How do the LED lights get the energy needed to light?

I have no clue but there is no electricity to them. I guess the water pressure possibly generates it... The unit does use batteries for the panel that displays the water temperature, but no wires go to the shower heads. Both the large and small shower head light up... We just installed this unit a few weeks ago in a new bathroom that my husband has been working on. We LOVE it.

Water Pressure goes through a chamber that turns a small motor this giving power to the lights. You can blow into the shower head with your mouth and see the lights come on.

Uses the little fan style bulbs. Make sure there not energy efficient. I tried energy efficient ones and twouldn't work for some reason

Most of the heat from a candescent bulb is dissipated via radiant energy. Most of the heat from LED bulbs is dissipated via conduction, either through sockets/fixtures not designed for such a purpose, or to the air, which is why the bulbs are typically surround by finned heatsinks. The problem is fineed heatsinks do not work effectively with stagnant air surround them.

I am using energy efficient light bulbs, but they aren't LED. Love my lamp though.

Great....these LED front bike lights have temp energy storage in a capacitor, which too is why when you stop the light is still bright.

You need to run power from a dc transformer to the light using a special cable. here is a kit for example LEDwholesalers Linkable Low Profile LED Rigid Strip and Power Supply for Display Case and Under Cabinet Lighting, 24-Inch, Warm White, 1988WW+1989PWR+3227

Brittany, sorry about the slow response time, I bought this item for my Grand daughter and we set it up last Christmas, this item is battery powered and doesn't generate heat at all from what I can tell, I believe the lights are LED so they are very cool.

I have not had or used this long enough to find out. I think the LEDs current draw is low on the four D cells. Hasn't dimmed in about half hour total on time so far. I suspect it would run much longer than a light with an incandescent bulb.

Yes. LED bulbs produce very little heat and that is why the are so energy efficient.

I am not sure. JMK's review of Nov. 25, 2013 mentions using led's. I use cfl's.

There is one LED that always stays lit showing it has power and is ready to use. It is at the bottom of the switch.

It depends on the type of LED strip you're using. Some strips use more power than others because they use more powerful LEDs, or more LEDs per foot.

With LEDs you can't really translate lumens. I used the light with pretty good results. You want an open area, as to trap the heat released by the lights side exhaust. The light itself doesn't cause much heat, but the fan exhaust do!

This is ere I am using it. LED light is NOT supposed to attract bugs and has MUCH lower power consumption. Hope this helps!

Yes they do produce heat. You decide based upon how much light you want/need.

I am using 300watt equivalent LED bulb but it actually only use 40 watt energy.

I believe LED lights, but it would be best to confirm through the description details on amazon or contact Philips directly.
