Countertops that charge smartphones, lighted toilet seats and beverage chillers that can be illuminated with favorite school or team colors were among some of the new and possibly useful things under the Las Vegas sun this week at the combined International Builders and Kitchen & Bath Industry shows.
Drawing high interest from conventioneers were Corian surfaces with embedded wireless power mats. Just plunk an iPhone on the counter and it starts charging. DuPont and the Power Matters Alliance also see these counters working in public spaces such as coffee shops. Look for the technology to be available to consumers later this year. The pricing is not yet set.
Night-light toilet seats from Kohler offer a subdued blue light as an option to switching on bright overheads. Designed with a seven-hour timer, the two-part light can cycle on only when needed at night. A guiding light (yes, they call it that) is in the seat hinge, and a task light is visible when the bowl lid is lifted. The list price is $75.
Wine cabinets and under-counter refrigerators using more than a dozen colors of LED lighting were unveiled by True Professional Series. Cobalt blue, lavender, ice and emerald green are among the choices. But would-be buyers will have to wait until fall before the fridges are available to consumers.
