs posted above, behind, or to the side of the toilet so there's enough illumination to see around without bright light. Since my master bathroom is a three feet away from my bed, this is a must-try to avoid waking up my partner.</p>

Put the Arduino and everything in a nice case somewhere else, with the LED strip the only thing on/in the bowl. I need to make this, but not tell my wife. :-)</p>

Placing the parts in the bowl subjects them to some chemical compounds that are corrosive, and most certainly unsanitary. While the circuitry is fun looking, perhaps the concept is flawed.</p>
