Claim Text:
1. A toilet illuminating apparatus adapted for engagement to a toilet seat positionable between a horizontal position adjacent a top surface of a toilet bowel and a vertical position extending vertically from hinges engaged between a first end of said toilet seat and the toilet bowl, said illuminating apparatus comprising: a housing having an interior cavity surrounded by a planar side surface opposite a second side surface; a fastener for engaging said planar side surface to a planar surface of said toilet seat at a second end thereof opposite said first end, said planar surface of said toilet seat positioned across a gap from an upper surface of said toilet bowl with said toilet seat in said horizontal position; a first light emitter engaged with said housing; an electric power source for communicating electric power to said first light emitter; said first light emitter projecting light in a direction away from said second side of said housing, when placed in a connection to said electric power source; an ambient light sensor, said ambient light sensor opening said connection of said electric power source to said first light emitter when ambient light at or higher than a preset threshold is sensed; at least one secondary sensor, said secondary sensor configured for detecting one or a combination of triggers from a group of triggers including sound, body heat, infrared, and vibration; said secondary sensor placing said light emitter in said connection to said power source upon detecting said trigger; and whereby said toilet illuminating apparatus upon a sensing of a said trigger by said sensor emits said light away from said housing, unless said ambient light at or past said threshold is sensed by said ambient light sensor.
