Litecup - Nightlight and Non-Spill Beaker

I surely can't be alone in waking up in the night feeling thirsty, taking the glass of water from my bedside cabinet and then in my sleepy state pouring about half of it down my neck. Of course then I'm wide awake with a soggy pillow and not much water left.

So naturally I'm rather impressed with the idea of the LiteCup. It has a nifty and ingenious drinking valve so no water will flow until you suck at the lip of the cup. This prevents those unfortunate Tsunami moments when you misjudge the pouring angle.

Not only that, but the incredibly smart base of the cup emits a gentle glow when switched on, so you've got a nightlight to prevent you kneecapping yourself on the furniture when you get up to use the loo in the night. Can you tell that night time is something of a mini-disaster-ridden adventure for me at times?

The nightlight bit is light intensity sensitive, so it'll only come on in the dark and will last up to 3 months in regular use. To make the whole thing more practical the light base detatches so the rest of the beaker can just go straight in the dishwasher.

It's the ideal solution for anyone who's all thumbs until that second cup of coffee in the mornings!
