We purchased two of these toilet seats to assist with odd shift work and middle of the night bathroom trips, and LOVE them! The light is just enough that we do not have to use any of our overhead lights to find our way into either bathroom. This helps to keep our sleep disturbances at a minimum. The light is also on an automatic setting so once you pick your intensity (low, medium, or high - we chose high), it will come on each day. We were pleasantly surprised at this since we read other reviews that said you would need to turn the light on each day. The "no wiggle" feature of the seat is another plus that we love - it really does not move. The slow close is truly sloooooow. No slams around here, and we tried. We are so glad we went with these seats and immediately recommended them to my parents!
