Toto Japan has been experimenting with incorporating LEDs into a variety of different products for the bath. From a night light on their uber commode the Neorest 550, to LED chromatherapy lights on their line of air tubs, Toto has now turned it's attention to lighting up the wash basin. The Halo is the latest product which incorporates a solid surface counter top basin built in. The basin is then up-lit creating a glowing halo effect.

Toto recently unveiled the Halo at the 100% Design Event in Tokyo. The effect is quite stunning in a dimly lit room. Other US brands, such as Neo-Metro, have been experimenting with lighting effects on their counter tops and basins, such as their Ebb collection. However, the Halo turns the basin into a light itself.

While not available in the US just yet, look for more products such as the Halo to begin popping up at design shows very soon.
